00:00:02,910 --> 00:00:03,780
Hi, I'm Brian.
2
00:00:03,780 --> 00:00:05,940
I'm here with Kim MacTavish, Senior Vice President
3
00:00:05,940 --> 00:00:07,336
of Customer Services.
4
00:00:07,336 --> 00:00:08,710
Kim, it's great to have you here.
5
00:00:08,710 --> 00:00:10,084
Thank you so much for joining us.
6
00:00:10,084 --> 00:00:11,580
Thank you for having me, Brian.
7
00:00:11,580 --> 00:00:15,000
So how is support at MEDHOST a differentiator
8
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,130
for the organization?
9
00:00:17,130 --> 00:00:20,610
I would say, because we provide an experience for the customer.
10
00:00:20,610 --> 00:00:22,950
While it's important for us to measure the customer
11
00:00:22,950 --> 00:00:25,860
satisfaction through a transaction,
12
00:00:25,860 --> 00:00:29,880
ultimately if we want to maintain customers,
13
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:34,140
that experience that we provide to the customer
14
00:00:34,140 --> 00:00:36,590
provides a huge value to MEDHOST.
15
00:00:36,590 --> 00:00:40,080
There's a lot of transparency that we have with our customer
16
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,510
support that's not typical in the industry.
17
00:00:42,510 --> 00:00:43,510
That is correct.
18
00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:44,490
It is not typical.
19
00:00:44,490 --> 00:00:47,520
It's not standard for other competitors
20
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,650
to provide the level of communication
21
00:00:49,650 --> 00:00:54,150
we do to our customers related to key performance indicators,
22
00:00:54,150 --> 00:00:58,710
as well as some of the health metrics that we do monitor.
23
00:00:58,710 --> 00:01:03,810
And while we believe whether we succeed or we're not
24
00:01:03,810 --> 00:01:06,090
doing so great, that information is
25
00:01:06,090 --> 00:01:08,460
important to share out with our customers,
26
00:01:08,460 --> 00:01:11,770
and ensure that they understand the level of experience they
27
00:01:11,770 --> 00:01:12,960
are receiving.
28
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:15,590
And it also holds us to a high level of accountability
29
00:01:15,590 --> 00:01:16,960
as well.
30
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:22,035
Now you mentioned that we have a 96% customer satisfaction,
31
00:01:22,035 --> 00:01:25,820
and 82% first day resolve.
32
00:01:25,820 --> 00:01:28,670
What do you attribute to that success?
33
00:01:28,670 --> 00:01:32,420
Ownership is key to how we operate.
34
00:01:32,420 --> 00:01:36,410
And the fact that people not only own themselves, but own
35
00:01:36,410 --> 00:01:40,790
the customers, they are focused on putting their best
36
00:01:40,790 --> 00:01:42,380
foot forward.
37
00:01:42,380 --> 00:01:47,780
Which in turn, has them put every effort forward
38
00:01:47,780 --> 00:01:50,390
to create that level of experience.
39
00:01:50,390 --> 00:01:53,510
I will say that all of our resources,
40
00:01:53,510 --> 00:01:55,150
no matter what level they function in
41
00:01:55,150 --> 00:01:57,650
within customer support, are all held
42
00:01:57,650 --> 00:01:59,900
accountable to the same metrics.
43
00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:04,160
And on an individual basis, on a team basis, as well as
44
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,000
the entire leadership team, including myself,
45
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,740
are accountable to ensuring those metrics on that.
46
00:02:10,740 --> 00:02:13,250
So why are the services that your team provides
47
00:02:13,250 --> 00:02:16,920
so valuable to our customers?
48
00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:22,500
I believe that addressing customer issues in real time
49
00:02:22,500 --> 00:02:24,810
as quick as we can, as promptly as we
50
00:02:24,810 --> 00:02:28,980
can, with a holistic experience, really allows
51
00:02:28,980 --> 00:02:32,110
our customers to get back to what they do best.
52
00:02:32,110 --> 00:02:33,690
Which is caring for their patients,
53
00:02:33,690 --> 00:02:36,720
and for their communities, and managing their business
54
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,197
operations well.
55
00:02:38,197 --> 00:02:39,780
Kim, thank you so much for being here.
56
00:02:39,780 --> 00:02:41,860
It's been wonderful getting to sit and talk to you.
57
00:02:41,860 --> 00:02:42,860
Thank you so much Brian.
58
00:02:42,860 --> 00:02:44,220
