AdvancedMD Workflows

After-hours callers get answers and a confirmed callback slot, all synced back to your AdvancedMD calendar

AdvancedMD practices can keep after-hours callers from voicemail: the AI answers, offers available callback times from your AdvancedMD calendar, and queues the callback for your staff to complete.

How it pays back

After-hours callers don't hang up angry

They reach a live voice, get offered a real callback time slot, and know when to expect a call back. No 'leave a message and we'll call you sometime tomorrow.'

Your calendar stays accurate and fair

Callback slots are pulled from AdvancedMD in real time, so you never overbook. Fairness—first caller to book gets first callback slot—is automatic.

Staff see a clean callback worklist

All after-hours callbacks appear in AdvancedMD (or in your staff worklist) the next morning, organized by time. Your team works through the list without re-entry.

Urgent after-hours calls still get escalated

If a patient says they're experiencing chest pain or other critical symptoms after hours, the AI escalates to your on-call provider immediately, not to a callback queue.

Frequently asked questions

What times count as 'after-hours' for our AdvancedMD practice?

You set the hours. Typical after-hours is after 5 PM weekdays, and all day Saturday/Sunday. We can customize by provider or location if you have multiple sites with different schedules.

How does the AI know which callback times to offer?

We pull your AdvancedMD schedule every few minutes. The AI sees open slots for the next business day and offers the first three available times. Once a patient picks a time, it's reserved on the calendar.

Can we set a maximum number of after-hours callbacks per day?

Yes. If you want to limit callbacks to, say, 20 per day, we can configure that. Once the limit is hit, the AI will offer to put the caller on a waitlist for later days.

What if an after-hours caller says it's urgent?

The AI asks screening questions to identify urgency. If the patient has chest pain, difficulty breathing, or other red flags, the call escalates to your on-call provider immediately. Otherwise, they're offered a standard callback.

Do callback appointments show up in my AdvancedMD schedule automatically?

Yes. Confirmed callbacks are created as appointments in AdvancedMD and assigned to the available provider or to a 'callbacks' queue. Staff can see them on the calendar or in a dedicated worklist the next morning.
