Call Routing & Triage

Intelligent Call Routing and Triage with AI for AdvancedMD Practices

Use AI voice technology to screen, triage, and route incoming calls to the correct AdvancedMD provider or department based on symptoms, urgency, and clinical protocols.

How it pays back

Protect Clinical Capacity

AI screens calls to filter out appointment requests, billing questions, and non-urgent inquiries, so clinicians only receive calls that require clinical judgment.

Urgent Calls Are Never Missed

AI recognizes urgent keywords and immediately escalates to the provider or emergency line, reducing response time.

Faster Patient Routing

Instead of transferring through multiple staff, the AI gets context and routes directly to the right department or provider in AdvancedMD, reducing hold times.

Richer Handoff Notes

When the call transfers to staff, AdvancedMD displays AI-captured triage notes, reason for call, and urgency level, enabling faster resolution.

Urgent Call Escalation

High-priority calls flagged and routed immediately to on-call staff

Structured Triage Data

Chief complaint, severity, and clinical notes captured automatically

Provider-Specific Routing

AI routes to correct clinician based on specialization and availability in AdvancedMD

After-Hours Protocol Support

Follow defined escalation paths for evenings, weekends, and emergencies

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know which calls are truly urgent?

The AI listens for specific clinical keywords and immediately flags those as urgent. Practices can also customize urgency triggers in the AI configuration.

Can the AI recognize different types of calls (appointments vs. refills vs. billing)?

Yes. The AI asks brief qualifying questions and routes accordingly: appointment requests go to scheduling, prescription refills to the nurse line, and billing questions to the billing department—all tracked in AdvancedMD.

What happens if the AI cannot determine the call type?

If the caller's needs are unclear, the AI can escalate to a live staff member or offer callback options. The call context is passed to AdvancedMD so staff have full information.

Does the AI follow my practice's specific triage protocols?

Yes. Practices can define triage rules and routing logic aligned with their clinical protocols, and the AI applies those consistently to every incoming call.

How is patient safety ensured if urgent calls are triaged by AI?

AI triage is a screening layer; urgent calls are immediately handed to qualified staff or the on-call provider. The AI does not make clinical decisions—it only prioritizes routing and flags high-risk calls.
