## Centralizing Operations for Patient Access
- Focusing on optimizing conversion through corporate governance and infrastructure upgrades.

## Current Operational Landscape
- Identified a fragmented workforce where Unit SPOCs report to local Unit Heads.
- Decentralization creates silos and limits visibility into the appointment pipeline.

## Key Challenges & Pain Points
- Inconsistent handling of appointment calls.
- Conflicts of focus between operations and conversion targets.
- Hardware and software outages causing booking interruptions.
- Lack of virtual number tracking at hospital levels.

## Current Conversion Performance
- Baseline appointment conversion rate is currently 6%.
- 94% of potential leads are lost or missed due to lack of centralized tracking.

## Strategic Realignment
- Proposal to shift reporting lines from Unit Heads to a Corporate Head.
- Goal: Unify the team, standardize processes, and aggressive oversight.

## Technology & Infrastructure Improvements
- Implementation of Virtual Numbers for call tracking.
- Requirement for upgraded hardware and robust software to ensure 0% interruption.

## Operational Workflow & Shifts
- Corporate Team window: 06:00 AM to 11:00 PM.
- Introduction of a dedicated Night Manager and streamlined morning follow-ups.
- New resource allocation for peak hours.

## Impact Projection: Conversion Uplift
- Projected relative increase in conversion efficiency: 60-70%.
- Target goal: Moving from a 6% conversion rate to a projected 10.2%.

## Implementation Roadmap
1. Budget approval for headcount and hardware.
2. Virtual number integration.
3. Transfer of reporting lines to Corporate.
4. Commencement of extended 6AM-11PM operations.
