Emergency Dispatching can be customized to Telephone Answering
Service clients' specifications in a number of ways. For instance,
drop down menus with typical job types can be customized to client
specifications, and emergency dispatch can be performed according
to the type of job. A more simplistic stance is to leave emergency
dispatching decisions up to the customer. For instance, in our
medical example, the operator can ask a the caller, "Would
you like me to contact the on call doctor?", or "Is
this an emergency?" Based on the patient response, the computer
system will instruct the operator to use the message delivery
option selected by the customer.
With Telephone Answering Service, dropped calls are a thing of
the past. TAS customers are able to monitor their emergency calls
from anywhere in the world as long as there is an internet connection
or telephone. Improper call routing and contacting the wrong on
call are a relic of the past. Guaranteeing the information collected
from callers, and backing that information up with full time call
recording enables Telephone Answering Service to provide unparalleled
quality, reliability, and accuracy when it comes to emergency
dispatching.
