Automate intake, FAQs, and follow-up—without increasing headcount.

VP of Product
The Problem: Admin Bottlenecks Hurt Patient Experience
Post-acute care facilities are overwhelmed by:
Constant phone inquiries about services, insurance, and availability
Manual intake and referral follow-up
High staff turnover and administrative burnout
Meanwhile:
19% of incoming calls go unanswered daily
87% of nursing homes report moderate to high staffing shortages
76% of patient referrals are rejected, often from lack of timely response
Alita’s AI chat agents help bridge that gap—automating routine interactions while your team focuses on delivering care.

Use Case: Intake and Follow-Up Automation
A patient’s family visits your site at 9 p.m. They interact with Alita, complete intake screening, and receive confirmation of a follow-up call the next morning. Staff arrives to a pre-qualified lead ready for action—no missed opportunity, no back-and-forth.
Why This Matters
Your staff is already stretched. Automating routine interactions means:
Faster response times, even after hours
Fewer dropped referrals
More time for high-touch care, not admin work
Real-World Results From Chat Agent Deployments
Up to 3x more intakes captured outside business hours
20–30% less time spent on triage and admin
Significantly higher satisfaction scores from faster follow-up and multilingual support
