CASE FILE · No. 006 · ON THE LINE

The line that finally stopped backing up at noon.

An independent pharmacy was taking 180 inbound calls a day: refills, 'is it ready yet,' prior-auth questions, and the pharmacist-owner was spending forty percent of her shift on the phone instead of at the counter. The worst stretch was the noon rush: three calls on hold, two people in line, a Medicare question that needed a pharmacist's license to answer. After Sara went live, she takes the refills, the pickup-status checks, and the insurance intake on her own, in the caller's language, and routes only the clinical questions to the pharmacist. The noon line stopped backing up. The owner got her counseling time back. And the regulars who used to hang up after the fourth ring now get an answer on the first.
