Intelligent Call Routing
Route calls by specialty, provider availability, and patient needs with dynamic logic.
Healthcare CX Modernization
Transform Patient Access and Scheduling Operations
Many healthcare organizations handle appointment scheduling and referral intake with fragmented phone trees, manual transfers, and disconnected systems that frustrate patients and staff. IVI modernizes patient access operations using Amazon Connect, AI-enabled self-service, workflow automation, and co-managed operations through Aegis CX.
Cloud-native patient access solutions designed for healthcare workflows and operational excellence.
Healthcare-Focused Approach
Modernize patient access as an operational workflow, not just a phone system
IVI focuses on how patients actually request care, how appointments are scheduled or changed, how referrals are routed, and how staff interact with systems during those processes.
Legacy Patient Access Challenges
Healthcare organizations struggle with fragmented phone trees, manual transfers, and disconnected systems that create poor patient experiences and staff burnout.
Long hold times for scheduling and rescheduling
Inconsistent call routing by specialty or provider
Poor visibility into abandonment and transfer rates
Limited automation for routine appointment changes
Referral bottlenecks between departments
Lack of actionable insight into patient demand patterns
Amazon Connect-Based Patient Access Platform
Using Amazon Connect as the core platform, we design patient access environments that support intelligent call routing, self-service for common scheduling tasks, guided agent experiences, and integration with business and clinical systems.
Self-Service Automation
Enable patients to schedule, reschedule, and confirm appointments without agent intervention.
EHR Integration
Connect scheduling workflows directly to practice management and clinical systems.
Four-Phase Modernization Process
Structured approach to transforming patient access operations with controlled risk and measurable outcomes.
1
Discovery and Workflow Assessment
Assess current scheduling, referral, and patient access workflows across specialties, offices, and call queues.
2
Experience and Solution Design
Design future-state patient access workflow including call routing, self-service use cases, and integration architecture.
3
Phased Deployment
Deploy in controlled stages, beginning with lower-risk call flows and scheduling queues before broader rollout.
4
Operational Transition
Support the environment through Aegis CX with monitoring, optimization, and ongoing workflow improvements.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about patient access and scheduling center modernization.
Can this integrate with our EHR or scheduling platform?
Yes. IVI designs around the systems that drive real scheduling operations. Integration scope depends on the platform and the workflows you want to support, but we have experience with most major healthcare systems.
Is this only for large health systems?
No. This solution fits mid-sized specialty groups and multi-location practices as well as larger health systems. The approach scales to match your organization's size and complexity.
Can patients reschedule without speaking to an agent?
In many cases, yes. We can design self-service workflows for common scheduling and rescheduling use cases while escalating more complex scenarios to live staff. The level of automation depends on your specific workflows and patient population.
How do you handle referral-heavy specialties?
We design workflows around referral intake, triage, and specialty-specific routing rather than treating all scheduling calls the same. This includes provider availability logic, specialty requirements, and referral documentation workflows.
What happens after implementation?
IVI continues to support and optimize the environment through Aegis CX, including monitoring, changes, reporting updates, workflow refinement, and lifecycle support. This ensures sustained operational performance beyond go-live.
How long does implementation typically take?
Implementation timelines vary based on complexity and integration requirements, but most deployments follow a phased approach over 3-6 months. We start with lower-risk call flows to validate the approach before broader rollout.
