In our recent webinar, we explored the transformative potential of Generative AI in reducing support costs for medical practices. The session covered:
Introduction to Generative AI: Understanding its capabilities and applications in healthcare.
Cost Reduction Strategies: Demonstrating how AI can automate routine tasks, streamline patient communication, and minimise administrative burdens.
Interactive Q&A: Participants engaged with our experts to address specific concerns and implementation strategies.
Key Solutions That Were Discussed
- Automated Patient Communication: Generative AI can manage appointment scheduling, reminders, and routine inquiries through automated messages. This reduces the need for manual intervention, allowing staff to focus on more complex tasks while ensuring patients receive timely information and support.
- Leverage Voice & Text AI Systems: At most medical practices patients reach out to the front desk via calls or text. In most cases, the purposes for which patients are calling are almost the same- appointment booking, managing appointment, referrals, prescription refill, queries etc. There is a potential to reduce the number of calls coming to your agents by 90% by leveraging ‘Smart’ Voice & Text AI assistants that can handle front desk operations. This would also mean as the patient traffic grows, you would not need to hire more front desk staff as AI can take care of growing traffic.
- Data Driven Insights: AI analytics can track and analyse patient interactions, providing valuable insights into operational patterns and patient behavior. This data helps practices optimise their processes, predict patient needs, and make informed decisions to enhance overall efficiency and reduce support costs.
