An article published by TechTarget titled “History and evolution of contact centers” discusses how, in the past few decades, traditional, phone-based call centers have evolved into complex, multifunctional, multichannel contact centers.
Advancements in voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) are a recent phenomenon; it refers to performing voice communication sessions over the internet, transmitted via data packs, unlike regular phone calls using traditional telephone signals. However, VoIP has evolved to integrate mobile data networks to enable seamless voice communication becoming an integral part of modern infrastructure.
The Role of AI in Healthcare Contact Centers
While call centers rely mostly on phones, contact centers involve an omnichannel approach, including phone, text, email, and live chat, and the latest addition is the use of artificial intelligence (AI).
AI is transforming healthcare contact centers by automating repetitive tasks and facilitating personalized interactions. AI offers immediate responses to patient inquiries, schedules appointments, and processes medication refills, freeing staff to focus on more complex cases.

Automated call routing: Unlike traditional contact centers where patients are subjected to longer wait times and must navigate endless menus, healow Genie automates call routing to ensure every call is answered immediately, with zero initial hold time. Plus, most callers get the answers they need quickly.
Intelligent Agent: Genie engages in two-way natural-language conversations with patients to show empathy, understanding, and care. As a result, patients are more likely to stay in touch, make their appointments, and remember to refill their medications.
AI to human agents: Genie’s AI Assistant helps patients manage appointments, pay bills, or request a referral or a medication refill. If a patient query requires a more in-depth answer or review and approval by a physician, Genie escalates the call to a staff member.
After-hours service: Genie helps patients connect to on-call providers to access professional medical services. It also makes complete patient records available to on-call providers, offering them a wealth of patient information. In fact, Genie goes a step further to produce transcripts and summaries of after-hours calls that are shared with the patient’s primary care provider for follow-up.
