The fragmented nature of healthcare delivery has historically resulted in complex and convoluted communication between NHS organisations, healthcare professionals and the populations they serve. Delivering integrated care requires coordinated communications that allow better access to information, provide clear navigation of services and enable more effective patient management.
Arden & GEM’s Universal Contact Centre solution creates seamless connections through innovative technology, compassionate service and a dedicated team of experienced NHS practitioners. Our support enables health systems to improve access to healthcare services, enhance patient experience and optimise the efficiency of healthcare delivery. Our Universal Contact Centre can provide a centralised point of contact for patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals - supporting the effective management of enquiries, appointments, referrals, information requests and enabling the effective direction of patients to the most appropriate services. We deliver an efficient interface between your population and health system that ensures timely access to services while relieving pressure in challenging areas such as emergency care.
We strive to be the beating heart of communication, fostering meaningful relationships between health systems and their populations, while championing inclusivity and efficiency in every interaction that can improve population health.
Our Universal Contact Centres use a tried and tested four stage approach to delivering support that meets your individual requirements (Discovery – Co-design – Deliver/Embed – Sustain). Our solutions provide:
- Contact centre support: Multichannel communication approaches for seamless access
- Multidisciplinary teams / skills based routing: Trained, dedicated, motivated and skilled staff with efficient and effective triage and urgent care support
- Integrated Care System appointment booking: Centralised appointment management through dedicated online platform access with real time provider availability and scheduling
- Triage services: Smooth and effective triage though clinical decision support, access to electronic health records and referral management that ensures clear pathway processing.
