ICAN should be utilized in which types of situations?

• A. Whenever there is an opportunity to make it right and better serve the member
• B. Only during emergencies
• C. Only during escalations
• D. Never

Answer: (A)

ICAN is a mindset of taking action to fix what isn’t right and to improve the member’s experience whenever you have the chance. The best use of this approach is to apply it in every situation where you can make things better for the member, not just in obvious crises.

By acting whenever there’s an opportunity to set things right, you address issues promptly, demonstrate accountability, and show genuine commitment to excellent service. This keeps trust intact and can prevent small problems from growing into bigger frustrations. For example, if a billing error occurs or a service falls short, applying ICAN means acknowledging the mistake, correcting it, communicating what’s being done, and following up to ensure satisfaction. That proactive recovery plus a drive to prevent recurrence strengthens the relationship with the member.

If you limited ICAN to emergencies or escalations, you’d miss chances to improve experiences in everyday interactions and to stop issues from escalating in the first place. And never using ICAN would ignore opportunities to care for the member and uphold service standards.
