Meet Our Hero
Wesley Ralston,
Director of Clinical Informatics
With a commitment to "radical convenience" for patients, Wesley knew something
had to change in their scheduling process.
The Villains (AKA "The Scheduling Nightmares"):
Lengthy onboarding for patient coordinators (4-6 months)
Inconsistent documentation across different staff members
Lost patient requests and unreasonable callback times
Limited visibility into real-time operations
Wesley's Eureka Moment: The Power of Self-Scheduling
Armed with our magical formula and Keona Health's CareDesk, Wesley set out to
transform VWC's scheduling landscape.
The Epic Quest:
Ensuring Accuracy: Wes implemented a healthcare CRM to encapsulate the
logic of their scheduling system directly into their practice management (PM)
system. This reduced errors and allowed call center agents to get up to speed
quickly and accurately. The system was then extended to patients, ensuring
that self-scheduling was equally accurate and ef cient.
