Case Study
CTG helped implement Hospital for Special Surgery’s Service Desk for Epic MyChart, and our analysts provided first-level support of issues, documented each issue in the ticketing system, and adhered to agreed-upon workflows for issue escalation between support desks, all on a 24x7 basis. As a result, more than 97% of incidents were resolved on the first call, calls were answered in an average of 23 seconds, and resolution of in-scope issues exceeded 99%—all leading to increased patient portal adoption.
