Migraine Care
Migraine clinics managing chronic conditions need a protocol for after-hours acute exacerbations. AI answers status migrainosus and urgent migraine calls 24/7, captures symptom severity, and escalates to on-call staff or urgent care pathways without delay—eliminating missed urgent calls.
A patient in status migrainosus (migraine lasting >72 hours) calls at 11 p.m. AI flags the duration, on-call provider is texted, and the patient is told to go to urgent care or ER, or on-call calls them back immediately. No voicemail, no guess-work.
Your clinician gets a text with the patient's name, history, current symptoms, and why the call came in. They decide: call back and prescribe, route to ER, or suggest urgent care. They are informed, not surprised.
Every after-hours call is answered and triaged. Your clinic has a record of when the call came in, what was captured, and who it was routed to. No 'I called at midnight and no one answered' complaints.
Mild exacerbations, medication questions, and refill requests are captured and scheduled for morning callback with priority flagging. On-call is contacted only for genuinely urgent situations.
AI can access patient history from your EMR during the call. On-call provider receives a summary of the patient's migraine pattern, preventive regimen, and past ER visits—not just the current complaint.
Acute triage in real time
Status migrainosus, new neurological signs, and severe refractory cases flagged for on-call review
On-call alerted with context
Provider receives text with patient summary so they make informed routing decisions
Call captured and documented
Every after-hours interaction is logged, triaged, and routed—audit trail complete
Your provider receives a text or push notification with the patient's name, MRN, chief complaint (status migrainosus), onset time, current medications tried, and any red flags mentioned (vision changes, fever, neck stiffness). They can then call the patient, review the chart, and direct them to urgent care or ER.
The system escalates urgent calls to your provider and can suggest common pathways (e.g., 'This patient needs urgent care or ER'), but the final routing decision is made by your on-call clinician. Your clinic defines the escalation thresholds and protocols.
The system captures the complaint, asks triage questions, and schedules a callback at the first available morning slot with high priority. Patient is told: 'We've documented your call and our team will reach out first thing in the morning with options.' They get a callback reminder via SMS.
Your clinic sets the escalation thresholds in the MedReception admin portal or via your EMR settings. Examples: status migrainosus (>72 hours) = on-call alert; mild exacerbation + established preventive = morning callback. You can adjust protocols anytime.
If a patient asks for their regular provider, the system can offer on-call coverage and explain that their primary provider is available the next business day. For urgent issues, on-call is the available clinician after-hours.
