Use Cases

Description:

Elevate your approach to patient engagement

Achieve operational efficiencies, delight patients, and ease care management throughout the patient journey with an expanding portfolio of existing applications—or custom‑build your own. Work towards a comprehensive engagement strategy by continually adding automation where it makes sense. Our single solution can easily expand to additional patient journey use cases and channels.

NLU‑powered Intelligent Virtual Agent (IVA)

Deliver modern convenience when Nuance IVA accepts patient input in natural language, understands intent, and successfully resolves requests. Patients interact within natural conversations on phone lines, online chat, or messaging applications. System integration delivers access to information that drives effective self‑service capabilities, improving the patient experience.

Voice IVA routing

Surpass the capabilities of basic Interactive Voice Response (IVR), with Nuance IVA Routing on voice channels. Callers verbalize their needs—faster and easier than choosing from a laundry list of recited options—and are routed to mapped destinations like phone lines, self‑service options, or live agents. Patients get what they need while organizations decrease the number of calls handled by live agents.

Appointment Management

Automate the delivery of voice, email, and SMS appointment reminders based on real‑time data and extend the convenience of interactive confirming, cancelling, and rescheduling on the channel of contact. Alleviate care team manual work and speed service when patients modify or schedule appointments within an automated, conversational dialogue on voice and digital channels.

Patient Support

Empower patients to self‑serve telehealth visit preparation and patient portal account access or navigation issues. NLU‑powered conversational AI offers 24x7x365 bilingual assistance, with the option to transfer to a live agent.

Intelligent outreach

Strengthen the patient‑physician relationship and encourage good health with personalized outreach. From care gap reminders to broadcast messages to preventative screening notifications, thoughtful communication promotes wellness, protects revenue, and boosts satisfaction.

Patient FAQs

Extend the convenience of 24x7x365 access to answers to questions about patient care, appointments, billing, insurance, amenities, and services. Patients contact their provider on their channel of choice, interact conversationally, and receive requested information.

Rx management

Allow patients to self‑serve prescription refill requests that trigger automatic in‑workflow approval requests for physicians and refill status notifications for patients.

Biometric authentication

Protect patient data with biometric authentication through Nuance Gatekeeper and replace outdated, vulnerable authentication methods.

Do it yourself, but not alone

Harness the power of best‑in‑class Conversational AI services and APIs with Nuance Mix tooling platform and design a natural, conversational patient engagement experience. Use IVR and NLU, Text to Speech (TTS), and Speech to Text (STT) to power interactive dialogs. Once an application exists, quick adjustments allow deployment in multiple languages across multiple channels. Patients engage in natural conversations—no matter how they get in touch.

Differentiators vs Competitors:

Differentiator 1: All-In-One Platform

  • Real-time analytics across the platform
  • Automated workflow and decision support tools
  • Automated feedback loop with referring providers
  • Automated patient communications via text or email
  • Integrated fax management system (port over existing fax numbers)
  • Integrated Customer/Partner Relationship Management (CRM/PRM)
  • Marketing research tools based on a directory of over 7 million providers

Differentiator 2: Rapid Integration Capabilities

  • Our integration engine allows our Integrations Team to quickly deploy system interfaces using APIs, FHIR, HL7, Direct, etc. which is important when implementing the platform for health systems, ACOs and CINs with many EHRs, data warehouses and other third-party systems across their networks.  
  • In addition, we comply with the third-party system’s specifications rather than asking the vendor to follow our requirements which streamlines the integration process and reduces cost for the client. 

Differentiator 3: All Healthcare Referrals Supported

  • The system is highly configurable and can support all healthcare referral types such as medical, specialty care, therapy, imaging, dental, behavioral health, hospice, home care, etc.  
  • The customization in the system allows clients to define their own workflows, referral forms, patient communication templates, and other settings that can be standardized across the organization.
