How Kore.ai IVAs can improve access to care and relieve clinician burdens

Automated patient outreach
Bots built on the Kore.ai platform can save hospitals potentially millions of dollar each year in labor and other costs. For example, a single missed appointment can cost healthcare providers an average of $200.
Our chatbots can provide smart appointment bookings and reminders. This helps your organization by analyzing patient behaviour and history to predict no-shows before they happen. Kore.ai bots can even be used to automate routine tasks such as providing and confirming referrals, performing patient satisfaction surveys, helping customers book appointments and follow-ups, and paying bills. Chatbots can also be used to verify important information such as insurance coverage and current symptoms.

Patient engagement and lead generation
Hospitals and clinics can use chatbots to increase brand awareness by engaging customers in the digital channels they frequent most. Chatbots can be used, for example, to provide symptom questionnaires
to prospective patients. The bot could then deliver personalized information to the prospect based on their response while inviting the individual to come in for treatment or a general checkup. Educating prospects, generating new leads, and setting up appointments could thus occur within the same conversation.

Prescription drug information
The average patient spends a significant amount of time online researching the medication they’ve been prescribed. Chatbots built on the Kore.ai platform are used by pharmacies across the world to answer
common medication questions such as composition, drug interactions, recommended dosages, side-effects, differences between generic and name-brand, and more. They can even be used as an inexpensive and unique networking tool for both pharmacies and manufacturers on websites, apps, and other digital channels.

Billing and registration
Hospitals and clinics can use our platform to integrate with backend billing, inventory, and insurance claims management systems. This integration allows healthcare providers to quickly and easily generate
invoices for payments and allows patients to more easily interact with your billing department. Health insurance providers, likewise, deploy our bots to answer common questions related to coverage, claims, and procedures – freeing up agents to focus on more difficult cases and more productive work.

Medical equipment support
Not all questions are related to symptoms or drug interactions. Patients often need information related to the medical equipment they need to get healthy. For example, they often need to know where to get their
wheelchair serviced, or where to source new oxygen cylinders from. Hospitals and clinics can learn from the questions patients ask bots so that they can start to provide that information at the point-of-care, instead of forcing patients to search for the information later.

Patient reminders
Patient compliance and medication adherence is an ongoing struggle for healthcare providers. Kore.ai healthcare bots can send patients reminders when they need to take their medication or perform
exercises, such as in the case of physical therapy. Our bots can also be used to send patients reminders that their prescription needs to be refilled, that they are due for a routine checkup, and for other health-related issues.
