The reality is that health services are dealing with rising volumes of patients as well as increased pressure on the system due to COVID-19 procedures. This presents challenges to pre and post operative phone call processes including:

Repeatedly calling patients when they do not answer
Phone calls taking up to 1 hour for high-risk patients or those with complex needs
