In an announcement from UK Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Thérèse Coffey, she shared a new plan to help healthcare providers see more patients more quickly by investing in cloud-based phone systems.
The move will free up one million appointments a year and help people get care when they need it most.
Why Cloud-Based Phone Systems Can Help
By investing in a cloud-based phone system like Aircall, GPs will be able to reduce patient waiting time (especially for surgery appointments) and increase the number of patients they’re able to see on a given day.
Providers and receptionists alike will be able to quickly respond to patients while connecting their phones with essential business tools to gain visibility into call metrics like response time, access features like call waiting, and respond to changing needs.
It will also give them access to the analytics they need to easily show how many appointments they’re handling and the improvements they make over time (making the transition to these new expectations a lot less stressful).
