About the Solution

Our client, a renowned specialty hospital, wanted to optimize their CRM software and create an easier way for patients or anyone seeking medical advice to reach out to them. They wanted something that could unify patient data, handle clinical records, manage  scheduling, billing, outreach, and patient communication. 

Background

Modern healthcare institutions need a robust and optimized backbone that can assist them in their operational work. Having a platform that helps in care coordination, automates repetitive and manual tasks, gives personalized alerts, provides educational content, and easy communication with care teams can make healthcare operations a little easier. 

The hospital wanted to optimize their legacy system and add new features that could eliminate fragmented patient experience, manual clinical operations, unsynchronized care coordination and low portal adoption. We helped them create a connected experience across clinical, administrative, and research functions and improve their quality, efficiency, and growth.

Challenges

Here are the challenges that the organization was facing:

Poor care coordination for chronic disease patients

The doctors and nurses were unsynchronized about patient data

Low patient satisfaction scores

The administrative overload resulted in the staff not being able to manage all the data 

Data Silos

The patient and employee data were scattered with no proper segmentation, leading to poor management. 

Low Digital Patient Engagement

The website and portals were not optimized, neither did they work with modern features

Operational Inefficiencies

Bookings, appointments, schedules and other operational tasks were not uniform

Objectives

The core objective of this project is to provide the client with a system that helps in care coordination, automates repetitive and manual tasks, gives personalized alerts and helps train staff. Let us see in detail:

Analysis

Here is an analysis of what the new system can do to optimize the organization:

✓ Breaking Data Silos: All the information can be found at one place.

✓ Legacy System Optimization: The original system is not replaced but optimized 

✓ Intelligent Care Coordination: The staff has a much easier time segmenting patient data and staff information. All the departments were coordinated and updated about the patient's current status. 

✓ Omni-Channel Patient Engagement: The patient-doctor conversation can be done on multiple channels so as to not lose data. 

✓ Elevated Patient Satisfaction: Appointments are more timely and patients can even ask about their diagnosis remotely.

✓ Modernizing the CRM for Growth: Integrating Salesforce into the legacy system to make it more comfortable to use.
