Broadly defined, Digital Health is the intersection between healthcare and technology. It is how care providers connect, communicate, and manage relationships with patients, families, and communities. It is also how technology (and the data within) is leveraged to deliver safe, quality care efficiently to broader populations with improved outcomes. However you define it, you need a clear strategy and tactical plan to achieve and evolve it.

Call center automation is also advancing patient access and satisfaction.  Strategically deploying new capabilities made possible by recent developments in AI can improve performance across many metrics.

Challenges

Most healthcare organizations need help understanding their current Digital Health and Call Center Automation capabilities and developing a strategic roadmap that will enable them to deliver a differentiating, consistent, and value-based patient experience in the future. Challenges often include:

  • Lack of an integrated digital strategy
  • Cost-effectiveness and sustainability of digital solutions
  • Enabling all of the above while keeping data safe and secure
  • Limitations of system interoperability or lack of standards
  • Outdated call center infrastructure and lack of automation
  • Call center turnover and high labor costs

Impact Advisors supported a digital architecture service optimization program at a Fortune 100 pharmaceutical company, resulting in enhanced customer experience and a 2-level year-over-year increase on the Gartner Digital Architecture Maturity Survey

Impact Advisors helped a Medicare Advantage provider with:

  • Advanced risk stratification to break patient panels down to individual level

  • Individualized care journeys delivered at the point-of-care through proprietary suite of digital solutions

  • Using proprietary and 3rd party data to build AI predictions for optimizing care and resources

Impact Advisors helped a university health system develop a digital roadmap to enable enterprise strategy.

  • Defined and launched Digital Governance Structure

  • Launched Agile Product Teams (e.g., Access, Virtual Care, Ambulatory Experience, Digital Outreach, Industry Partnerships)

  • Defined program and product success metrics

Impact Advisors helped a large Midwest health system transform their call center operations using AI. We established a vision and path to vet, implement, and optimize four interconnected software products from a mix of vendors, each featuring the latest AI capabilities available. This eliminated reliance on outsourced call center staff, minimized overtime use, reduced staff turnover, and decreased the need for live agents. Call center staff are now more satisfied and more productive.
