It is not your imagination. Ask anyone in any industry sector, and they will tell you that their consumers have higher expectations than they did pre-COVID. In healthcare, this means patients have higher expectations in everything from scheduling to their tolerance for appointment wait times to preferred communication channels.
While every industry is experiencing this trend, it is exacerbated in healthcare because of some other troubling trends.
According to some studies, there will be a shortfall of over 100,000 physicians in the next ten years. In addition, the demand for registered nurses is expected to increase by 9% in the same time frame. This shortage of professional staff is just a precursor of continued customer service challenges.
To complicate matters even more, healthcare is unique in that it sits at an intersection of three major sectors: Healthcare providers, insurance, and pharmaceuticals.
So whether a patient has issues with insurance, their prescriptions, or the date for a procedure, there’s a good chance that the front office team will be expected to interact with a patient who is frustrated, confused, or scared.
Many healthcare providers who felt they were doing an excellent job pre-Covid now question whether they have what it takes to provide the level of customer service that their post-Covid patients demand. It is a new era of healthcare customer service.
