Compassion, Empathy and Caller Control Services

When we are answering after-hour calls for hospice facilities, hospitals or local physician offices, our agents know how important it is to be empathetic and compassionate to callers’ needs. As a medical answering service, we are trusted with our medical clients’ patients; a role we take very seriously.

Our medical answering service unit understands that often times your patients are calling after-hours with medical emergencies and some are in intense pain. We provide friendly and sympathetic medical virtual receptionists that are trained in caller control to help relieve the callers as fast as possible.

Whether we are taking down a medical emergency message or dispatching a call directly to your nurse’s station or on-call doctors’ list, speed is essential and compassion is a necessity.

Trained in Medical Terms, Abbreviations and Popular Names

As communication experts, our medical answering service needs to be fluent in specific terms so we can assist both medical staff and the calling patients. Our medical virtual receptionists are put through extensive training to learn and spell frequently used medical terms. We find that the hospitals and doctor’s offices we answer for appreciate the lengths we go to when training our staff to answer their lines.

Our medical training program also touches the most popular, and most difficult to spell, doctor and physician names. We want to be certain that the message we take from your calling patients reaches the correct personnel and as such, our agents memorize and learn how to spell difficult surnames. Before dispatching the after-hours message or inquiry, we take the time to confirm the message and all caller contact information to minimize any confusion down the line.
