Better access starts with the first call

Operators spend too much time on requests that should be automated

Every patient reaches the healthcare switchboard first. Hold times, wrong transfers, and outdated health system directory information create frustration before callers reach the correct department.

Parlance Voice AI improves healthcare call routing with HIPAA-compliant conversational IVR and AI-powered voice assistants that answer calls immediately, reduce routine call routing for operators, and help hospital switchboard teams manage call handling more efficiently.

Callers simply say what they need

Parlance understands the request and routes people to the right place

When someone says, “I need Dr. Patel in cardiology at the Southside campus,” Parlance understands the request and routes the call correctly the first time.

Conversational AI interprets caller intent, while Parlance conversational IVA technology recognizes physician names, specialties, and clinical terminology with the accuracy required for healthcare call routing across complex hospital environments.

Outdated directories create routing problems

Parlance keeps provider and department information current automatically

Directories change constantly across health systems. Providers leave, departments shift, and locations update, but routing information often falls behind.

Parlance keeps directories current through automated directory management, with HL7 feeds updating every fifteen minutes so routing information always reflects the real state of your organization.

Built for the way hospitals operate

Parlance supports clinical routing, call transfers, and switchboard workflows in real time

Parlance extends voice AI beyond patient access, supporting the clinical operations hospital switchboards manage every day, including patient rooms and nurse stations, routine call routing, emergency escalation protocols, and routine call handling across complex healthcare environments.

With EHR integration and HL7 messages, routing information stays current automatically so calls reach the right department, provider, or care team without unnecessary transfers or delays. Parlance helps multi hospital system teams improve call routing, reduce switchboard call volume, and support switchboard operators more efficiently.

Built specifically for healthcare, Parlance supports switchboard automation, After Hours Calls, VIP Access workflows, Public Answer operations, and the operational complexity generic contact center platforms cannot match.

Less time spent managing routine calls

Operators focus on the conversations that require human expertise

Health systems using Parlance reduce routine call routing workloads so switchboard operators can focus on more complex conversations.

Patients with simple requests are guided through natural conversation, while callers who need a hospital operator reach one faster with AI powered voice assistance.

Parlance supports healthcare switchboard teams by reducing repetitive routing work, improving switchboard automation, and helping multi hospital system operations manage growing call volume more efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to implement Parlance?
Implementation timelines are typically based on system complexity. Most installations for the Parlance IVR are completed within 6 to 8 weeks. While we can move very quickly, timelines are often dependent on the availability and responsiveness of customer resources. We work collaboratively with your team to ensure efficient deployment.
How does the Parlance IVR ensure HIPAA compliance and data security for patient information?
Parlance processes patient room requests and accesses protected health information through EHR integration. Health system compliance officers and CIOs can rest assured that Parlance is HIPAA compliant and has SOC 2 certification. This includes encryption for data in transit and at rest, role-based access controls for users, and consistent auditing. An incident response and breach notification process aligning with HIPAA requirements is also in place. Business associate agreements terms define data handling responsibilities, breach notification timelines, and safeguards to protect PHI throughout the lifecycle of the engagement.
What business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities are built into the Parlance platform?
Health systems cannot tolerate telecommunications failures given their 24/7/365 operational requirements.

For on premises deployments, our uptime and SLA are synched with the customer. We deploy redundant service units within the environment and work with your team to create failover plan that works for the customer.

In hybrid or cloud deployments, customers extend their telephony environment to multiple geographic zones. Even in a case of complete internet disruption, we work with the customer to redirect those calls back into their environment, so no call is dropped.

Answering these questions regarding the intersection of operational efficiency, financial accountability, technical feasibility, regulatory compliance, and risk management will help enterprise healthcare technology stakeholders in their decision-making.
