In healthcare, a traditional call center experience can feel much like calling a cable company—detached, dull, frustrating. Personalized engagement is critical to the future of healthcare, but call center agents are often not given the tools to meet consumer expectations. Agents may be limited to a basic set of functions with minimal insights on patient journeys.

The majority of consumers are open to telehealth and adoption of telehealth continues to grow. This new consumer survey report highlights the unique opportunities for telehealth within different age demographics. As health systems continue to introduce telehealth programs, it is essential for these organizations to understand where consumers see value in telehealth—and where they don’t—to maximize its worth and impact.
Harris Poll conducted an online study among more than 2,000 adults to measure usage and sentiments toward telehealth. The results are weighted to be representative of the American adult population across standard demographics.
Here’s what they found: • 66% of consumers are willing to use telehealth, and 8% have tried it
• How consumers want to use telehealth varies greatly by age
• Millennials want telehealth to address growing mental healthcare issues
• Older populations want telehealth for prescription renewals, chronic care management
• Middle-aged consumers are most willing to use telehealth for urgent care
• Two-thirds of consumers use personal health monitoring devices

CHI St. Anthony was a rural Oregon hospital looking for a better way to balance patient care initiatives with limited clinical and operational resources. With approximately half of its daily patient load being more appropriate for lower acuity settings, leadership realized that collaborating care for these patients was the key to opening up the emergency department (ED) for those who needed it most.
Using real-time analytics and smart notifications provided by Collective Medical, CHI. St. Anthony was able to identify and manage complex patients with histories of high utilization, social determinants of health, substance use disorder, and other risk factors. This helped staff not only address the root causes of high ED utilization but also increase collaboration with other hospitals, clinics, and primary care providers, resulting in:
A 75 percent reduction in unnecessary ED visits within 18 months
A reduction in LWBS rates from 6 percent to 2 percent
A 60 percent reduction in narcotic prepack prescriptions for $200K in hospital cost savings
