By partnering with PerfectServe, we're bringing together best-in-class contact center technology with deep healthcare expertise to create a solution that effectively addresses the unique challenges faced by hospital systems."

The integrated solution offers several key benefits:

• Automated Handling of Routine Inquiries: Five9's IVA manages common general requests such as visiting hours and appointments, freeing up human operators to handle complex tasks using PerfectServe.
