Relationship Focused Metrics: A Different Measure of Success
- Registration Closed
When a community member’s needs go beyond a one-time call or single referral, when you value a relationship over turnaround time and patient outcome over speed in answering the phone, how do you measure success? This session highlights the unique factors that contribute to measurements of successful information and referral interaction outside the normal parameters of a call center environment. Our team measures success by the persistence of positive interactions and timely follow ups with information and referral that is specialized for the needs of a person living with cystic fibrosis, their families and healthcare providers.
Objectives:
- Describe relationship focused metrics
- Utilize skills associated with exceptional customer service
- Define relationship driven case management
- Identify unique I&R needs for those with chronic illnesses
