Mental Health
Mental health practices in Fresno field crisis calls outside office hours and during peak times. MedReception's AI answers every call, captures the caller's state and presenting concern, and escalates high-risk situations to your on-call clinician or crisis protocol immediately. Your rules, your escalation threshold, your clinical judgment.

You define what triggers an immediate alert to your on-call clinician: certain keywords, caller tone, or stated intent. The AI captures and flags; your clinician decides. No autonomous clinical judgment, no missed crises because the call rolled to voicemail.
When a caller is in distress, the AI gathers name, contact, current state, and reason for calling in a clean summary. Your on-call provider sees the full picture in seconds, not fragments from a voicemail.
Set your escalation protocol once. Whether it's 9 PM, Sunday, or a holiday, every call follows the same path. No after-hours staff juggling; no calls slipping through because someone didn't check the machine.
Caller information and the structured summary are captured and returned to your staff as EMR-pasteable notes. New patient demographics and appointment bookings sync to your EMR; existing patients' call details are ready for your team to review and file.

You set the escalation rules during onboarding. The AI listens for keywords, caller tone, or stated concerns you define (e.g., 'suicidal', 'harming myself', 'crisis'). When triggered, it alerts your on-call clinician with the caller's full context. Your clinician makes the clinical decision.
The AI answers immediately, captures the caller's state and concern, and triggers your escalation protocol. Your on-call provider is alerted with the structured summary. If your protocol routes to 911, the AI can transfer or provide that number. You control the flow.
No. The AI captures what the caller says and routes based on your rules. Your clinician receives the full intake and decides next steps. The AI never diagnoses, prescribes, or overrides your judgment.
Your on-call clinician receives an alert (phone call, SMS, or push notification, depending on your setup) with the caller's summary. The full intake is also logged in MedReception and can be reviewed by your team for filing or follow-up.
The AI fields them all. Appointment requests, refill questions, and check-ins are captured and queued for your morning staff. Only calls that meet your escalation criteria alert your on-call provider.
