Navigating the Waves of Customer Care Challenges in Healthcare ​

With the global healthcare market expected to reach $932.74 billion in 2026 (Research and Markets), healthcare enterprises are looking to grow their market share with significant focus on customer care. To do so, healthcare enterprises will have to overcome four waves of challenges.

1. Support Increased Enrollment

It is estimated that by 2027, 90M lives will be in value-based care models (up 47M from 2022), while Medicare Advantage enrollment will grow 5% annually, and duals population enrolled in managed care will see closer to 9% annual growth. (McKinsey). As healthcare programs expand, organizations must manage a larger and more diverse customer base. This requires investments in technology, scalable solutions, and innovative care models that can adapt to changing demands, ensuring that every customer receives high-quality care.

2. Strengthen Digital Communication Channels

Patients and providers today expect seamless, real-time interactions through various digital platforms. Healthcare organizations must adopt advanced technologies to facilitate these interactions, ensuring timely and personalized communication. At a time when 90% of Americans are using social media for health information (Healthgrades), effective digital communication not only improves patient engagement but also streamlines administrative processes, making healthcare services more efficient and accessible.

3. Deliver Personalized Experiences

Patients expect a holistic approach to their healthcare, where their needs and preferences are understood and addressed. In fact, 76% of consumers find a lack of personalized messaging frustrating (McKinsey). Even more important is the need for well explained responses to complex inquiries tied to treatment plans, medications, technology, and so much more. Providing consistent and personalized care across all touchpoints is essential for fostering trust and loyalty.

4. Address Attrition and Talent Shortages

The demand for healthcare professionals and knowledgeable support resources often exceeds supply, leading to staffing gaps that can affect the quality of care. High turnover rates and burnout among healthcare workers further exacerbate this issue. Addressing these staffing shortages is of critical importance, as they may raise the risk of patient mortality by 4% to 6% (Wolters Kluwer).
