Patients now judge healthcare organizations by the work surrounding an appointment, including whether a digital task can be finished and whether follow-up messages arrive in a useful order.

A retailer can lose the next order while sorting out the current one. Outsourced agents handling customer order problems need enough context to solve them without adding to the frustration.

A longtime customer realizes they missed the return window and contacts support hoping the company will understand. The agent responds warmly, but even this small exception has to be approved by someone else.
