Call Routing
Let AI intelligently route inbound calls based on urgency, chief complaint, and staff availability. Urgent cases reach clinical staff in seconds. Routine requests are handled autonomously.
AI detects emergency keywords like 'chest pain,' 'severe bleeding,' 'allergic reaction.' Matching calls route to staff immediately, not to voicemail queues.
Staff are interrupted only when necessary. Routine calls are handled by AI — appointment requests, billing questions, general office info. This preserves clinical time for patient care.
AI knows your staff roster, their specialties, and current availability. It routes calls to the right provider or department, not to whoever answers first.
When AI transfers a call to staff, all captured information (patient name, chief complaint, symptoms) is passed along as a structured summary. Staff understand the situation before picking up.
Outside business hours, AI follows your defined protocol: route to on-call, take a message, or handle autonomously. No calls fall through the cracks.

Context-preserving transfers
All call information passed to staff so they pick up without repeating questions
You define urgency triggers. The AI listens for specific keywords and phrases (chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, etc.) and routes matching calls to staff immediately.
The AI errs on the side of caution and routes borderline cases to staff. Your protocols determine the threshold for escalation.
Yes. You can configure routing rules based on chief complaint, patient history, or provider specialty. AI routes to the most appropriate provider when available.
The AI can queue the call, schedule a callback, or (for non-urgent cases) handle the request autonomously. Your protocol defines the fallback behavior.
The system integrates with your practice management system or phone system. Staff mark themselves as in-call, on break, or available. AI respects real-time status.
No. After hours, urgent calls route to your on-call provider or emergency protocol. Non-urgent calls are handled by AI or taken as messages for morning callback.
