For many organizations across many industries the appeal of having a 24/7 contact center is growing.
During the normal business hours of 8-5 Monday-Friday, it can be challenging for people to make appointments, find information, or seek reassurance from an organization. People seem busier than ever, working jobs, commuting, taking care of kids, all while looking after their own health and wellbeing.
But more and more organizations across the spectrum are realizing the value of being available for your consumers whenever they need it.
And, nowhere is this truer than in the healthcare industry.
As well as catering to an increasingly busy patient demographic, who are growing more accustomed to on-demand services, healthcare is unique in that patients can develop a genuine need to connect with their healthcare provider at any time day or night. Even if it is not something requiring an emergency call, the patient can feel vulnerable and confused until they can reach their provider to seek reassurance, guidance on next steps, information or just someone to talk to be it during public holidays, weekends or out of hours.
But of course, it can be difficult for providers to justify running a 24/7 conctact center. It can be costly to maintain and run one all day and night.
Also, it can be difficult to manage your workforce, so you have the right level of staffing at the right times to deal with the ebbs and flows of patient demand. The volume of calls can differ significantly from 3am on a Thursday night to 10 am on a Monday morning, for example.
Because of these challenges, finding the right outsourcing partner is often the best decision, both in terms of cost efficiency and patient experience. It allows healthcare providers, both large and small, to offer their patients round-the-clock access to care, while maintaining their focus on their core competencies.
