CHALLENGE

OVERWHELMED CALL CENTER

A medical center, burdened with understaffing and inefficient processes, struggled to manage its central scheduling call center. Long wait times, high call abandonment rates, and declining patient satisfaction threatened to compromise its reputation and operational efficiency. The medical center required a partner to quickly deploy a skilled team and implement innovative solutions to transform its call center operations.

RESULTS

ELEVATED ORDER & EFFICIENCY

EC-United provided staffing for central scheduling call center support, which ultimately reversed the cycle of inefficiency and elevated the call center to a state of peak performance. This included processing more referrals per day, reducing call abandonment rates, and increasing speed to answer, drastically bolstering client success and establishing a new standard of order and effectiveness.

INTEGRATED OPERATIONS

EC-United fully integrated its team with the client's existing staff. This streamlined documentation frees up agent time and ensures consistent, accurate information capture across all interactions.

Our abandonment rate was around 35%. We improved by more than 28% now. That’s definitely a big improvement. Also, there were long wait times and people were waiting for 30 minutes for a scheduler. EC-United helped with customer experience and improving KPIs. Speed to answer improved with new functionality as we had terrible timing. I can tell you there has been 60% improvement all the way around. Maybe some places even 90%!

EC-United is top notch. I work with a lot of vendors and have oversight committee meetings. EC-United is up there and they stayed more connected to me than most. They met every day with my team and there was weekly reporting. We don’t do that with others vendors and I meet them only monthly. EC-United provides a whole different service.
