SimboPAS: The Best Answering Service for Missouri’s Progressive Hospitals and Practices

Introduction

Answering services are a crucial part of running a successful medical practice. From handling routine calls to triaging emergencies, having a reliable system in place can significantly enhance patient experience and practice efficiency. In Missouri, hospitals and practices face unique challenges, particularly in nurse staffing, with burnout among nurses increasing from 54% to 58.9% since the COVID-19 pandemic. This situation not only affects the personnel but also impacts patient outcomes, leading to a pressing need for effective communication solutions. In this blog, we will explore how SimboPAS, our AI-powered answering service, can revolutionize communication for hospitals and medical practices in Missouri.

What are the Current Options for Missouri Hospitals and Practices?

Most hospitals and practices in Missouri still rely on traditional human-based answering services, but they are often costly, inefficient, and prone to errors. The challenges extend to the nursing staff, with a reported 64.9% of medical-surgical nurses citing insufficient staffing levels before the pandemic, a figure that surged to 75% during that time. Other options, like automated systems, may lack the sophistication and flexibility needed to handle complex medical inquiries. However, these traditional services are about to become obsolete as AI technology, like SimboPAS, is transforming the industry.
