Veterinary ServicesClient Communication & Experience3MediumOwner$ implied
Clients are using the emergency paging line for non-emergency appointment scheduling on weekends and after hours, leading to frustration and unnecessary alerts for the on-call veterinarian.
The current emergency line and paging service do not effectively filter non-emergency calls or direct clients to an appropriate after-hours scheduling option, causing burnout and disruption.
