The introduction of these new integrations between Intermedia Intelligent Contact Center (a centralized platform for managing customer interactions across voice, SMS, email, and chat) and Epic, Cerner, MEDITECH, and other EHR systems is just the latest in a series of advancements by Intermedia that are designed to enhance patient engagement, automate communication workflows, and streamline administrative tasks.
Features and benefits of these integrations include:
- Expedited patient verification and call resolution– relevant patient information based on the caller ID is automatically populated on the care provider’s screen, which helps fast-track patient verification and reduce call handling times. Dashboard display options can include prescription history, members in the household, outstanding bills, and other information that helps streamline a connected patient care experience;
- Inbound self-service options with Interactive Voice Response (IVR)– provides patients with self-service IVR options to fulfill tasks themselves such as bill payments, managing appointments, and renewing prescriptions. As a result, total call volume is reduced, allowing healthcare staff to attend to more complex patient requests;
- Automated outbound notifications – further expands on existing Dynamic Notification capabilities, this feature enables organizations to send voice, SMS, email, and chat based on real-time EHR events such as upcoming appointments and prescription refills to help healthcare providers decrease the volume of time-consuming tasks, reduce appointment no-shows, and increase patient engagement by allowing patients to use the communications channels that they prefer.
