The Problem: Managing Urgent Home Infusion Therapy Calls Created Operational Challenges
PromptCare, a home infusion provider specializing in IVIG therapies and biologics needed a reliable way to manage urgent after-hours patient calls. For patients experiencing critical events, rapid response times are essential. However, the organization’s previous on-call process required multiple layers of communication and placed a significant burden on clinical staff.
Key challenges included:
- Complex after-hours call management workflows
- Too many team members involved in the on-call process
- Difficulty efficiently routing urgent patient calls to the appropriate clinician
- Increased risk of staff burnout due to constant on-call responsibilities
- Limited work-life balance for nurses and pharmacists managing after-hours communications
As a result, PromptCare needed a more efficient and streamlined solution to manage urgent patient communications while reducing operational burden.
The Solution: A Centralized, Easy-to-Use Call Management App
PromptCare implemented Clarus to simplify after-hours communication and ensure urgent patient needs were routed quickly to the appropriate clinician.
Key capabilities included:

The Problem: Slow Patient Response Times Led to Patient Dissatisfaction and Staff Burnout
Before implementing Clarus, CoreLife did not have a formal call management system in place. Incoming patient calls were routed directly to voicemail whenever front desk staff were busy with in-clinic patients.
This created several operational challenges:
- No structured process for managing or following up on patient calls
- Front desk staff overwhelmed by a constant stream of incoming calls
- Limited time for staff to complete other essential daily responsibilities
- Reduced ability to deliver a coordinated, high-quality patient experience
As a result, staff were stretched thin, and clinic efficiency and patient communication suffered.
