Agentic AI Nurse Support and Triage for Parents, Caregivers, and Families

The pediatric nurse triage AI agent is a HIPAA-compliant, voice- and text-enabled chatbot that replicated live clinical call center protocols to direct new parents to appropriate levels of care in real time.

Integrated into CRM and call center workflows, the AI platform improved access, reduced unnecessary clinical volume, and enhanced both operational efficiency and member satisfaction—especially for families navigating newborn care.

The solution supported secure, emotionally attuned communication across platforms, including web, phone, messaging apps, and mobile. The product was built as part of Anthem’s next-generation AI engagement platform, which centralized member tools across provider access, claims, benefits, personalized wellness goals, fitness tracking, billing, and rewards.

Outcomes

  • CAHPS top-box +6 pts (12 mos) on access/experience (Getting Care Quickly, Customer Service, Plan Rating).
  • HEDIS gains (12–24 mos) on PPC – Prenatal & Postpartum Care, Avoided ED (AMB), and Follow-Up After ED.
  • +12 pts in in-network match-to-book (pediatric specialists) → stronger retention/steerage.
  • 37% faster time-to-care from first contact to scheduled visit → improved access/activation.
  • 23% fewer non-emergent ED visits → reduced avoidable utilization via guided navigation.
  • 25% fewer unnecessary urgent care visits → optimized site of care and cost.
  • +25 NPS lift → improved CAHPS drivers (access, communication, overall plan rating).
