How can I make phone reservations even more efficient?

Introduction

Is it not efficient enough to make reservations over the phone? Is requesting data by phone not fast enough and causing a lot of problems for the reception? Human touch and innovative technology are the solution.

One of the biggest dilemmas of professionals managing Hungarian private clinics is that telephone contact with patients suffers from countless shortcomings. Telephone reservations make the work of receptionists more difficult.

Lengthy reconciliation of the data is complicated, and it often happens that the data is recorded incorrectly. Choosing the right time can take more time, which can waste a lot of useful time for both patients and private clinic staff. These problems can lead to customer dissatisfaction.
