8x8 Triage

AI detects urgent calls on your 8x8 line and escalates to on-call providers automatically

The AI receptionist monitors inbound 8x8 calls for urgent and emergency language, flags high-risk symptoms, and immediately escalates to your on-call team or emergency protocols.

How it pays back

Real-Time Emergency Detection

The AI listens for urgent keywords and symptomatic patterns. A caller reporting chest pain or difficulty breathing is flagged and escalated in seconds, not minutes.

No Delayed Voicemail for Emergencies

Urgent callers don't hit your voicemail. The AI detects the emergency, alerts your on-call provider via 8x8 or callback, and stays on the line with the caller.

Structured Clinical Handoff

When the AI escalates an urgent call, it provides the on-call provider with a summary of symptoms, caller info, and call recording. Your provider has context before picking up.

24/7 Urgent Monitoring

After hours, weekends, holidays: your 8x8 main line is monitored for emergencies. Urgent calls trigger your on-call protocol without your staff needing to answer first.

Urgent calls escalated immediately

Emergency keywords and symptoms detected in real time

On-call provider alerted via 8x8 or callback

Direct routing to on-call team without voicemail dead-ends

Clinical summary provided with escalation

Symptoms, caller details, and call recording sent to provider

Frequently asked questions

What counts as an urgent call?

The AI flags calls mentioning chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe allergic reaction, unconsciousness, heavy bleeding, suspected stroke, or other life-threatening symptoms. You can customize urgent keywords for your practice.

How does the AI escalate to my on-call provider?

The AI can route urgent calls directly to an 8x8 extension or callback number assigned to your on-call provider. You configure on-call routing in your settings.

What information goes to the on-call provider?

The on-call provider receives caller name and phone, chief complaint, and reported symptoms as a structured summary and call recording. Your provider reviews this context and decides next steps.

Does this work after hours?

Yes. After-hours calls to your 8x8 main line are monitored for urgent keywords. Emergencies are escalated to your on-call provider immediately.

What if a caller doesn't describe their issue as urgent?

The AI listens for symptom language, not just the word 'urgent.' A caller describing chest pain or severe symptoms is flagged even if they don't say it's an emergency.
