Today’s savvy customer expects to do business without the frustration associated with long hold times, repetitive questions or inconsistency. Healthcare consumers are no exception. Whether they are a health plan member or a patient in a provider setting, processes that hinder the experience can drive them away. To help you better understand this, NTT DATA has released new findings in two studies with insight into how friction plays a role in healthcare.
