The Challenge

Sipssa Medicina Privada, a renowned prepaid health insurance company in Argentina, was grappling with the challenge of reducing response times for its members. The company was experiencing delays of up to 48 hours in responding to queries through phone and email channels. The need for 24/7 availability and immediate responses was paramount to enhance their relationship with members. The company aimed to reduce pending messages, provide round-the-clock customer service, receive online referrals from potential members, rate representative service in customer experience, improve customer service by providing adequate information, optimize and measure response times in each process, and systematize processes without needing representative assistance.

About The Customer

Sipssa Medicina Privada is a leading prepaid health insurance company in Argentina. The company is committed to resolving all kinds of member queries through its AI-powered conversational bot, Sipssi, and even provides immediate assistance in emergency situations. Sipssa currently has over 35,000 members, 400 healthcare providers, and operates 6 branches in Cordoba, Argentina. The company's primary goal is to satisfy its members' needs and expectations through a team of highly qualified professionals.

The Solution

To address these challenges, Sipssa developed a conversational AI bot, Sipssi, powered by Aivo's technology. An interdisciplinary team was formed to implement the bot, identify issues that could be fully addressed by Sipssi, and those that would require human intervention. The bot was designed to provide two types of services: administrative service for members and commercial service for non-members. The bot was implemented on WhatsApp, Facebook, and the company's website, with WhatsApp being the most used channel. Sipssi assists customers with authorizations, logging in to the member portal, making health insurance payments, recruitment form for potential interested parties, refunds, and using the app. To encourage the adoption of these automatic channels, Sipssa carried out email marketing campaigns, promoted through social networks, YouTube tutorial videos, app notifications, in-branch flyers, and IVR with their 0-800 number.

Operational Impact

  • The implementation of the AI bot, Sipssi, has significantly improved Sipssa Medicina Privada's customer service. The bot's 24/7 availability and immediate response capability have been instrumental in providing timely assistance, especially in emergency situations. The bot's ability to respond to different messages from customers going through emergencies has been a game-changer. The bot has also played a crucial role in Sipssa's strategy, with 90% of inquiries being automated through WhatsApp. The bot has not only improved response times but also helped in capturing leads and complementing the sales strategy. The company has also seen a wide adoption of this technology among its audience.

Quantitative Benefit

  • Sipssi resolves an average of 10,000 inquiries per month.

  • The average service time is 3:57 minutes with an average efficiency of 87%.

  • 90% of these inquiries are automated through WhatsApp.

Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.

Harnessing real-time data to give a holistic picture of patient health
Every day, vast quantities of data are collected about patients as they pass through health service organizations—from operational data such as treatment history and medications to physiological data captured by medical devices. The insights hidden within this treasure trove of data can be used to support more personalized treatments, more accurate diagnosis and more advanced preparative care. But since the information is generated faster than most organizations can consume it, unlocking the power of this big data can be a struggle. This type of predictive approach not only improves patient care—it also helps to reduce costs, because in the healthcare industry, prevention is almost always more cost-effective than treatment. However, collecting, analyzing and presenting these data-streams in a way that clinicians can easily understand can pose a significant technical challenge.
