BACKGROUND:
The healthcare industry faces many problems – affordability, substandard customer service and inconsistency in care quality, and is not designed around the consumer needs, leading to a subpar service experience. Despite encouraging improvements in treatment innovation, the delivery of care is inconsistent, resulting in variations in the quality of care that further compound these problems. We must reimagine a system that is built around the needs of the people we serve with high-value solutions to these pain points.
Baylor Scott and White Health (BSWH) is building a customer-focused strategy to solve these problems. We are innovating products and services as a part of a new Customer Products business, an internal startup within the health system. The Customer Products business is comprised of three groups – Strategy, Product and Customers. The Product team will develop new products and market them to consumers through multiple channels. Our initial product families will focus on: maintaining health, immediate care, and specialty care.
The Immediate Care product family addresses the disjointed and frustrating experience customers face today in seeking access to care. Customers are required to organize disconnected point “solutions” to resolve their symptoms, leaving them dissatisfied. One of the products BSWH is developing in this family is a First Contact Navigation solution that earns the customer’s first contact at symptom onset, eases access, and sticks with them until resolution, organizing all points for them. BSWH will partner with an external vendor, combining their AI-powered platform and analytics tools with key BSWH asses to co-develop a market-leading solution.
We are looking for people to join this exciting new team who are passionate problem solvers that want to develop a new paradigm to transform how customers are served.
