Reducing Hold Times in Healthcare Call Centers

Healthcare call centers

When patients call your office and are met with long hold times, they don’t wait patiently. They hang up. Often, they look elsewhere for care. And just like that, you’ve lost a patient. You may also wind up with a negative online review, which slowly chips away at your reputation.

When this happens, it’s not just a minor inconvenience. It’s a direct hit to patient satisfaction, appointment volume, and revenue.

Frustration Builds and Reputation Slips

Hold times don’t just annoy patients. They signal that your practice is overwhelmed or understaffed. And when calls go unanswered or voicemails pile up, your team feels the pressure too.

The consequences?

  • Patients leave negative reviews
  • Front desk staff burn out
  • Schedules have empty slots
  • You lose loyal patients to other practices

Building an in-house call center is expensive. Oclinicals gives you the benefits of a fully staffed team without the overhead.

Recruiting the right people is time-intensive and expensive. Once they’ve been hired, you’ll have to worry about training them and managing them. The team will require physical office space to work, plus equipment.
