| dc.description.abstract | This pilot study explores the impact of healthcare contact centers on patient satisfaction, care coordination, and the use of customer relationship management (CRM) systems. With the increasing reliance on contact centers due to the growth and advancement in healthcare, contact centers provide a centralized primary contact point for patients allowing support for patient interactions. The study conducted revealed a positive correlation between the use of a contact center and patient satisfaction, indicating that those who utilize the contact center generally encounter agent professionalism and caller satisfaction. However, no quantitative data was gathered to measure the effect of a contact center on care coordination but qualitative findings showed healthcare contact centers ability to enhance care coordination through streamlined communication and information management. Furthermore, the integration of a CRM system is identified in this study as a key factor in improving service delivery, fostering personalized patient care, call volume metrics, and efficient processing while lessening burden on clinical staff. This paper provides insights into the role of healthcare contact centers in facilitating patient engagement and care processes, while highlighting areas for future research. | |
