Chapter 1: CPMHC Provider Services Overview Customer Process Manager™ for Healthcare (CPMHC) Provider Services is a process-oriented contact center application for managing and automating customer service across multiple customer touch points. This book describes how to use Provider Services to guide CSRs in processing customer service inquires and requests from initiation through resolution.
Key features of Provider Services include:
Optimized interaction management capabilities
Smart scripting and guided next-step processing
A browser-based, context-sensitive user interface
“One-and-done” service process automation
Integrated support for telephone, e-mail, and Web-based channels
Intelligent sales and marketing campaign management

Improve service effectiveness
Increase operational productivity
Increase customer retention and cross-sell revenue
Reduce training time
Ensure an optimal customer service experience
Optimized Interaction Management The Provider Services Interaction Driver helps optimize every customer interaction. Its built-in intelligence automatically queues business processes based on your company policies as well as on anticipated customer requests. As a result, you can act on service requests before your customers even ask — reducing your call-back frequency and increasing first-call resolution rate.

Smart Scripting and Guided Next-Step Processing With Provider Services, smart scripting and next-step workflow guide you through every customer interaction — reducing training time and ensuring service consistency. Comprehensive dialog management facilities enable you to create dynamic scripts that are personalized for the customer within the context of the interaction.
Context-Sensitive User Interface Provider Services employs an Internet Explorer-based user interface that dynamically presents information when and where you need it. By presenting information that is both relevant to the customer and to the task you are performing, Provider Services gives you the smart way to handle customer interactions. The browser-based interface means that Provider Services is easy to deploy across your organizations. Optionally, your company can integrate Provider Services forms and windows into other application portals.
“One-and-Done” Service Process Automation Through automated best-practice service workflows that are directly integrated with your legacy and back-end systems in real time, you can resolve customer issues quickly — without transferring or calling back customers, and without passing service fulfillment to the back office. The result is more efficient and effective service. Other capabilities, such as automatic correspondence and service request audit trails, minimize manual work and reduce time-consuming work transfer.
Multi-Channel Support Provider Services includes integrated, multi-channel support capabilities for managing telephone, e-mail, and Web-based service interactions. Using PegaCALL for PegaRULES, Provider Services provides robust CTI support including adaptive screen pops, desktop telephony controls, and enhanced call-out facilities. PegaCHAT enables support for live chat interactions with customers over the web. By leveraging the business rules engine architecture, you can re-use your business processes and rules across channels — from the IVR to the Web.
Intelligent Sales and Marketing Campaigns With its intelligent campaign and offer management capabilities, Provider Services helps you deliver the right offer to the right customer at the right time. Integrated campaign setup and tracking capabilities enable you to easily manage your company’s cross-sell, retention, reward, and restitution campaigns.
Value-Based Service Level Management To help you meet important performance objectives, Provider Services provides sophisticated facilities for managing value-based service level agreements (SLA). You can assign and monitor work, ensuring that tasks are completed according to both business priority and customer value.

Quality Performance Management Provider Services provides comprehensive capabilities for quality review management to evaluate and monitor employee performance against your company’s quality criteria. Dynamic coaching tips improve productivity and reduce training time by delivering real-time advice and instructions to individual employees while they are interacting with customers.
Real-Time Analytics and Reporting Provider Services includes a wide variety of standard reports and graphs, providing real-time information about processes, work, assignments, and historical data for analyzing contact center performance over time. Powerful drill-down analysis capabilities enable you to travel from a summary view of your entire operation down to the details of a single service-request case.
PegaCALL™ and CPMHC Provider Services PegaCALL provides Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) to improve contact center operations. PegaCALL enhances telephone-based customer interactions such as service inquiries, telemarketing, sales, and collection efforts by integrating business process management capabilities with telephony hardware, software, and industry-standard APIs.
Implementing CTI in contact centers typically involves connecting a computer system to an IVR and a telephone switch. The IVR passes information about calls it is servicing to CPMHC and provides critical information if and when the caller decides to speak to a customer service representative (CSR). This information typically includes the caller’s account number as punched into the touch-tone phone and other information about the IVR interaction.
A telephone switch (PBX or ACD) provides CPMHC with information about the call which enables CPMHC to present customer and call details to the CSR in a screen pop as the call arrives.
The connection between the ACD and the PegaCALL application also allows CSRs to issue telephone switch commands from the workflow for controlling the call. Examples of such commands are hanging up on a call, transferring a call, and making the CSR phone ‘not ready’ for calls.
PegaCHAT and CPMHC Provider Services PegaCHAT provides a pre-configured foundation of rules for the integration of CPMHC with third party chat applications.
PegaCHAT enhances CPMHC’s multichannel offerings to provide immediate, on-demand customer service over the Web. CPMHC’s unique portal design supports simultaneous, concurrent interactions, increasing user productivity.
PegaCHAT rules are installed with CPMHC. You must be licensed to use PegaCHAT in your environment.

Chapter 2: Getting Started This chapter introduces Provider Services and describes the basics of navigation.
Topics included are:
Understanding Basic Terminology
User Portal Layouts
Understanding Portal Views
Interpreting Icons and Controls
Setting User Preferences
Understanding Provider Services Terminology To begin working with Provider Services, it is useful to become familiar with the following application terminology:
Live interaction — a telephone inquiry or a branch walk-in visit from a customer. Provider Services creates an interaction log to record all activities and service items that result from live customer interactions.
Non-live interaction — an e-mail, fax, or mail inquiry from a customer. Provider Services creates an interaction log to record all activities and service items that result from non-live customer interactions.
CTI (Computer Telephony Integration) — capabilities combining data with voice systems to enhance your contact center operations. Using PegaCALL for PegaRULES, Provider Services supports CTI capabilities such as screen pops, desktop telephony controls, and enhanced call routing.
Case (work item or service request) — a unit of work in Provider Services assigns a unique number called a Work ID to each case, whether it is an interaction or a service request, such as an address change.
Workbasket — a centralized, shared pool of cases from which users can select work. Cases available to a user depend on the user's role. When cases are created, Provider Services routes them to named workbaskets to wait for further processing and automatically retrieves them when users request work.
Worklist — a list of case items assigned to a user. Provider Services routes work from workbaskets to users who are most qualified to process that work. Users can also pull new case items directly to their worklist.
Service level— time interval to complete a request. Provider Services assigns a service level to each unit of work within the system. A service level defines one or two intervals known as goals and deadlines. The intervals indicate the expected or targeted turnaround time for the assignment or the expected amount of time to resolve the case.

Interaction Navigation Methods Provider Services offers two navigation methods that can be used during a customer interaction.
Note: These navigation methods apply only to work that occurs during an interaction. Navigation and
processing of work post-interaction is not affected.
As shipped, Provider Services allows end users to choose the navigation method they prefer. Users can make this selection using the User Preference control ― see Setting Navigation Preferences in this chapter.
Alternatively, organizations can choose to make this a system-determined function rather than a user selected preference. For example: they want to set the navigation style based on a call queue, or workgroup. This procedure is detailed in the Understanding CPMHC Navigation Options topic in the Customer Process Manager for Healthcare Implementation Guide.
Classic Interaction Navigation Method The classic navigation method is optimized for process and inquiry. This navigation method delivers the most “guided” user experience and the shortest learning time.
Once you verify the customer, you can see the Interaction Driver screen. This screen lets you launch service processes for the customer.

After selecting a process, the interaction thumbnail and action areas change to walk you through the process and allow you to enter appropriate data.

Each time you complete a service process, the action area returns to the Interaction Driver so that you may select another process or wrap up the interaction.
The user progresses through one service process at a time and is returned to the Provider Services interaction driver after each service item is either completed or is routed to another user/queue.
Tabbed Interaction Navigation Method This navigation method is optimized for complex processes with layered screens. This method allows multiple service processes to be in-flight at the same time during an interaction.

Identifying and Verifying the Contact/Provider A live interaction starts by identifying and verifying the customer. To start the interaction, select Phone Call - Provider from the New menu located on the portal header.
Note: The Provider search is available if your company uses the Provider Services solution.
Note: Your company may use PegaCALLTM for PegaRULES to provide CTI capabilities for your CPMHC
application. If it does, you may be notified of an incoming call via a screen pop. Depending on the information
about the caller that your company’s interactive voice response (IVR) system captures, you may not need to
perform search or verification processes. Refer to Using CTI Functions in this chapter for more information on
CTI integration.
Search for a Provider The interaction thumbnail and action areas change when you begin a provider search. CPMHC requires you to select a contact during a live interaction.
Enter your search criteria and press “Enter” to initiate the search and display the results. Results will appear below the search fields. This example shows results based on a search

The Select Action area contains the following sections:
Other Processes
Suggested Processes
Customer Process Manager for Healthcare Provider Services User Guide
3-5
Suggested Processes —list the processes that Provider Services has determined you may want to be use during this interaction. The basis of the list is information on the caller, account profiles, and recent history. The suggestions are based on your company’s business rules. To select a suggested process, click the check box next to the process name. The process is added to the Queued Processes section to the right of the screen. The following icons may appear next to suggested processes:
Clock - to help you understand the reason why the process is being suggested (e.g. SLA running on an open case)
Light bulb – click to display suggestions previously made to the contact during an interaction (displayed in Classic Navigation only)
Queued Processes —list of processes queued for this interaction. In some cases, the system may automatically queue business processes required during the interaction. For example, in the preceding screen, CPMHC has automatically queued two business processes, a suggested cross-sell offer workflow for Web Self Service Promotion, and Wrap Up (end interaction business process).
Take Action Button — selection of a business processes from categorized lists (see Standard Provider Services Business Processes for a list of processes available with CPMHC). Selected processes can either be launched immediately or added to the list of queued actions. You can also double-click to automatically start the process.
Interaction Goals CPMHC may display an interaction goal in the dialog area during a customer interaction. This goal reflects your company’s business rules and can be based on prior customer interactions, recent customer NPS® rating, customer profile, or other information. CPMHC may use this goal to present different dialog scripts to you for the customer or may use it to present suggested processes.
Editing the Callback Number The Callback Number reflects the caller’s phone number received from the ACD. When PegaCALL™ is installed with CPMHC you can click on the number to trigger an outbound call to the customer in the event the CSR is accidentally disconnected during the interaction.

Your organization may have also configured some express links that allow CSRs to launch selected processes directly from links on the customer composite.
Executing Processes After you launch a business process, the action and interaction thumbnail areas change to display the information and processing options appropriate for that business process. In some cases, the system may present one or more screens to guide you through entry and selection and to confirm the data before submitting it to the database.

Processing work in Provider Services is controlled by workflows. Many of the flows interact with each other and determine which screens you see and what processing occurs in the background. Provider Services includes two types of workflows: Interaction flows and Service flows.
Interaction Workflows — used when CSRs interact with customers or contacts
Service Workflows — used to process customer service requests during an interaction
Customer Management Workflows — used to maintain links between customers, contacts, and providers.
You can view these flows through the Provider Services application using the class and flow names listed in the following tables.
The flows for the business processes are configured as part of two RuleSets:
PegaCPMHC —RuleSet containing flows (and other rules) common to member and provider services
PegaCPMHCPrv — RuleSet containing flows (and other rules) specific to provider services
Interaction Flows These flows are used when CSRs interact with providers and contacts.
Note: Some interaction flows have variations for the three types of interactions. These variations can be
found in the -Call, -InCorr, and -Research classes.
