Whether it is a customer contacting your business with a service issue, an employee calling HR regarding their leave benefits, or a patient working with their medical providers to get the treatment they need, it’s all about perspective.
Your employees, customers, and patients want responsive, focused, and comprehensive care and attention. Internally, stakeholders in your workflow want the data, accessibility, collaboration tools, and defined processes to get the work done in an organized and timely fashion.
However you look at it and whatever your industry, you likely are handling situations like these, which means you need a dynamic case management platform to bring the efficiencies and responsiveness your employees and customers expect.
So if you are considering the implementation of a case management process or your organization is in the market to find a new way to harness your workflow to get more done faster, here are six key efficiencies you should expect in your future case management platform.
1. Increased Data Sharing and Trend Analysis
Whether for incident management, employee services, claims, or customer service, your team cannot make decisions in a vacuum. They need easy and reliable access to the data.
Break down barriers to problem-solving and collaboration by integrating all of your data sources, inputs, and outputs into one integrated platform and workflow, which makes it easier to analyze, consolidate, and share data. And, because every case is unique, you need a case management platform that is designed to be nimble and foster knowledge-driven solutions no matter the situation.
In these cases, use built-in logic and rules to route and track workflow to get the right hands on each task.
2. Proactive and Visible Case Management
With a manual or disjointed case management process, it’s time-consuming and difficult to understand where each case is in its lifecycle. Instead, increase employee productivity and focus on continuity with a complete view of case information from end to end.
Rather than having to balance multiple systems, manage physical documents, and juggle several versions of spreadsheets, your team can utilize the same intuitive interface to log activities, add notes and updates, assign and delegate tasks, and schedule events.
3. Collaboration Across Platforms
Often, cases rely on the input of several different internal functions and systems. Ensure smooth handoffs from stakeholder to stakeholder and system to system with one centralized case management platform that consolidates all of the inputs and data in one location without expensive integration costs.
Go even further by looking for a solution that is cloud-enabled, allowing for secure and flexible accessibility no matter the device, time, or location.
4. Nimble and Customizable Reporting
Improve the visibility and control of your entire case management portfolio and individual cases with customizable reporting dashboards, audit trails, and status templates. Tools such as these help to provide transparency, compliance support, and areas for process improvement.
5. Configurable Workflows That Evolve with Your Business
Manage the inputs and outputs, documents, forms, and information that go into each case in one platform, which gives your employees the tools they need to effectively manage cases and make better decisions.
Features such as these also make it easy to create web-accessible forms, capture inputs from multiple sources, and give process owners the ability to refine their processes themselves over time.
6. Flexibility to Handle Exceptions
Whether dealing with employee or customer processes, there is always a possibility of an unexpected change or update that requires you to involve new data or parties to handle them correctly.
A dynamic case management platform should make it easy to create ad hoc processes to handle such exceptions and then later turn them into templates to save time in the future.
