Hi I am ParhamMy-iClinic
Patient Enquiry Management Transformation
Redesigned patient enquiry workflows, improved follow-up consistency, and reduced administrative workload through process optimisation and automation.
Industry: Healthcare
Duration: 4 Months
My Role: Strategy, Systems, Delivery
The situation
My-iClinic relied on multiple channels to manage patient enquiries, but the process was unstructured, inconsistent, and difficult to manage. Enquiries arrived via phone, WhatsApp, website forms, and walk-ins with no centralised system or clear workflow.
Existing Enquiry Process
Information captured inconsistently
Follow-ups delayed or missed
No visibility of enquiry status
High admin workload
The challenge
Enquiry handling was unstructured and manual, leading to missed follow-ups, poor visibility, and inefficiencies across the team.
What Was Happening?
Information arrived inconsistently
Follow-ups depended on memory
Enquiries were not prioritised
No clear view of enquiry status
High manual effort for staff
Root Cause
Information was arriving from multiple channels with no structured process, automation, or visibility.
There was no system to capture, qualify, follow-up, and convert enquiries in a consistent and accountable way.
Why it mattered
The inefficiencies had direct impact on the business and made it difficult to grow predictably while delivering a better patient experience.
Longer Response Times
Enquiries were taking too long to action, resulting in delays and lost opportunities.
Increased Admin Workload
Staff spent excessive time on manual tasks instead of patient care and follow-ups.
Reduced Enquiry Visibility
No clear view of enquiry status, performance, or conversion across channels.
Risk of Losing Patients
High-intent enquiries were not managed consistently, resulting in lost patients.
Slower Progression
Patients took longer to move from enquiry to appointment, affecting experience and outcomes.
The approach
A structured and data-informed approach was used to understand the process, identify friction, and design a simpler, more effective operating model.
