Overview

Intelligent Contacts facilitates communication between healthcare providers and patients

from every generation. Every patient has different communication styles and preferences.

Most Baby Boomers prefer a more personal touch, while Gen Xers enjoy “do it yourself”

independence, and for Gen Y and Millennials a smartphone might as well be a prosthetic

appendage. With these differences in style, how do providers make every patient feel

special?

The Intelligent Care solution combines voice, text/SMS, email, and web self service

technologies to provide the perfect balance of automation and personal touch utilizing the

communication channel each patient prefers without overburdening staff. Matching

communication channels with patient preferences engages the patient and makes them feel

more connected to the provider, more valued, and “cared for”. It puts them in control and

patients respond by relating higher overall satisfaction. Patients express they feel more

nurtured and supported. In short, they report that they received a higher level of care.

Intelligent Contacts solutions are delivered via Software as a Service (SaaS) which means no

capital expense, no hardware required, and no additional burden on IT staff.

Internal Communication

Intelligent Contacts is great for patient communication, but it works just as well to get the word

out to internal staff and more. Our clients use IC solutions within their organizations for:

Post Discharge Follow Up

Preventing unnecessary readmission is a challenge due to the complexity of diseases and social

situations. Most hospital stays are short. After discharge continued healing is dependent on the

patient and family care givers following instructions they may or may not have completely

understood. Unfortunately many patients lack the

support they need for optimal recovery at home. Left

alone patients are often confused about medications,

therapy, and follow up procedures, and all too often

make their best guess without asking their provider.

While there is no one perfect solution, Intelligent Care

includes multiple components each playing a key role in

patient care and promoting recovery.

Live Voice: Ideal for patients at high risk of readmission, Intelligent Contacts predictive dialer

fills the need of connecting patients with nursing staff, social workers, case managers, or

volunteers by managing inbound and outbound call campaigns. 300% more productive

than manual dialing, IC maximizes staff productivity without sacrificing a personal touch.

Automated Message: An effective follow up for many patients is an unobtrusive message.

After receiving a message, patients report higher satisfaction and report feeling that the

provider is more concerned about their long term health. Messaging puts the patient in

control by giving them an opportunity to instantly connect to a live person if they have a

question or need assistance. The call is perceived as friendly contact if things are going well.

Text/SMS Message: Many patients under 30 communicate extensively via text message.

Texting has proven to be an incredibly effective follow up tool and the IC SMS solution

supports instant two way communication. In addition to simple messages, staff can include

web links to post discharge instructions, worksheets, and other helpful information. Like

voice messaging SMS puts patients in control of communication without interruption while

adding a friendly way to communicate in the way they prefer.

E-Mail: Easily send patient reminders, follow up referrals, and informally check up on their

recovery progress. Email is the ideal channel to provide web links and easy access to care

instructions, therapy worksheets, notes, e-cards, preventative care information, and

newsletters. The IC email system is also the perfect way to solicit patient feedback through

surveys and easily measure patient satisfaction.

Patient Reminders

Missed appointments are costly and time is the one resource that

can never be recovered. Staff time is incredibly valuable also and

using them to make manual reminder calls is inefficient. Intelligent

Care includes automated voice, text, and email reminder tools for

friendly and efficient patient reminders. Communicate to patients in

the way they prefer to hear from you. Make “no shows” a thing of

the past and keep staff focused on their high value responsibilities. Intelligent Care
