Discover why round-the-clock availability drives better care and conversions.

Why Round-the-Clock Coverage Matters in Post-Acute Care
In healthcare, timing is critical:
25% of inquiries arrive after hours
19% of calls go unanswered during the day
Families often search facilities late at night after discharge discussions
Weekends delay traditional intake and recruitment workflows
Without real-time response, patients turn to competitors, referrals expire, and staffing gaps widen. AI chat agents like Alita make sure your virtual front door is never closed.
What 24/7 Chat Agents Can Do—Anytime, Anywhere
Unlike legacy chatbots, Alita handles complex workflows at any hour:
Answer eligibility and insurance questions
Qualify and route new patient leads
Collect referral and intake forms
Screen and schedule nursing candidates
Book follow-up calls, tours, or consults automatically
All of this happens even when your team is offline.
Case in Point: After-Hours Patient Intake
A hospital discharges a patient on Friday night. The family visits your website at 9pm. Alita qualifies the referral, confirms coverage, and schedules an intake call—before Monday morning even begins.
