  • Auto attendant

    greets the caller, for example with a message saying that their call will be answered and ensures they are not left listening to a ring tone. It helps cut down the amount of time patients spend waiting in queues, as patient’s enquiries for opening hours and other information can be answered.

  • Call queueing

    allows patient’s calls to be queued at network level before they are delivered to a handset at the practice. Comfort messages can be played too, which will give patients reassurance that their call will be answered soon and provide information such as opening hours.

  • Call recording

    used to train and coach new receptionists, nurses and practice managers. Plus, the doctor or nurse can have the ability to retrospectively record the entire call, should they feel the need.

  • Sophisticated statistical analysis

    of inbound/ outbound calls can help identify the busiest periods to help plan for staff scheduling.

  • Integration with industry-specific CRMs

    can keep a record of call history and interactions with patients, as well as screen-pops on inbound calls to create a sense of customer service and care when answering calls.

  • PC soft client

    presence and chat can be used to communicate amongst the team in order to help meet patient confidentiality.

  • Receptionist console

    helps reduce the time it takes for a call to come in and be transferred to the necessary department or individual. The ability to re-order the queue is important, as some calls may need to be dealt with quicker than others in case of emergency. ‘Presence’ allows the receptionist to check who is available before transferring the call.

  • Disaster recovery plan

    such as failing over to another number (mobile, other practice) ensures no calls are missed.
