Improve patient access and save money with real-time voice AI for health systems

Parlance generative IVRs and intelligent virtual assistants (IVAs) typically deliver ROI in 30–60 days.

AI agents manage interactions end-to-end — greeting callers, interpreting intent through natural conversation, routing with precision, scheduling through live EHR and CRM integrations, and escalating to a live agent when the interaction requires it.

No caller frustration. No long hold times.

Built for the way health systems operate

Proprietary name recognition

Proprietary name recognition.

Parlance conversational AI understands physician names, departments, and medications the way callers actually say them, helping hospital switchboards and patient access contact centers route calls correctly the first time.

Real-time EHR and CRM integration

Real-time EHR and CRM integration.

HIPAA-compliant connection to the systems your healthcare organization runs on — Epic, Cerner, athenahealth, Meditech, etc. Schedules and patient records update without manual work.

Engineered safety

Engineered safety.

Built-in safeguards mean efficiency without abandonment, at the switchboard and the patient access contact center. No one ends up in a loop. Two failed attempts by the AI agent trigger automatic warm transfer to a live operator.

Health system call volume concentrates in three zones.

Each has a Parlance AI agent configured for it.

Here’s how they get handled.

At the switchboard

At the switchboard

Incoming calls hit fast, and operators can only handle so many. Parlance intelligent AI absorbs inbound call volume without menus, scripts, or numbers to press. Secure HL7 integrations route to patient rooms or to nurse stations directly and FAQs are answered from the health system knowledge base. Operators focus on calls that require judgement because routine transfers leave the queue entirely.

In the patient access center

In the patient access center

AI agents automate appointment scheduling, rescheduling, prescription refills, and insurance questions. Parlance reduces hold times, freeing staff to focus on more complex needs. Live agents spend less time managing queues and more time helping patients. Documented results across Parlance deployments: 40%+ agent time savings, 85%+ routine call resolution, 30-60 days to ROI.

Across the clinic network

Across the clinic network

Multi-site health systems deliver one consistent, branded voice experience across every hospital and clinic. The same AI agent answers the 2 a.m. cancellation at the specialty clinic and the 8 a.m. insurance question at the main hospital. Parlance provides a consistent experience across every hospital and clinic, 24/7.

EHR and CRM integrations that work during every call

Parlance connects directly to the systems behind every call, including EHR and CRM platforms. Healthcare consumers can self-serve easily. Appointments are scheduled and patient records are updated automatically. Integrations are HIPAA-compliant and built for healthcare workflows.

What our customers say

Parlance has lived up to what we expected, answering up to 50% of our incoming calls. They handle non-emergency calls – seamlessly and accurately – which frees up staff to answer critical code calls. ”

Jake Dorst

Having Parlance as a reliable solution was invaluable as we built out the Access Center. We simply wouldn’t have been able to build it with the offsite staff. It’s really been a huge win for us. ”

Generative IVR at the switchboard

  • Operators stay focused on administrative responsibilities and complex support calls

IVAs in the patient access center

  • Improve operational efficiency in contact centers
  • Enable agents to provide better service to callers and work at the top of their license

Unlock the Power of Quick AI Wins

HL7 integration

Parlance operates secure HL7 integrations. Many switchboard operator calls require connection to a patient's room or the corresponding nurse station. Offloading these routine requests lets staff concentrate on other duties and on calls that require complex support.
