Improve Healthcare Services with Live Chat for Your Website

Live chat software has become one of the most popular methods of communication due to its instant nature. It holds many benefits for those enquiring as well as the organisation that has implemented the communication channel. This article will take a look at these benefits alongside real-life examples of how live chat for your website works within a range of healthcare companies.

There is an immediate pressure for healthcare organisations to streamline their resources whilst mitigating their budget restraints. Therefore many of these companies are implementing live chat as it provides a way to support less confident visitors online whilst ensuring costs are minimised, a high standard of customer service is maintained and data is securely processed and stored.

Customer satisfaction increases with live chat for your website as enquirers are able to receive an instant answer in real time. There are no lengthy waiting times as individuals would experience in a phone queue or for an email response. The visitor is connected directly to a representative who can advise straightaway via text-based messages.

Live Chat within GP Surgeries

GP surgeries such as Lea Vale Medical Group have improved access to patients by implementing live chat onto their website and in particular their booking procedures that allow patients to arrange appointments via the instant communication channel.

“Great Service! This is a service that was easy to implement with great support provided. From the first weeks of use it has started to make a difference to the patient care we provide.” – Business Support Assistant, Lea Vale.

NHS Vale of York has procured live chat on behalf of their GP member Priory Medical Group, who has also implemented the communication channel into their online booking process.

“Really impressed with the product and its simplicity to use. The support has been fantastic and when I have needed assistance or queries answering, I have benefitted from people who take ownership and follow up personally. I look forward to a longstanding business partnership.” Contact Centre Manager, NHS Vale of York.

Live Chat within Dental Organisations

Dental practices including Rusthall Dental Practice implemented live chat to help online visitors gain advice regarding becoming a new patient, booking appointments including emergencies, treatment, payment plans, and general information.

Live chat has also been integrated in private dental care specialists, such as Simplyhealth Professionals, who provide advice to individuals allowing them to gain accurate information and make informed decisions about their oral health.

Live chat within the NHS

Click4Assistance works with various NHS organisations who have implemented live chat into different operational areas based on their requirements.

Cheshire and Wirral Partnership (CWP) NHS Foundation Trust introduced live chat to hold scheduled evenings, offering 1-to-1 sessions for young people to gain advice on sexual, mental and general health.

“Our account manager was very supportive and extremely helpful with the use of the software. She has been flexible on her approach to this support in offering training remotely for staff via tele-conference. Many thanks for all your support.” Programme Manager: Starting Well, CWP NHS
