Answer on first contact
Every caller reaches something immediately instead of a queue, on phone or on your supported digital channels.
Enterprise hospitals
A hospital switchboard
is a routing problem.
Most calls into a hospital are not clinical. They are appointments, results enquiries, visiting questions and directions, sitting in the same queue as the ones that are.

Who this is for
Where the capacity actually goes.
Single-site hospitals coordinating outpatient appointments, patient services and general enquiries across many departments.
Non-clinical volume blocks clinical calls.
Directions, visiting hours and appointment changes occupy the same line as callers who need a person now.
Transfers lose the caller.
Every hop between departments is a point where the call can drop and the patient starts again.
Departments keep separate rules.
Outpatients, radiology and admissions each work differently, so a single script cannot serve them.
The journey, step by step
One request.
Four moves.
An illustrative enterprise hospitals journey. Your configuration decides the real sequence, the rules and the point a person takes over.
Separate routine from clinical
Approved routine questions are handled; anything matching your clinical or urgency rules goes straight to staff.
Route with the context attached
When a transfer is needed, what the caller already said travels with them.
Update the record
Appointment changes and confirmations are written back to the systems in scope.
The specialists this draws on
Four roles, working in sequence.
All eight specialists are included in every plan. These are the ones Stella typically activates first for enterprise hospitals.
Where your people take over
Triage, clinical advice, results and anything touching a patient record goes to authorised staff only. Nothing clinical is answered by a configured workflow.
Common questions
Questions enterprise hospitals ask.
Would this replace our switchboard team?
No. It absorbs the routine volume so the team spends its time on the calls that need a person. Staffing decisions are yours.
Can it access patient records?
Only the systems and fields you explicitly connect and permit during scoping. Access is configured, not assumed, and results are never handled by a workflow.
