Our Skills & Expertise

 

24/7 Patient Support

(Call Screening and Message Relay)

Patients who dial into our hotline 6333-5550 are attended to by a skilled team of customer service representatives (CSRs) who screen all calls and relay messages to customers according to their preferred mode(s), viz.  SMS,  permission-based warm transfers and voice calls to mobile, clinic, ward, department and  residential numbers. We are able to forward a copy of the  messages to designated email addresses for monitoring and tracking.

Overflow Receptionist

Statistics show that 30 - 50% of inbound calls are handled by our CSRs during clinic hours. Clinics routinely effect a call transfer to our  hotline during peak clinic hours when clinic staff may be busy with other urgent matters and are not able to answer the telephone at that time. This results in a substantial reduction of missed calls at the clinic end.

Access to Call Logs

For medico-legal reasons, calls are logged and archived for a 2-year period. 

Quality Assurance

The Operations Manager and Team Managers monitor and audit calls to ensure that the skills of individual CSRs are maintained at prescribed levels.

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Protocol

Our business  continuity  plans  ensure continuous operability should power supply outages occur or where critical hardware fails.
