With millions of data points coming into and out of the call center, helping agents and leaders discover trends within the voice of the customer has become a glaring need. With call center AI, pattern identification analyzes large volumes of customer interaction data, locating common trends or repeated elements that may be missed by agents who are working on resolutions, notes, resources, and remaining compliant. This allows businesses to identify common issues or concerns, enabling them to proactively address them before they become major problems, like customer churn or loss of revenue.
Call center AI has the power to provide real-time feedback to agents and managers. This means that staff can receive immediate feedback on their performance, enabling them to make adjustments and improvements in the moment. This improves the call center’s overall efficiency and helps ensure customers receive the best service and support. While the fears of AI have truth, the benefits of this innovation – coupled with a platform focused on intentional and responsible industry-specific models and machine learning (ML) – in call centers is skyrocketing AI as an essential tool for healthcare organizations of all sizes.
On Task and On Track with AI
AI revolutionizes the way call centers strategize, respond, and operate. With automated capabilities, AI can take over tasks that were once the sole responsibility of call center agents. These tasks include:
- Notetaking for customer profile management
- Identifying customer concerns or complaints
- Analyzing customer sentiment
- Sharing the positive impact of a product or service
By taking on these tasks, AI allows call center agents to stay present in the conversation and focus on the quality of the call. Instead of relying on memory to recall the interaction, agents can now collect real-time feedback from customers and respond in a more empathetic way.
As this allows healthcare to grow more customer-centric, call center AI can track traditional call center metrics and KPIs, like FCR, AHT, and average time in queue. This provides valuable insights into the performance of the call center, allowing managers to allocate resources more effectively, improve customer satisfaction, and aid in employee empowerment.
The value of AI has been expressed through its impact on core business needs, such as customer loyalty, customer growth, and brand perception. As more agents focus on quality interactions, AI allows them to improve their service and satisfaction levels. This, in turn, leads to more calls resolved without further obstacles and better overall employee and customer experiences.
Data Collection Needs Big Data Analytics
Collecting data from multiple channels like calls, messages, emails, or chatbot conversations is cumbersome. With the power of AI, data collection is nearly effortless and provides leaders the space to focus on the bigger picture of call center management and operations. Through AI implementation, call center management is more easily able to concentrate on coaching, training, and data-backed storytelling.
Moreover, with innovative customer experience platforms, AI analyzes data in personalized and customized ways that are specified for your industry, need, or even the time of the year (like Medicare OEP). AI helps you to understand your customers better, and you can tailor your services, your resources, and your agents to better fit their needs.
AI-powered data collection makes call centers more efficient, quick, and personalized. It ensures that healthcare call centers remain compliant and the common disruptions in the customer journey are more simply resolved through strategic decision-making.
Resolving Pain Points and Listening to Feedback
Quality customer service is key to the success of any industry, especially healthcare. It’s important to understand the customers’ needs and the challenges they face. And call center AI can help monitor customer calls, analyze the data, and provide strategic insights for better business decision-making.
Healthcare innovation is making it easier to create impact and close gaps. By collecting unsolicited feedback data (not survey-based data), call center agents can better resolve the issues customers face, reducing customer churn and maintaining retention. AI has the ability to listen at scale, taking in millions of data points to better understand and meet both customer and business outcomes.
AI helps assist customer service agents in understanding the unique needs of each customer, allowing them to use the time on call to listen and understand, rather than hitting KPIs and taking notes. With innovative models, algorithms, and tools such as shareable dashboards, real-time feedback, and automation, AI can provide managers and agents with the time to uncover opportunities to better serve customers. The value and ROI of AI in call centers is in the performance and efficiency improvements it provides.
