Case Study

Essential technology for Essential Workers through COVID-19

1. The Business

During COVID-19 healthcare organisations faced challenges, particularly around patient communications and management.  

A hospital in Indonesia and wanted to ensure patients were not coming into the main areas of the hospital if they exhibited COVID symptoms. They need a way to communicated with patients to understand their symptoms and if they did have COVID-19 symptoms, the hospital to direct them to the relevant area of the hospital with a full briefing of the precautions needed.  

2. The Challenge

With an increase in customer calls, and a need to keep hospital staff and patients safe, this hospital needed a way to safely triage patients, while also ensuring clear patient communication through the phone.  

This brought on the need for technology that could facilitate several requirements such as call routing, flexible licencing options, and supporting the shift to virtual model.  

They were also looking to integrate their contact centre with their patient management system to ensure information was centralised.
