Connecting People to Healthcare
The Retention Experience

The Retention Experience

Savvy marketers know that it is far cheaper to retain an existing customer than acquire a new one. In healthcare, this involves a complex mix of providing high-quality clinical care with excellent customer service before, during and after the visit. Beryl’s Retention Services help you improve patient loyalty and post-visit customer satisfaction.

Beryl helps you analyze your outbound calling to:

• Create campaigns for customer and physician retention
• Track and measure consumer satisfaction with clinical services and visits
• Analyze return on investment

Improving Care

Disease Management Calls
Patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes or congestive heart failure benefit from consistent disease management programs. Yet, it is often difficult to dedicate a resource to disease management. Beryl now makes this process simple. On a pre-determined basis, Beryl’s calls your patients and takes them through a simple process to determine how they are doing. Beryl has a set of disease-specific questionnaires that can be customized for your organization. Examples of these include diabetes, congestive heart failure and respiratory conditions. Patients who have received care calls are more likely to return to your institution than other patients.

Improving the Customer Experience
Discharge care calls often uncover opportunities to engage people in additional hospital activities, including cross-selling other profitable programs and service lines. For example, diabetics could be directed to a self-monitoring program while new mothers could be enrolled into a mother/child exercise program. These targeted programs can help you affordably retain the customers you want.

Event Follow-Up Calls
After people attend events sponsored by your organization is an excellent time to engage them again. Through
this event follow-up call, targeted customers are invited to join appropriate additional activities that showcase
your resources and capabilities.

Customer Satisfaction Calls
These carefully scripted customized calls are designed to get a quick read on the effectiveness of customer service delivered within a specific service or department. These are immediately actionable for making mid-course adjustments, or enhancing processes and procedures.

Benefits of discharge calling include:

• Free up clinical resources
• Measure/Track quality of patient experience
• Cross-sell profitable services
• Enroll people in new hospital or member programs
• Drive consumer loyalty and referrals
• Support CRM strategies
• Avoid costly re-admissions
• Improve compliance in disease management
