Hours & Access
After-hours calls go to voicemail and are lost until morning. AI answering captures the caller, qualifies urgency, and escalates critical cases to on-call staff immediately.
A patient with severe symptoms leaves a voicemail at 11pm and waits until 8am for a callback. AI triage sends the call to your on-call provider in seconds, reducing patient risk and liability.
Instead of playing back voicemails, your on-call team receives a structured summary: patient name, chief complaint, and triage level. They can respond to the exact problem.
Non-urgent calls are logged with patient details, reason for call, and requested appointment time. Staff arrives to an organized queue, not a voicemail inbox.
A caller booking an appointment after hours is added to your queue with full demographics so your team confirms the slot in the morning without a phone tag.

Yes. The AI checks availability in your calendar and books the appointment if a slot is open. If the requested time is full, it can offer alternatives or add the caller to a waitlist.
The AI uses keyword detection and symptom analysis. A caller saying they are having chest pain, difficulty breathing, or other emergency symptoms will be escalated regardless of their assessment of urgency.
Yes. You provide the on-call schedule and contact information, and the AI pages, texts, or calls the current on-call provider based on urgency. This integrates with your scheduling system or our interface.
