Multi-Location
Multi-location practices struggle with after-hours call routing: patients call the wrong location, messages don't transfer, and urgent cases slip between sites. AI phone software routes every after-hours call intelligently based on location, urgency, and availability.
AI greets with a location selector or identifies the caller's preferred site automatically. All calls route correctly — no more transferred calls, no lost messages, no patient frustration.
Instead of each location running its own on-call service, one shared AI answers all calls and routes urgent cases to the pool of on-call providers. More efficient, more reliable, lower cost per location.
A patient calling after hours can book at their preferred location or accept an opening at a nearby clinic — all confirmed in real time, all synced to the correct site's chart.
Every after-hours call, regardless of location, is logged centrally. Leadership sees which sites are busy, which have high urgent volume, and which are handling callbacks well — data to improve scheduling and staffing.

The AI can ask, 'Which location would you prefer?' or pull phone number, prior history, or geographic data to infer location. Patients are given a choice but can also be routed by proximity if calling about urgent care.
The AI can route overflow calls to the next nearest location or to an on-call provider pool shared across locations. Your practice sets the rules — prioritize nearest, or distribute by availability.
Yes. Urgent care may have one triage protocol, primary care another. The AI can be configured per location or per call type. Urgent calls might always go to a shared on-call pool; routine appointments might route locally.
Yes. The AI integrates with your central EMR and sees all locations' real-time availability. When a patient books, they can see options across locations or be routed to the preferred site.
Billing can be centralized (network pays for AI) or split per location. Most practices use a shared cost model because the AI serves all sites. Per-location call metrics are tracked for transparency.
The AI can transfer to any provider in your network based on specialty and availability. All triage data, patient demographics, and reason for call sync to the provider's view, regardless of location.
