Medical answering services have become an indispensable part of healthcare operations in North Carolina’s hospitals and practices. With the increasing volume of patient calls, healthcare facilities are grappling with significant challenges, including a projected shortage of nearly 12,500 registered nurses (RNs) and over 5,000 licensed practical nurses (LPNs) by 2033. These staffing shortages create an urgent need for efficient, reliable communication solutions. Traditional answering services are often plagued by high costs, limited accessibility, and inadequate security features, further complicating the operational landscape.
Hospitals and practices in North Carolina have plenty of options for answering services, yet most of these services remain human-based, leading to higher costs and limited scalability. In addition, many face challenges like managing high call volumes, ensuring HIPAA compliance, and providing bilingual services to cater to diverse populations. The need for a more efficient, cost-effective, and secure solution to improve both patient care and provider experience has never been more evident.

AI is transforming the healthcare industry, with North Carolina hospitals and practices adopting AI-powered solutions to remain competitive. For instance, the NC Nursecast model forecasts the state’s nursing workforce needs to better address staffing shortages. SimboPAS offers a patented next-gen voice conversational AI platform with a responsive user experience that integrates seamlessly into your operations. The conversational AI is designed to understand and respond to patient inquiries naturally, providing a human-like interaction that enhances the patient experience. As North Carolina faces a projected 11% RN shortfall and up to 18,000 RNs potentially exiting the workforce, investing in AI-driven solutions becomes not just beneficial but essential for maintaining quality patient care.
SimboPAS is not an experimental technology. It has been successfully used by hospitals and practices in the USA for over 18 months, demonstrating its reliability and effectiveness. During this period, SimboPAS has consistently delivered on its promise of improving operational efficiency and patient satisfaction. The technology has undergone rigorous testing and real-world applications, making it a mature, trusted solution for healthcare institutions. North Carolina hospitals and practices can be confident in adopting a solution that has a proven track record of success.
One standout feature of SimboPAS is its seamless integration with numerous Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems. With North Carolina hospitals anticipating substantial nursing shortages, integrating communication systems into EHR workflows becomes increasingly crucial. This ensures all patient communications are automatically logged into the EHR, providing a comprehensive record of patient interactions. The integration also streamlines administrative tasks, reducing the burden on staff and minimizing the risk of errors. As technology continues to evolve, SimboPAS is expanding compatibility with more EHR systems, ensuring that North Carolina hospitals and practices can benefit from a fully integrated and efficient workflow.
AI is revolutionizing the healthcare sector, and medical practices in North Carolina are keen to embrace this technology to stay competitive. By adopting AI-enhanced solutions like SimboPAS, these institutions can provide superior patient care while effectively reducing operational costs. The increasing demand for RNs in nursing homes and extended care facilities, fueled by an aging population, further underscores the importance of AI technologies that enhance decision-making processes, streamline workflows, and improve patient outcomes. As more hospitals and practices in North Carolina incorporate AI technology, the overall healthcare landscape in the state is poised to become more efficient and patient-centric.
