What are Healthcare Automation Solutions?

Healthcare automation is the strategic use of software to create repeatable, cross-channel capabilities in support of common tasks within business and consumer journeys across the health sector.

Automation enables better customer experiences, ensures data integrity and timely data capture, and augments live interactions for cost savings and reduction of staff burden.

Healthcare automation can provide support across the health ecosystem from patients, members, employees, physicians, pharmacists, clinical teams, employer groups, brokers and consultants, payers, and more.

Features of Ushur's CXA Platform for Healthcare

HIPAA-secure

Enable healthcare companies to have two-way conversations in a secure channel. Invisible App™, Invisible Portal™ and SmartMail give companies and patients secure channels to make data pulls and pushes of PHI and PII in a HIPAA-secure platform. Now members and patients can opt-in for appointment reminders, reschedule their appointments and quickly interact with member or patient services from any device.

Omni-channel platform

Omni-channel patient engagement policies require the ability for patients to self-service over any channel. AcrossFrom an IVR, to SMS, WhatsApp, chatbots, and more, patient experiences require accurate information and flexible conversations. Ushur gives healthcare companies flexibility and patients the opportunity to engage with them in their preferred channel.

No-code platform

Our true no-code drag and drop builder enables IT teams to give non-technical users the tools to quickly build and deploy automation solutions. Repetitive tasks that consume the time and effort of critical personas who could otherwise focus on improving patient experiences can be automated–allowing workers to focus on providing elevated customer experiences. Ushur lowers the total cost of ownership and cuts the time to value for any automation project.

Ease of integration

Fully automating processes in the healthcare ecosystem requires a platform that can integrate with front and back-end systems for both pushing and pulling data. Critical systems (like CRM, EMR/EHR, dispensing, claims, and more) represent significant investments by healthcare companies. Thanks to the Ushur platform’s integration capabilities and API-driven design, healthcare companies can automate any healthcare process with a platform that sits on top of your existing infrastructure–adding automation and intelligence between your customer and backend data stores.

Speed to value

Go-live in weeks, not months or years. The Ushur No Code builder, paired with Ushur’s unparalleled implementation team, enables healthcare companies to go live in a matter of weeks. For more rapid implementations needed urgently, Ushur has prepackaged solutions with workflows pre-built to get healthcare companies up and running as quickly as possible. See a quicker time to value that can be measured in months, not years.

Low total cost of ownership

Lower the total cost of ownership by expanding the teams and personas who are capable of building automation solutions. Customer and patient experiences that can be built and designed by more than IT teams alone are cheaper to create and maintain, and save on expenses associated with finding developer resources and AI experts. The no-code flowbuilder and pre-built capabilities within the platform increase efficiency and make expansion projects simple.

Omnichannel user experience

Improve patient and customer experiences with mobile-optimized omni-channel user experience (UX). Modern UX has quickly become the base standard for all customer-facing applications, but is difficult to build, optimize, and support for all channels (sms, email, voice, chatbot, etc.) without deep technical expertise. Ushur customer experiences are a build-once and deploy-everywhere solution so patients can text message or call a healthcare company, and they can support those channels efficiently.

Health insurance prospecting

Differentiate your customer and patient experience in prospecting efforts with the highest quality and easiest-to-build health insurance claims process possible. Health insurance companies need to build, update, and refine their claims processes so companies can build loyalty as the carriers their customers trust most. Use the Ushur CXA platform to be easier to do business with.

Ushur Invisible App™ and Ushur Invisible Portal deliver HIPAA-secure channels for healthcare companies to push and pull information and documentation. Invisible App delivers all of the capabilities of a smartphone’s native mobile app, but without the complexity of doing mobile app development, and without a customer needing to download and upkeep an app. As a result, Invisible App™ makes it easy to deliver information to customers as well as launch responsive surveys which can be used to better understand populations, and offer support and education based on answers provided. Data, and even documents, can be collected, then pushed into back-end systems. They can even be sent to clinical teams for immediate follow up.

Ushur’s approach to experience automation delivers live, two-way interactions with HIPAA-secure digital self-service support. Information can be pushed or pulled to proactively educate and deliver support, and members, patients and even business customers can reach into a healthcare organization through Ushur for service and support they need. Ushur can even serve as a bridge between existing portals and apps to get people to the exact information they’re looking for.

Ushur enables healthcare companies to quickly and easily launch customer communications via omnichannel digital self-service to support education and awareness, and securely gather information (including documentation) along the way.
