Reston, VA - May 24, 2007 - eStara, a leading provider of proactive conversion solutions for enhancing online sales and support initiatives, today announced that the Detroit Medical Center, which has more than 2,000 licensed beds and 3,000 affiliated physicians, is using eStara Click to Call on its patient-facing Website. Click to Call is helping users who are looking to speak with a nurse, schedule appointments or locate a doctor receive more immediate, effective care.
"The Detroit Medical Center is committed to providing the very best care to its patients, and that requires offering cutting-edge customer-facing technology like eStara's Click to Call," said Ken Bearden, Corporate Marketing Director, Detroit Medical Center.
With medical situations often requiring instant attention, eStara's Click to Call buttons automatically route callers instantly to the appropriate department. In fact, a report from Forrester Research's Healthcare & Life Sciences research practice found that click to call solutions help escalate to assisted service more seamlessly than other contact methods.
