OB-GYN clinics often get many patient calls every day. This can be hard for staff who book appointments, answer questions about billing, and follow up with patients. Because of this, patients might have to wait a long time on the phone. Some give up and hang up, which can make patients unhappy and affect the clinic’s income.
Companies like Assort Health have made AI systems that fit the needs of OB-GYN clinics. Their AI handles more than 10 million patient calls yearly and solves 90% of them by voice, text, or web. The AI works well with complex schedules and doctor availability to make booking easier.
In clinics using Assort’s AI, the average wait time on calls dropped by 89%, going from over 11 minutes to about 1 minute in a month. Also, calls dropped by 41% to just 8%, making patients happier by reducing frustration and missed care chances.
AI can handle over half the calls in clinics like those for orthopedics or dentistry. It works well in OB-GYN clinics too. By taking care of routine questions and appointments, AI frees staff to work on harder tasks. For instance, an orthopedic clinic saw a 59% drop in calls to humans and handled 165 calls a day with AI. OB-GYN clinics could get the same benefits, lowering the load on staff and cutting scheduling mistakes.
AI works best when it fits well with systems like Electronic Health Records (EHR) and Practice Management Systems (PMS). Greenway Health offers one platform that brings together EHR, patient management, financial tools, and data analytics. Their system runs on AWS cloud, keeping data safe and fast, which is important for OB-GYN patient information.
Greenway’s AI tool, Clinical Assist, helps providers by automating clinical notes. This lowers manual typing and makes records more accurate. With better notes, doctors can spend more time caring for patients. This is very important in OB-GYN because patient histories, lab results, medicines, and billing must be exact.
The AI also helps with online scheduling and digital registration using Greenway Patient Connect. This makes booking easier and helps build better communication between doctors and patients. Good communication is key in OB-GYN care, especially during pregnancy and women’s health visits.
Workflow automation mixes AI speed with human skills. It helps clinics handle many patient messages while keeping quality high. Assort Health’s AI works like a copilot. It collects detailed patient info, creates task-specific cases, and gives difficult cases to staff with clear notes. This keeps care smooth and organized.
In OB-GYN clinics, AI manages appointment booking, triage, common questions, prescription refills, lab results, billing inquiries, and payment help. AI also runs patient outreach by SMS, calls, and emails to remind patients about appointments, waitlists, and care instructions. These steps boost patient follow-up and clinic flow.
This system cuts down repetitive work for staff and lets them focus on cases needing clinical decisions or personal help, like emergencies, counseling, or tricky billing. One Patient Access Director said AI lowered staff work and sped up replies a lot in just three weeks.
OB-GYN clinics in the U.S. serve patients from many language backgrounds. AI systems like Assort’s support 14 languages and work all day, every day, all year. This means no patient calls or messages go unanswered, even outside normal clinic hours. This constant support helps patients who need urgent answers or reassurance after office times.
AI’s ability to speak many languages helps non-English-speaking patients without needing more bilingual staff. This is useful in places with many Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, or other language speakers. It makes care more fair and breaks down problems with language, scheduling, and long waits.
AI that is put in place fast makes operations run better and helps finances. Assort Health reports a 57% drop in call dropouts and AI managing over half of appointment bookings, sometimes hitting 159 new bookings daily. These changes stop lost income from missed appointments or patients dropping out during booking.
Cutting down work for staff lowers labor costs and boosts morale and productivity. Clinic leaders say AI-based call and booking systems let staff spend time on tasks that make money and need a personal touch.
Greenway Health’s financial tools help manage billing cycles and offer easy self-pay options. This makes patients happier with billing and helps clinics collect more money. Together, these tools help OB-GYN clinics keep running well, which is important for smaller clinics competing in busy markets.
People worry that new technology takes too long and interrupts work. Assort Health and Greenway Health offer AI systems that can be set up in about three weeks in OB-GYN clinics. Quick setup lowers downtime and helps staff accept the change by showing real improvements fast in calls, scheduling, and patient contact.
Healthcare leaders say this approach works well. For example, Kemuel Carey, CEO of Assort Health, said their AI cut hold times from 11 minutes to 1 minute and made appointment booking more exact. Dr. Pari Amin, CEO at another clinic, noticed smoother scheduling and happier patients in just three weeks without delays.
AI in OB-GYN settings needs to fit each clinic’s ways of working, rules, and local patient needs. Assort Health made over 1.1 million workflows to match different providers, specialties, and places. This helps handle patient tasks right and follow health privacy laws like HIPAA.
By linking with existing EHR and PMS, AI supports work without causing problems. It hands off tricky cases well, records patient info accurately, and talks with backend systems fast. This focus on fitting well makes AI easy to use and useful for practices of many sizes.
OB-GYN clinic managers and IT heads in the U.S. have a chance to update office work and improve patient care with AI. Fast AI setups for scheduling and patient engagement within existing systems can cut call wait times, lower hang-ups, and raise appointment numbers.
Using multilingual, 24/7 support and exact workflow automation helps clinics solve common communication problems in women’s health clinics. Financial tools for billing and payments also help make operations more steady and efficient.
As healthcare needs grow and become more complex, using AI that is quick to set up and well linked with systems helps OB-GYN clinics provide timely patient care while handling office work better. Clinics that have used these AI systems report clear benefits and show that AI tools fit well in busy outpatient clinics.
Assort Health’s AI platform improves appointment scheduling by accurately navigating scheduling algorithms tailored to OB-GYN practices. It reduces hold times significantly, from over 11 minutes to just over 1 minute, enabling faster and more precise appointment bookings, thus enhancing patient satisfaction and operational efficiency.
