Amtelco Attends HIMSS25 and Introduces Ellie® an AI-Powered Intelligent Virtual Agent

Amtelco will be an exhibitor at the HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition.

MCFARLAND, Wis., Feb. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Amtelco announced they will attend the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) annual conference for the 27^th consecutive year. HIMSS25 will be held on March 3-6, 2025, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Amtelco can be found at booth 1521.

Amtelco is excited to introduce its latest innovation called Ellie® at HIMSS25. Ellie supports operators when call centers experience overwhelming call volumes due to limited staffing or peak-hour traffic conditions. Ellie reduces caller wait times with automation and intelligent call processing. Key features of Ellie include the following:

• Automate Live Calls – Choose which calls to automatically direct to Ellie based on your criteria, including call volume and wait times.
• Transfer Live Calls to Ellie – Agents can pass callers to Ellie to complete the call, perform surveys, or handle other services.
• Utilize Existing Scripts – Ellie understands the entire script and can perform advanced scripting functions.

"Ellie supports hospital contact centers by working with agents to serve callers better and reduce operator workload," said Tom Curtin, CEO of Amtelco. "Ellie handles basic inquiries using a large language model (LLM) with natural language processing (NLP). NLP enables Ellie to speak and understand speech like a human for a more life-like feel. Together, Ellie and your agents create a call experience that offers unparalleled service to patients and staff while providing cost-savings and scalability to your hospital call center."

Ellie is the nickname of Eleanor Curtin, one of Amtelco's co-founders and matriarch of the Curtin family who still owns and operates Amtelco. The name Ellie was purposefully chosen to honor the legacy of "Mrs. C" and to stress the importance of this product to Amtelco and its customers.
