How Westside Family Healthcare reduced call burden and protected in-person care

Westside Family Healthcare relies on VitalCX for call management, scheduling and patient engagement, helping patients get through while giving on-site teams more time for the people in front of them.

Westside Family Healthcare

The Challenge

Westside Family Healthcare’s on-site staff were managing heavy inbound call volume while also supporting patients in person. As call volume increased, site-based teams were pulled away from the people standing in front of them. The organization needed a more reliable way to manage access, reduce abandoned calls, improve hold times and protect the in-person care experience.

The VitalCX Approach

VitalCX took on call management with a dedicated team across switchboard, scheduling and a provider critical-results line. The team used consistent monitoring and targeted process improvement to tune routing, staffing and workflows. The goal was simple: help more patients get through, keep wait times low and reduce call overflow for on-site teams. By shifting call volume away from front-desk staff, VitalCX helped Westside protect the patient experience both on the phone and in person.

The Results

Westside answered 197,901 calls year-to-date in 2025 while keeping abandonment to 3.30%. The organization also achieved a 40-second average wait time and a 79.82% call-to-appointment conversion rate. Just as importantly, on-site teams regained time to focus on the patients in front of them.

“Thanks to our support from VitalCX, our on-site PSRs have seen a significant decrease in the amount of inbound site calls, allowing them to focus on the people in front of them. There has been tremendous improvement to our overall abandoned call rates throughout the organization, as well as decreased hold times.”
