For the healthcare industry, the needs of patients as consumers have become an increasing focus of practitioners and administrators alike. In a recent study, 59% of patients said they wanted their healthcare experience to mirror that of a positive retail experience. And in a significant measure, 8 in 10 patients say customer service is the second most decisive factor (after quality of care) in determining their loyalty to a healthcare provider. For Ascension, listening to patients and their families while improving their experiences are key to enhancing tailored access to patients, earning patient loyalty, improving system design, and providing care to more patients.
Khoros Teams Up with Jetson to Streamline Customer Service
Customer engagement platform provider Khoros is embarking on an expanded partnership with Jetson, the Swedish maker of e-bikes, e-scooters, and other e-mobility products, to offer a streamlined service across social, chat, email, and voice on one platform. With the agreement, Jetson completes its omnichannel customer service vision by using the Khoros platform for its digital contact center, offering digital and voice channel orchestration along with out-of-the-box reporting within one agent desktop interface.
The partnership began with Khoros leveraging its solutions for digital contact centers and social media management at Jetson. Since then, Jetson has added voice, via Amazon Connect, to its mix of support channels for a true omnichannel experience for customers and agents. With partnership from VoiceFoundry, a TTEC Digital business specializing in the delivery of cloud-based enterprise contact center solutions, Khoros implemented voice capabilities into Jetson’s existing workflows in less than four weeks. Jetson also selected Khoros for its purpose-built platform for omnichannel customer engagement, unifying its digital and voice support channels in a “single pane of glass” interface.
Through the partnership, Jetson has supported 200,000 customer service interactions via digital channels and voice in the Khoros platform. With Khoros’ data and analytics capabilities, Jetson is now able to report comprehensively on agent efficiency, activity, and real-time conversation analysis of both agents and managers for in-depth insights into service quality and customer satisfaction issues.
