The challenge

When patients can't get through, care waits.

Patient access is where referral growth meets staffing reality. These are the moments CDAS is built to protect.

01

Peak-hour hold queues

Morning surges and Monday volume push hold times up — and patients hang up.

02

Referrals that stall

New-patient referrals sit unscheduled while staff juggle inbound calls.

03

Front desks stretched thin

The same people answer phones, check in patients, and chase paperwork.

Scope

What patient access covers.

Coverage can be overflow, specific lines, or a full patient-access function — scoped with you during implementation.

  • New-patient scheduling and intake coordination
  • Appointment scheduling, rescheduling, and cancellations
  • Referral follow-up and outreach to schedule
  • Administrative questions answered with approved information
  • English, Spanish, and Mandarin support
  • Every interaction documented according to your SOPs

How it works

Clear responsibilities. Accountable support.

Every step follows workflows we define with your team during implementation.

01

Answer

A trained agent picks up quickly — no phone tree maze.

02

Identify the need

Scheduling, referral, records, or something that needs your clinical team.

03

Resolve or route

Book the visit, or route through your approved escalation path.

04

Document & follow up

Notes, outcomes, and next steps captured to your standard.

Guardrails

Boundaries that build trust.

What we do is clearly defined — and so is what we don't.

Clinical scope

CDAS strictly follows SOPs developed with your team during implementation. Agents do not independently assess, diagnose, or recommend treatment. Clinical concerns are routed to your designated clinical team.

Language access

Agents support English, Spanish, and Mandarin. When a conversation needs an interpreter, your policies define the workflow.

Audit-supported quality

Patient-access messages are included in our 100% message audit process, and calls are QA-sampled, with experienced QA leaders reviewing trends and coaching.

Questions

What practice leaders ask us.

Do you replace our front desk?

No. CDAS can support overflow, specific lines, or a full patient-access function. The scope, hours, and responsibilities are defined in your service agreement.

How do agents learn our workflows?

We document your contact pathways and SOPs during implementation, and agents rehearse your scenarios in CALL READY™ before taking live calls.

What happens when a patient raises a clinical concern?

Agents identify the triggers specified in your SOPs and route the concern to your designated clinical team. They do not assess, diagnose, or recommend treatment.
