Outsourced Medical Appointment Scheduling

Key Results

The Problem

Our healthcare client needed to increase appointment scheduling capacity.

Our client is known for providing a high level of quality care through a network of Urgent Care, Primary Care, and Adult Care facilities. They have been providing healthcare to the medically underserved for more than 20 years.

The client had been internally managing calls to educate patients about available wellness benefits and to schedule appointments for health check-ups and a variety of other services. Our client wanted to increase calling capacity to set up more appointments for their providers.

When selecting an outsourcing partner, our client was looking for:

A nearshore option offering Spanish language with excellent English skills
A provider that could deliver a superior patient experience

After researching multiple outsourcing companies, our client decided to go with our team at Radius Global Solutions to help better serve their community. Read on to discover the results that we were able to achieve for our client!

Our Solution

Radius offered a nearshore outsourcing solution in Panama.

Using extensive inbound and outbound experience with multiple complex programs, our solution delivered on all of the critical factors the client expected:

Nearshore location
Inbound and Outbound Calling Capabilities
Bilingual agents with strong English abilities

Ability to expand
Flexible hours and staffing
Strong emphasis on quality and performance management (obtaining KPI’s)

We established connectivity to our client’s appointment scheduling website using virtual training tools, so our agents and supervisors were able to train remotely.
