Problem
Why teams need a structured script
Post-visit follow-up improves outcomes but nurses lack time to call every patient. Improvised calls sometimes cross into unauthorized medical advice.

Full patient follow-up script (English)
Agent: Hello, this is Ananya calling from City Hospital follow-up care. This call may be recorded. I'm checking in after your visit on Monday — do you have two minutes? Customer: Yes, I'm okay mostly. Agent: Glad to hear it. Are you taking the prescribed medication at the scheduled times? Customer: Yes, twice daily after meals. Agent: Good. Any severe pain, fever above 101, or unusual bleeding since the visit? Customer: No, nothing like that. Agent: I cannot provide medical advice — if anything worsens, please call our nurse line at 1800-XXX. Shall I book your review appointment for next Thursday? Customer: Yes, Thursday works. Agent: Booked — SMS confirmation sent. If you'd prefer not to receive future follow-up calls, tell me now. Customer: Follow-ups are fine. Agent: Thank you — take care and we'll see you Thursday.

- TRAI and patient consent?
- Service transactional template with consent captured at registration. Disclosure and opt-out required.
- Telemedicine regulations?
- This is follow-up coordination, not teleconsultation. Do not use for new symptom assessment.
- Recording sensitive health data?
- Recordings stored per DPDP and clinic policy — minimize PHI in transcripts where possible.
- Patient opts out?
- Suppress follow-up calls; emergency contact paths remain via clinical policy.
