Summary
Springfield Clinic faced inefficiencies in its contact center operations due to outdated phone systems, impacting both staff workflow and patient experiences across its 90 locations. Transitioning to a cloud-based platform with Cisco's Webex Contact Center allowed for improved management of call volumes, reducing average wait times by 71% and call abandonment rates by 44%. This modernization not only enhanced business continuity and centralized data reporting but also mitigated employee burnout, ultimately enabling better patient care. The case underscores the critical importance of technology integration in addressing operational challenges within healthcare settings.
