WEBINAR DETAILS

Jennifer calls two healthcare organizations seeking information. Her impression of the first organization is that they are attentive, competent, and ready to help. The second organization feels indifferent, unfriendly, and abrupt. This impression was formed from a single phone call. Poor telephone behaviors – whether systemic or interpersonal – reduce access and could be a top branding issue. Healthcare providers have less to fear from competitors offering the same services than from indifference on the part of a team member. To be fair, telephone rapport can be difficult to accomplish because calls tend to be transactional. This webinar will cover bite-sized skills that can be implemented quickly and result in significantly better patient experiences.

How can you sustain the gains implemented as a result of attending this webinar? You can't observe every telephone call. The solution is a peer coaching program to reinforce agency standards throughout the year. A peer call coaching program is the most effective way to sustain positive call behaviors and customer satisfaction. By the end of this webinar attendees will have a simple, ready-to-implement program.

Attendance certificate provided to self-report CE credits.
