CX Healthcare Exchange East - Day 2

2:40 PM Presentation: From Shiny Penny to Strategic Change - Preparing Contact Centres for AI, The Amazon Approach to Patient Experience

Healthcare contact centres sit on a vast trove of patient interactions, yet many organisations rush to deploy point AI solutions without the data foundations or strategy needed to move the needle. In this session, Steve Chambers will outline a pragmatic, methodical approach for care organisations to harness AI effectively: clarify demand, identify addressable gaps, and prioritise investments that elevate the human experience while driving operational efficiency. He will share frameworks and lessons learned from real-world deployments, including anytime access (meeting patients where they are), data & analytics (turning millions of calls into strategic intelligence), and human experience (making every human interaction seamless and respectful of patients' time). Attendees will leave with a practical roadmap to assess readiness, target the highest-impact opportunities, and avoid common pitfalls of "shiny penny" AI projects.
