In an era dominated by digital experiences, it's astounding that a significant portion of healthcare customer service call centers rely heavily on dated technology. Specifically, a staggering 84% of these call centers continue to use interactive voice response (IVR) systems—a technology birthed in the 1960s! The glaring question is: Why do such vital components of the healthcare customer service industry remain tethered to antiquated systems?
This over-reliance on outdated tech underscores a pressing need. The healthcare customer service sector must modernize its technological infrastructure. Patients today demand swift, efficient, and modern interactions. By clinging to the past, we risk alienating them and compromising the quality of service.
However, the road to modernization isn't just about ditching old tech—it's about embracing new solutions that align with current regulatory landscapes. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) stands as a testament to the stringent regulations that call centers must navigate. Non-compliance isn't an option. It can lead to severe legal consequences, especially with serial plaintiffs on the prowl, targeting companies for TCPA breaches.
Given the rise of text marketing campaigns as a focal point of TCPA litigation, the call for robust, real-time compliance tools has never been louder. Enter solutions like the Litigator Scrub® offered by Contact Center Compliance. This trusted cloud-based mechanism shields call centers from potential TCPA litigators.
