Portal Concierge Service for Regional Health Systems

A white-label human support service embedded into health system workflows where trained patient advocates handle portal navigation, appointment scheduling, and record retrieval on behalf of patients via phone, chat, or in-clinic kiosks. The service intercepts the 30-40% of patients who currently abandon self-service and call the clinic anyway, but redirects them to a dedicated, efficient concierge team that resolves their request in 5-10 minutes instead of tying up clinic staff.

Original Problem

Patients struggle to navigate complex health portal interfaces to schedule appointments and access medical records

Patients at regional health systems like Rochester Regional Health face friction when trying to use digital health portals (MyCare) to book appointments, view test results, and manage their healthcare online. Current portal designs are confusing and unintuitive, causing patients to abandon digital self-service and instead call the clinic directly, creating bottlenecks for both patients and administrative staff. People are actively searching for guides and tutorials just to accomplish basic tasks, indicating the existing UX is fundamentally broken.
