A Duke Raleigh Hospital Case Study

  Communicating When Other Media Cant

  How does this simple, yet powerful messaging system grab and captivate callers
  attention delivering results when other media falls short?
  Duke Raleigh Hospital, a 186-bed member of the Duke University Health System in Raleigh, North
  Carolina, has figured it out. A SoundCare client for several years, Duke Raleigh first implemented
  SoundCare to replace music on hold with more effective messaging to address service excellence
  initiatives and inform their callers who waited on hold.

  A simple and practical initiative with farreaching impact.         We created a SoundView with our
                                                                 president and, with the recording in his

  services, events, accolades, and more. Audiences include        the phone. The fact that the president
  current patients, employees, and physicians, and feedback          delivered it personally made all the
  about the messages has been positive. SoundCare raises                        difference in the world.

  our organization, says Jacqueline Brown, senior public
  relations specialist.

  Through SoundCare, Duke Raleigh has been able to recognize employees and staff, and integrates
  hospital awards into their monthly SoundCare programs. SoundCare has been a useful tool when
  promoting a variety of service lines across our hospital, says Paige Humble, director of marketing
  and communications.
A simple communications tool, SoundCares effectiveness is farreaching. In this era of say it and
say it again marketing, other media does not afford the opportunity to repeat messages and do
so effectively. SoundCare is a good tool that allows us to continuously highlight messages that are
sometimes difficult to highlight in other mediums, adds Brown.

An integral part of marketing campaigns, SoundCare has clearly become a part of the Duke Raleigh
culture, working in tandem with other marketing materials to get the word out. SoundCare
complements our other media, but is clearly different by enabling us to address and promote
multiple activities and services at the same time, and get the word out repeatedly without
becoming old, says Humble.

Another best-kept secret is the ability for marketers to personalize their SoundCare messages on
hold. We created a SoundView with our president and, with the recording in his own voice, callers
actually thought he was speaking to them personally on the phone, says Brown. The message
was about what our hospital values and how much we care about the community, and the fact that
the president delivered it personally made all the difference in the world. This SoundView worked
so well that marketing plans to use the voice of their CNO to talk about the value of nursing in an
upcoming program, and to reach out to the HR director for a personal message on employment
opportunities.

When a simple tool is a best-kept secret, it often gets overlooked. And, in many cases, simple works
best. SoundCare is not only easy-to-use, but its also a positive way to communicate with our
callers, says Humble.

This might just be one best-kept secret Duke Raleigh is willing to share
