Appointment bookings, inquiries and confirmation calls before tests, outpatient visits and surgery add to the repetitive workload of administrative staff.
Inquiries outside opening hours
Inquiries continue at night and on weekends, but an immediate response is difficult when support staff are unavailable.
Different preparation for each patient
Preparation, arrival times and the need for an accompanying caregiver vary by test or procedure, requiring guidance tailored to each patient.
Cost inquiries that depend on individual conditions
Costs vary by coverage, non-covered services and insurance conditions, so explanations must follow information confirmed by the hospital.
Missed visits and follow-up care
Follow-up contact is needed throughout the patient journey, from rescheduling missed appointments to post-operative guidance and regular checkups.
Identity verification and staff handoff
Appointment and document requests require identity verification. Inquiries requiring individual confirmation belong with support staff, while medical judgments belong with healthcare professionals.
Healthcare AI
Patient support at every step
Configure AI support around hospital workflows, from patient inquiries to appointment confirmation and pre-visit guidance.
01
From identity verification to appointment booking
After verifying their identity, patients can book and check test or outpatient appointments. The service helps register new patients and checks the requested service and preferred time against the hospital schedule.
02
Confirmation calls before tests, visits and surgery
AI calls at times set by the hospital to confirm appointment details and the patient's intention to attend. It explains preparation, arrival times and caregiver requirements according to hospital guidance, and records test and outpatient confirmation results in the CRM to support follow-up.
03
Care-related inquiries and hospital information
The hospital knowledge base supports answers to recurring care-related inquiries. Information covers precautions before and after tests or surgery, procedures, symptoms, pain and side effects; diagnosis and individual medical judgments remain with healthcare professionals. Location, parking, opening hours, medical staff and estimated costs based on non-covered fees and insurance coverage also follow hospital guidance.
04
Guidance on certificates and document requests
Support covers identity verification, request submission and collection guidance for medical certificates, prescriptions, visit confirmations and medical opinion letters. Integration with document issuance systems is defined according to hospital procedures.
05
AI responses and handoff to support staff
AI provides information and handles appointment booking and confirmation. Requests to change or cancel appointments, or speak with a person, are passed to support staff. Outside opening hours, requests are recorded and callers are advised to expect a callback when the support team is available again.
06
Patient requests, feedback and follow-up
Administrative requests such as document applications, patient complaints and suggestions (VOC), and unanswered after-hours inquiries are logged as QnA items. Request details and contact information help staff review, process and follow up.
Healthcare Scenarios
How AI responds to patient inquiries
01
Care-related inquiry
Dental care · Aftercare following wisdom tooth extraction
Patient
I had a wisdom tooth removed. Can I rinse my mouth with water?
AI voicebot / chatbot
How long has it been since the extraction?
Patient
It was removed this morning.
AI voicebot / chatbot
Do not rinse your mouth or spit during the first 24 hours after extraction. This could dislodge the blood clot that protects the extraction site. If your dental clinic gave you specific instructions, please follow them.
02
Appointment change
After hours · Recording a change request
Patient
I'd like to change my appointment date.
AI voicebot / chatbot
Our support team is currently unavailable, so I'll record your request. Please tell me your existing appointment and your preferred new date and time.
Patient
I'd like to move my Tuesday afternoon appointment to Thursday morning.
AI voicebot / chatbot
Your request has been recorded. When the support team is available again, they will check appointment availability and contact you. The appointment change has not yet been confirmed.
During opening hours, callers are connected to appointment staff.
03
Document request
Recording the request for staff review
Patient
I'd like to request a confirmation of my hospital visit.
AI voicebot / chatbot
Which visit date do you need the confirmation for? Please also tell me how you'd like to receive it.
Patient
It's for my visit last week, and I'd like to collect it in person.
AI voicebot / chatbot
Your request for in-person collection has been recorded. A staff member will check the issuance process and collection availability, then provide further guidance.
These conversations have been adapted for illustration, and some steps such as identity verification are omitted. Actual guidance and procedures follow hospital policies. Diagnosis and individual medical judgments remain with healthcare professionals.
Expected Benefits
Reduce repetitive work and focus on patients
01
Ease the burden of repetitive inquiries
AI helps handle appointment inquiries and confirmation calls to reduce repetitive work and labor costs, allowing administrative staff to focus on scheduling and individual consultations.
02
Stay connected beyond opening hours
Patients can leave inquiries outside opening hours, and hospitals can review them and continue support when the support team is available again.
03
Help patients prepare for their visits
Hospital-approved guidance helps reduce conflicting information and enables patients to understand and prepare what they need before their visit.
04
Plan follow-up care
Organizing follow-up contacts and topics helps staff continue rescheduling and post-visit guidance, with the aim of improving scheduling and the patient experience.
Healthcare Security
Standards for support that handles patient information
Design support to protect patient information and give staff the information they need to continue the conversation.
Identity verification and consent
Appointment and document workflows guide patients through identity verification and consent to personal information collection and use. Verification methods such as mobile authentication or a simple PIN, and consent to receive messages, are defined according to hospital operating requirements.
Sensitive information protection and access control
Masking and access controls are designed to limit staff access to the information needed for their work. Collection and retention scope, encryption coverage and access logs are also defined according to hospital policies.
On-premises or cloud deployment
On-premises or cloud deployment is considered according to the hospital's information handling policies and operating environment.
Healthcare Template
A template for hospital support
HealthCare Template is a set of pre-designed workflows for turning recurring hospital inquiries into voicebot and chatbot services.
01
Shorten preparation with pre-designed workflows
Apply pre-designed conversation scenarios and deliverables to hospital procedures to help reduce the effort of defining workflows and preparing implementation.
02
From questionnaires and reminders to follow-up care
Pre-visit questionnaires are sent when an appointment is confirmed, and AlimTalk or SMS reminders the day before help patients prepare. Automated calls to patients who miss appointments record the reason and their preferred time to reschedule. Post-operative follow-up calls, medication guidance based on prescriptions and regular checkup reminders are planned extensions, including connection to medical staff or advice to visit when warning signs defined by healthcare professionals are identified.
03
Specialty-specific scenarios and multilingual support
Conversation scenarios are configured for specialties such as ophthalmology, dentistry and dermatology. Multilingual support includes Korean, English and Spanish. Support can be extended to additional languages to suit the hospital's patient population.
04
Integration with existing EMR and PMS systems
The integration scope is reviewed so that appointment information and clinical schedules in existing EMR and PMS systems can support conversations. Real-time integration and processing permissions are defined according to system interfaces and operating conditions.
05
Expansion through connected AI products
Extend patient support by integrating generative AI agents (CogXi), document-based answers (DocStore), voicebots with visual interfaces (CogInsight), and assistance for human agents (C3).
