What senior teams should quantify
Before you shortlist, get numbers on these — they're where healthcare contact centres see (or miss) return:
- Containment / deflection — % of contacts resolved without a human (leaders hit 70%+ on routine flows).
- Average handle time — overlays commonly cut AHT 15–30% in the first weeks.
- First-contact resolution & CSAT — agent assist lifts CSAT ~31% for most adopters (Metrigy).
- Cost per contact — self-service runs a fraction of a human-assisted interaction.
- Time to value — overlays land in weeks; a platform migration is 6–12 months.
