24/7 Call Handling
Automatically answer and log after-hours calls with patient intake data, then queue callbacks or escalate urgent calls. Reduce missed revenue and improve patient satisfaction.
Calls that would have gone to voicemail or been abandoned are now captured, logged, and converted to appointments or urgent care referrals.
Urgent calls trigger real-time alerts to your on-call clinician. Non-urgent calls are logged in a callback queue that your staff manages during business hours.
Callers with genuine emergencies are immediately routed to 911 or your designated emergency protocol. Patients with urgent-but-not-emergency issues get prioritized callbacks.
No need to hire dedicated night-shift receptionists. The AI handles all call intake, routing, and logging. Staff review and act on callbacks during normal hours.

The AI is trained on medical triage protocols. It listens for keywords and symptom descriptions (chest pain, difficulty breathing, trauma, allergic reaction, severe bleeding) and immediately escalates those calls to your on-call provider or designated emergency line. Non-urgent calls (appointment requests, refill questions) are queued for next-business-day callback.
The AI explains that the office is closed but offers to take detailed information and notify the on-call provider if urgent, or schedule a callback for morning. Callers can opt for immediate callback if your on-call provider is available.
Yes. If the call is urgent but not life-threatening, the AI can offer immediate urgent care or ER referral information, or page your on-call provider to approve an emergency slot. All details are logged for your records.
All calls are encrypted and stored in HIPAA-certified infrastructure. No recording or transcript is shared outside your practice. Staff access call logs only through authenticated portal login.
Your staff receive a daily summary of pending callbacks, sorted by urgency and time of call. SMS reminders can be sent to patients so they know a callback is coming. Priority callbacks are made first.
