Convert 50,000 Additional Connections a Year
Cutting abandonment five points on one million calls converts roughly 50,000 additional connections - at conservative visit conversion, the recovered volume reaches eight figures.

The Scale Problem in Hospital Patient Access
Hospital Access Centers Absorb Volume That Overwhelms Manual Staffing
A health system’s patient access center is a paradox: the front door of a billion-dollar enterprise, run under relentless pressure on cost per call. Abandonment climbs every flu season and marketing campaign, agent turnover resets training continuously, and after-hours coverage, when 41% of patient calls actually arrive, is either expensive or absent. Every abandoned call is a scheduled visit, a referral, or a service-line conversion that never happened. Referral management leaks in parallel: faxed and portal referrals age in work queues, and studies consistently show large shares of referrals never convert to completed visits.
How CuroAI Handles Hospital System Call Traffic
Hospital System Workflow Automation
Access center overflow and after-hours answering at scale
CuroAI scales across high concurrent call volumes, absorbing seasonal surges, campaign response spikes, and the after-hours window, routing across service lines, departments, and facilities with system-defined logic, and handing complex cases to your agents with full context.
EHR-native scheduling across service lines
Appointments are booked directly against decision-tree and template rules in Epic and Cerner/Oracle Health, correct visit types, durations, and resources per department, with the specialty-aware logic proven across CuroAI’s 50+ specialty deployments.
Referral queue conversion
Incoming referrals trigger same-day patient outreach with automatic retry cadences, converting aging work queues into completed, revenue-generating visits and giving service-line leaders conversion visibility they have never had.
Clinical safety and escalation at enterprise standard
Symptom calls execute system-approved escalation protocols uniformly across every facility, nurse triage transfer, emergency direction, or expedited scheduling, with every interaction logged to the standard your CMO and compliance teams require.
EHR Integration for Hospital Systems
Works Inside Your Existing EHR
Enterprise integration with Epic and Cerner/Oracle Health at the depth health systems require, real-time scheduling writeback, template and decision-tree fidelity, plus athenahealth and eClinicalWorks for affiliated groups, behind security review built for hospital procurement: SOC 2, HIPAA, BAA, and full audit logging.
