The goal of these calls, all manually placed, is to check in with patients after discharge and ask specific questions about their recovery, if they had received their medications, and provide any special instructions for recovery care.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding="no-extra-padding" column_padding_position="all" background_color_opacity="1" background_hover_color_opacity="1" column_link_target="_self" column_shadow="none" column_border_radius="none" width="1/2" tablet_width_inherit="default" tablet_text_alignment="default" phone_text_alignment="default" column_border_width="none" column_border_style="solid" bg_image_animation="none"][vc_custom_heading text="Our Approach" use_theme_fonts="yes"][divider line_type="No Line" custom_height="25"][vc_column_text]Using Twilio Studio Flow, Terazo built an intelligent custom IVR solution which ingested a CSV file, including information on each patient discharged, to Azure Blog Storage. The solution places outbound calls both one and four days after discharge. Using conditional logic to build a list of questions, patient responses to these “yes” or “no” questions are recorded and stored in a Cosmos DB database. Reports are generated showing both individual and aggregate data, allowing healthcare staff to prioritize their efforts when following up with patients.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type="full_width_background" full_screen_row_position="middle" bg_image="16161" bg_position="left top" bg_repeat="no-repeat" scene_position="center" text_color="light" text_align="left" top_padding="4%" bottom_padding="4%" overlay_strength="0.3" shape_divider_position="bottom" bg_image_animation="none" shape_type=""][vc_column column_padding="no-extra-padding" column_padding_position="all" background_color_opacity="1" background_hover_color_opacity="1" column_link_target="_self" column_shadow="none" column_border_radius="none" width="1/6" tablet_width_inherit="default" tablet_text_alignment="default" phone_text_alignment="default" column_border_width="none" column_border_style="solid" bg_image_animation="none"][/vc_column][vc_column centered_text="true" column_padding="padding-2-percent" column_padding_position="all" background_color_opacity="1" background_hover_color_opacity="1" column_link_target="_self" column_shadow="none" column_border_radius="none" width="2/3" tablet_width_inherit="default" tablet_text_alignment="default" phone_text_alignment="default" column_border_width="none" column_border_style="solid" bg_image_animation="none"][vc_column_text]
