Supervisors and quality assurance representatives work together to regularly review call performance, ensuring that messages are properly documented and conveyed.
This commitment to quality includes ongoing training for all agents, ranging from standard HIPAA certification to medical terminology and specialized Epic EMR training.
Agent Training
Our agents receive standard HIPAA training to ensure a strong understanding of patient privacy and data security. They also complete specialized instruction in medical terminology, equipping them to interpret and relay medical information accurately. Our training process is thorough, and only those who successfully complete all requirements are assigned to handle medical calls.
