- Call summaries or transcripts
- Management of follow up tasks from phone calls
- Surfacing care gaps and tasks for follow up during a contact
- Surfacing relevant policies and procedures during a contact
- Real time QA and feedback delivery to agents

Many companies offering these solutions also offer fully autonomous solutions. Many will also have AI powered analytics and intelligence solutions.

Patient-Facing AI Phone Calls includes products that enable AI-based interactions with patients over the phone. Most products in this space are focused on inbound calls, but there are some outbound call capabilities for appointment reminders and other administrative tasks. Some products will also have web- and chat-based capabilities as well. Companies in this category are differentiated by conversational capabilities powered by advanced AI included NLP, generative AI and machine learning. 

Vendors in this category have varying coverage of use cases, including:
- Appointment scheduling
- FAQ for hours, location, parking, etc.
- Prescription Refill requests
- IT Helpdesk for patient-facing IT
- Department and Provider Search

Differentiation in this space tends to come from factors including: 
- Ability to manage complicating factors like background noise, varied accents, and off-track conversations

- Support for multiple languages, especially for a wider set of patient demographics
- Fallback support with human agents when the AI isn’t getting the job done

- Eligibility and verification of benefits
- Prior authorization
- Claims status checks
- Denied claims appeals

- Caller dashboard to enable requesting outbound calls and viewing call results.
