Savannah, Georgia-based Savannah Neurological Specialists (SNS) works with more than 50 advanced practice providers and physicians in a variety of neurological care specialties. After signing on with an answering service provider staffed with live agents, SNS started to experience significant problems. Average wait times for patients and referring providers were far too long, language barriers and a lack of medical training for agents resulted in transmission of inaccurate information, and providers often had to call patients back using their personal numbers, which exposed their private contact information.
These and other issues negatively impacted provider satisfaction and increased patient risk. By implementing PerfectServe’s Practice Communication solution, SNS saw a number of improvements, including:
-
- Enhanced communication workflows with fewer delays
- Improved information accuracy
- Increased provider confidence and privacy
- Improved patient calling experience
