Healthcare Alerts (2)

Decrease the number of no-shows with outbound alerts

No-shows result in wasted resources such as staff time and administrative costs. Reminding your patients of upcoming appointments using iceAlert reduces the number of no-shows. This save's your employees’ time and allows them to focus their attention on other important areas of patient care.

Staffing Levels (2)

Guarantee optimal agent staffing levels with a workforce management (WFM) integration

Utilizing historical demand to forecast staffing requirements for agents ensures that your contact center maintains appropriate agent staffing levels. Ensure you have adequate agents available to take calls during seasonal peaks, such as the flu season, by utilizing historical demand to forecast staffing requirements with WFM.

Communication Channels (2)

Ensure your patients can contact you by providing multiple channels of communication

Providing patients with the freedom to select their preferred communication channels alleviates the pressure of calling in for those with social anxiety or hearing impairments. This leads to a personalized and accommodating patient experience.

BC Children's Hospital Foundation (BCCHF) motivates people to join its mission and elevate the standards of children's healthcare. Their goal is to fund new programs, equipment, and research for the hospital. Before the pandemic, BCCHF staff and volunteers would come together to host a fundraising broadcast in one physical location. When COVID-19 hit, BCCHF could no longer operate the broadcast in person and required a solution that functioned remotely. Fortunately, they were introduced to ice, a cloud-based solution that enabled their agents to effectively handle calls from the safety of their own homes. After the success of the 2020 telethon, they realized ice was here to stay.

 

Increased productivity with no downtime

When the COVID-19 pandemic began, a centralized provincial health system faced new challenges. With the emergence of widespread COVID-19 testing across the province, hundreds of thousands of patients needed ways to receive their test results.

The organization decided to use iceAlert to deliver notifications of test results to patients by SMS. The provincial health system quickly scaled up its usage, taking full advantage of iceAlert's scalability and ease of use to quadruple monthly output with no downtime. iceAlert continues to improve operations by screening incoming patients for infectious diseases.
