AI Reception for Migraine Acute Call Protocol

Asks structured migraine-specific questions: onset, severity, duration, aura presence, recent treatments
Captures current medication list and allergy status on first call—structured summary ready for clinical review
Routes calls flagged as severe or status migrainosus directly to on-call provider
Books routine follow-ups and new patient intakes without human receptionist touch
Integrates with named EMRs (athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, ModMed, Practice Fusion, Jane, Office Ally, TherapyNotes, Accuro, pMD, PS Suite, Nextech) to pull existing patient history and sync new appointments to schedule
Available after-hours and weekends to prevent missed acute migraine calls

How it pays back

Immediate triage of acute migraine calls

Calls are routed based on severity and symptoms in real time. Patients reporting status migrainosus, new neurological symptoms, or failed home treatment reach the provider immediately instead of waiting in voicemail.

Structured intake captures medication and trigger history

On the first call, the AI collects current abortive and preventive medications, known triggers, prior imaging, and recent ER visits. This structured summary is returned for your clinical staff to review and file in the chart.

Reduces no-shows and improves follow-up compliance

Appointment confirmations and pre-visit questionnaires are sent automatically. Patients hear a reminder call 24 hours before their visit, reducing missed appointments and chair-time delays.

Extends clinic capacity without adding staff

Routine intake, appointment booking, and pre-visit data collection happen on the call—not in your reception area. Your staff focuses on clinical workflows, not phone volume.

HIPAA-compliant and provider-aware

All calls are encrypted and logged. The system respects patient privacy, escalates appropriately, and routes to the right provider based on specialty and on-call schedule.

Call severity flagged in real time

Acute migraine calls routed to provider without queue delay

Structured migraine intake on first contact

Medication, trigger, and symptom history captured and summarized for chart review

HIPAA compliant (verified by Compliancy Group) and encrypted

All patient data secured and audit-logged for compliance

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know if a migraine call is truly urgent?

The AI asks targeted questions about headache severity (pain scale), duration, presence of aura or focal neurological symptoms, nausea/vomiting, and whether home treatments have been tried. Responses flagged as severe or concerning—such as first migraine, thunderclap onset, or suspected status migrainosus—are immediately escalated to the on-call provider. Your clinical staff can adjust the escalation rules based on your practice protocols.

What if the caller is a new patient with no prior history in our system?

The AI captures their name, date of birth, phone, and insurance information on the call and syncs those to your EMR to create a new patient record. It asks migraine-specific history questions (prior diagnoses, current medications, triggers, prior imaging). This structured summary is returned for your staff to verify and file for the provider to review before the visit.

Can the AI pull medication history from our EHR automatically?

If the patient is already in your system, yes—the AI can look up their name and DOB, pull their allergy and medication list from the EHR, and confirm those details on the call. For new patients, the AI captures medications verbally and those are returned as a structured summary for your staff to verify and file.

What happens to the call summary after the AI transfers to a provider?

The structured summary—including migraine severity, medications, triggers, symptom timeline, and any urgent flags—is immediately available to the provider. They can review it in your EHR before picking up the call, reducing call time and improving clinical decision-making.

Does this require changes to our current phone system or EHR?

No. The AI integrates with your existing phone line and named EMRs (athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, ModMed, Practice Fusion, Jane, Office Ally, TherapyNotes, Accuro, pMD, PS Suite, Nextech). Appointments and new patient demographics are synced to your EHR. Your staff uses the system the same way they do now.
