Why your healthcare clinic needs call centre appointment scheduling

 

Using a call centre for handing your medical or dental clinics appointment scheduling has many benefits. It can give your patients an efficient and less frustrating experience while streamlining your clinic’s business practices.

What exactly is call centre appointment scheduling?

Medical clinics, dental offices, counseling centres, and holistic health providers are just a few examples of businesses that take advantage of call centre appointment scheduling. If scheduling appointments make up the bulk of what you do, you’ll benefit from it too.

CommAlert can offer appointment scheduling in two ways. If you find your reception is putting calls on hold, we can be there as a backup. After a certain number of rings, the call comes to the call centre, and we schedule the appointment. You can also set up an automated phone system that guides callers to make an appointment. They press ‘1’ to schedule an appointment, and we get the call.

Then our skilled and trained call centre representatives will take the appointment and seamlessly transfer it into your system in real-time. Your callers will never know they’ve reached a call centre. They will be served fast and efficiently, and your frontline staff will be relieved of this sometimes-overwhelming task.
