4 Factors Detrimental to Seamless Customer Service Experience
1. Inefficient Appointment Scheduling Processes
Very often in a healthcare practice, there are more patients and only a handful of doctors available to see the patients, which can make scheduling appointments a major challenge. Long waiting times for appointments can get very stressful for patients. Also, when there is no self-help portal, patients have to spend a lot of time trying to connect to the healthcare practice to modify or cancel their appointments. There are numerous such challenges revolving around scheduling medical appointments that impact the patient experience.
2. Altercations Due to Operational Inefficiencies

3. Lack of Attention to Patients’ Needs
4. Inadequate Consultation Time
