Purpose
1. Automate the process of responding to standardized patient queries such as clinic location, business hours, practitioner availability, and appointment protocols in the context of kinesitherapy.
2. Automated response systems deliver real-time accurate information, freeing staff for complex tasks, while ensuring consistent, accessible communication via multiple digital channels.
3. The automation extends to capturing patient questions, recognizing standard intents, and giving automatic, channel-specific responses, reducing manual intervention and response latency across healthcare touchpoints.
Trigger Conditions
1. Patient sends a question containing keywords relating to location, hours, or practitioner details via digital channel (e.g., webchat, SMS, email).
2. Query received outside of business hours requiring an automated reply indicating operation times.
3. Updated clinic information triggers a content refresh in automated response templates to synchronize answers with current details.
