Why It Matters

Answer Every Patient Call

No more missed calls or long hold times. AI answers immediately in patient language, even during peak hours or after-hours emergencies.

Intelligent Triage & Routing

Clinical AI categorizes calls by urgency (acute vs. routine) and routes to appropriate staff, reducing provider time spent on routine inquiries.

Seamless Telehealth Integration

Patients can request virtual visits during calls. MedReception routes to Telus, Maple, or your chosen Canadian telehealth platform automatically.

Reduce Phone Anxiety for Frontline Staff

Receptionists manage fewer incoming calls, reducing stress and allowing focus on in-person patient interactions and administrative tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the AI phone system HIPAA/PIPEDA compliant?

Yes. All calls are encrypted, recordings are stored securely in Canada, and transcripts are automatically logged to your EMR with full audit trails.

Can patients speak to a human if needed?

Absolutely. The AI recognizes requests for a human and seamlessly transfers to available staff or queues the call with an estimated callback time.

How does it handle after-hours calls?

After-hours, the AI can offer callback scheduling, connect to on-call providers, or route to emergency services if the call indicates urgent need.

What happens if the AI doesn't understand a patient request?

The system escalates unclear requests to a human agent or offers callback options. It continuously learns from interactions to improve understanding.
