AI is one of the most powerful digital tools to have in your arsenal
There is no doubt that with the constant expansion of technology, AI has been getting more and more usage in various branches. Healthcare systems around the world are beginning to digitalize and use new, innovative tools and technologies to improve not only their healthcare services but also their ability to communicate with patients effectively and efficiently.
A natural language processing engine built 100% to manage healthcare interactions can greatly improve the effectiveness of your communication with patients. Thus, in turn, this AI also improves the effectiveness of your clinic. Why is this exactly the case? Well, to begin with, conversational AI or AI backed by a natural processing engine and machine learning technology has the ability to maintain regular conversations and perform completely natural dialogues with patients. Most importantly, this kind of AI has the ability to learn and approach each patient differently depending on what the patient likes or dislikes. Patients will get a feeling as if they were communicating with a regular person. However, the greatest advantage is being able to completely skip the usage of call centers and usage of numerous agents whose training and setup can be very expensive. Not to mention that this kind of AI can operate 24.7 and perform multiple different tasks at once.
So, this kind of AI can power different digital apps and services as well as tools that your clinic can utilize to combat problems such as no-shows, waiting times, slow communication, and many others. Let's now take a look at some of the many tools this AI powers and helps maintain the effectiveness of your clinic.
Use a proactive service to manage confirmation of appointments
Appointment scheduling is a crucial element of any healthcare clinic. Clinics often try to boost their scheduling performance in different ways. However, nowadays, thanks to the development of new technology, a proactive service that allows for confirmation of appointments, can help your patients manage and remember appointments and/or shifts as well as offer the possibility of re-scheduling when necessary.
Helping your patients manage and remember appointments is useful as it not only helps them with the scheduling but also helps you have a clear insight into upcoming appointments and which of those have been confirmed or canceled.
Form preventive campaigns for health easily to help your patients with regular check-ups
Regular check-ups for certain patients are extremely important. Using a tool that helps patients in a form of a preventive health assistant can inform them of the care they require and help your patients schedule appointments. This service seeks to remind patients of those periodic check-ups and/or examinations. The main goal of this service is to allow your clinic to engage with your patients quickly and deliver personalized and timely information, safeguarding the health care of patients and generating activity for the medical center.
This service acts as a preventive health assistant, as mentioned above, and its main role is to maintain a continuous dialogue with the patient via email. The uses of this service allow remembering, for example, annual PAP control, mammography, prostate control for men over 50 years of age, and healthy control in children, among others.
Help your medical staff manage their time using new services to help them organize their agenda
If the medical staff working in your clinic has the ability to organize their agenda and schedules anytime, anywhere, with a single click, the effectiveness of their work, and thus your clinic, will surely spike. Using a proactive service called my agenda, physicians can manage their schedule anytime, anywhere. Doctors can find out about the appointments and/or shifts reserved and available from anywhere. This helps them facilitate the organization of their agenda, better manage their time, manage availability, and optimize their offer.

Medical blocks, cancelations, and reascudulling happen constantly in the world of healthcare. However, no-shows or missed appointments are definitely going to slow down the work of your clinic and its effectiveness. They will unnecessarily take up someone else spot. With new digital tools and services backed by a powerful AI, you can notify patients and manage the rescheduling of the appointment and/or shift when the consultation will not take place.
