The study assesses the impact of conversational scripts used by an intelligent consultation robot on the daily operations of vaccination clinics, with the aim of exploring its role in enhancing preventive vaccination services. A pilot project of the intelligent consultation robot system was conducted at the vaccination clinic of Minglou Street Community Health Service Center in Yinzhou District, Ningbo City, where the iteration process of the robot's conversational scripts and logs of call interactions with users were meticulously documented. Using call data collected from January to May 2024, a pre-post comparison research method was employed to analyze the impact of script iterations on operational efficiency, labor costs, and customer satisfaction. The refinement of conversational scripts allowed the robot to manage user inquiries more effectively, enhancing the interaction experience and reducing reliance on manual services.
