Branded Calling for Healthcare

Patients are reluctant to pick up a call from an unidentified caller, much less discuss their personal healthcare information with them. They require a more personal connection to feel secure with their healthcare providers. Branded Communication ensures patients feel cared for and protected by safely connecting both parties when it matters most.

Branded Communication Case Study

A Prescription for Better Results

Why Healthcare Providers Need Branded Communication

Healthcare is a private and often sensitive subject. It can also be very stressful. Patients want to feel confident in the phone call, especially when it relates to urgent matters, such as appointments, prescriptions, and test results. Branded communication delivers confidence in every call.

Delivery timely alerts and reminders

Time-sensitive is delivered quickly and painlessly, helping your patients get the information they need.

Patients Really Need Your Call …

But They Don’t Know It’s You

When it comes to the care of their patients and handling their private information, healthcare providers have more to worry about. When connecting and communicating with their provider, patients prefer a good ol’ phone call over SMS and other methods.

The problem with that? Unless the provider’s numbers are all in the patient’s contact list, all they see on phone screen is an Unknown Caller. And you know what that means: you wasted a call, plus the patient doesn’t get the info they need for their care.

That means no matter how well intentioned your calling program is — scheduling, reminders, follow-ups, or account services — they don’t pick up your calls. (And leaving a message requires a signed release!) Worse, they don’t answer even when they requested and are expecting a callback, such as a response to an referral inquiry, an online care/product or other inquiry!

“We were talking with our CEO and showed him a branded call experience from First Orion, and everybody on the executive leadership team thought it was awesome. It just clicked with them that we need this because nobody picks up the phone anymore if they don’t know who’s calling.”

“If someone misses their delivery, it costs ups $100 to revisit your house to redeliver an appliance.” We do from 5 to 8 million appliance deliveries a year, so these numbers are significant.”
