Phreesia launches VoiceAI, an AI-driven
phone system enabling 24/7 healthcare call management, reducing wait times and
improving patient experience.
Wilmington,
Delaware: Phreesia, a
leading patient activation company, has unveiled Phreesia VoiceAI, an
artificial intelligence-driven phone solution tailored for healthcare
organizations to efficiently manage patient calls.
The system leverages natural language
processing to accurately interpret patient requests and route them
appropriately, eliminating the need for traditional phone trees. VoiceAI is
capable of handling multiple calls simultaneously, reducing wait times, directing
urgent requests to on-call physicians, and documenting routine inquiries for
follow-up.
Designed to address common healthcare
call types, including appointment scheduling, prescription refills, clinical
questions, and medical records requests, VoiceAI operates 24/7 to ensure
seamless patient engagement.
Sumer Allen, Business Intelligence
Services Manager at Urology Associates of Mobile, reported that since
implementing the system, their call abandonment rate "has dropped to
zero," with patients valuing quicker callbacks and minimal wait times.
Phreesia CEO Chaim Indig
described VoiceAI as "the next big milestone" for the company
and "a logical extension" of their platform, applying AI
technology to phone systems, which he called "one of the most
resource-intensive parts of the practice."
The company highlighted that its
platform facilitated approximately 170 million patient visits in 2024, covering
roughly one in seven healthcare visits in the United States.
According to TechSci
Research, the
launch of Phreesia’s VoiceAI is poised to significantly benefit the healthcare
industry by enhancing operational efficiency and patient experience. By
leveraging AI and natural language processing, the system can accurately
interpret patient requests, handle multiple calls simultaneously, and route
urgent inquiries to the appropriate healthcare professionals. This reduces wait
times, minimizes call abandonment, and ensures that routine requests are
properly documented for follow-up, allowing staff to focus on clinical care
rather than administrative tasks. Additionally, 24/7 availability ensures
continuous patient support, improving accessibility and satisfaction. By
streamlining common processes such as appointment scheduling, prescription
refills, and medical records requests, healthcare organizations can optimize
resource utilization, reduce operational bottlenecks, and enhance overall
service quality. Overall, VoiceAI represents a strategic advancement in
applying AI technology to improve efficiency, patient engagement, and care delivery
within healthcare settings.
