“IVR systems are very robotic, just not effective. With Call Sara, we have almost freed our nurses and MAs from handling any calls. Now they attend when Call Sara triages. We hire fewer people because of them.”

The Challenge

High Call Volume. Low Efficiency.

Before Call Sara, more than 50% of staff time was spent handling routine inbound and outbound calls. With growing patient volume and limited resources, the team was overwhelmed.

The Call Sara Approach

We partnered with the client to build a scalable automation strategy

Step 1

Baseline Assessment

We analyzed 15K+ calls and 500+ hours of audio, revealing a 3.8/5 sentiment score, 30% unanswered calls, and $10K–$15K per month lost to repetitive tasks

Step 2

Use Case Development

We defined KPIs with the client around call success rates, appointment confirmations, and staff time saved. We integrated with ECW and 3CX to automate updates in real time

Step 3

Pilot Implementation

AI agents automated 30K+ outbound calls, confirmed 8K+ appointments at 52% success, kept cancellations under 3%, saved 150+ staff hours weekly. Sentiment score went up to 4.8/5
