| MEDICAL
& DENTAL APPLICATIONS
Medical and Dental Practitioners
agree that your patient base and the referrals it generates, are the
keys to practice growth. Surveys point out that patients choose a
practice as often because of the "way they are treated"
as they do for the "treatment received". Your telephone
is an important instrument in maintaining your patient base and adding
new patients.
We're not suggesting you purposely put your callers on hold any longer
than is necessary, but independent studies show that 70% of all medical
and dental practice callers are put on "hold", usually for
thirty seconds or longer. Many of these callers will hang up, frustrated
at having been left hanging in "limbo". This can result
in a substantial loss of patient good will, not to mention potential
revenue. On-Hold Programming can reduce your caller abandonment rate
up to 75%, by capturing your caller's attention with useful and interesting
information. Additionally, 88% of callers surveyed preferred listening
to information while on "hold" than to silence or music
alone. Because of its proven effectiveness as a communications
medium, many pharmaceutical and medical and/or dental product manufacturers
are providing
patient education grants to practices utilizing our program.
On-Hold Programming allows you to make sure that you are delivering
a consistent,
quality image of your practice. Any time your callers are placed on
"hold", we will be working with you to enhance your image
and improve patient relations.
