Episode summary

In this episode of the Loop, Adam Lindsey, Director of Customer Service at HeliosX Group, breaks down the unique complexity of healthcare customer experience (CX). For example, in telemedicine, a single interaction often shifts an individual from “customer” to “patient” in seconds. This transition directly impacts clinical trust.

Drawing on over a decade of global leadership, Adam explains why a unified experience is a systemic requirement, not just a service goal. He explores the critical role of disciplined boundaries between clinical and non-clinical care, the ethics of responsible AI and why scaling care without compromising integrity requires every department to take ownership of the patient outcome.

From the speaker

“The job of customer service is to identify those errors, identify those pain points. It’s being that voice and shouting at people in other areas of the business where those failures are happening because you need to advocate for the customer.”

“The definition of how a customer can convert into a patient and a patient can convert into a customer is highly critical. In the world of customer service, the majority of our agents typically serve as customer service agents and provide an excellent experience. But the ability to connect the patient with the right person, both ways, is incredibly important.”

“AI is not a clinical tool. AI is a customer care tool. It shouldn’t just be cheaper and faster. It should be as good as speaking to a human.”
