Migraine Care
After-hours AI reception captures acute migraine call details, asks screening questions for red-flag symptoms, and routes urgent cases to on-call provider or emergency guidance without patient hold time.
Dangerous headache patterns (thunderclap, sudden focal neurological deficit, severe presentation atypical for patient) are caught and escalated to emergency care or urgent provider, not queued as routine callback.
When the provider is paged about an after-hours acute migraine call, they receive the structured intake—patient name, symptom severity, onset, current meds—not a generic 'migraine patient needs callback' message.
Manageable acute migraines are routed to phone-based assessment and medication guidance. Patients don't default to ER because they couldn't reach anyone.
Legitimate urgent migraine calls and red-flag patterns reach the provider. Routine refills, scheduling questions, and low-acuity voicemails don't. On-call time is used efficiently.
After-hours calls answered
Migraine patients reach a live system day or night; no voicemail capture
Red-flag symptoms escalated
Thunderclap, new neuro deficits, or status migrainosus routed to provider or emergency guidance immediately
On-call provider has full context
Structured intake with patient info, symptom detail, and current medication status ready before callback
Interim guidance provided
Patients receive medication and comfort recommendations while awaiting provider callback
Your protocol defines the red-flag criteria. For example: thunderclap onset, sudden new neurological symptoms, altered mental status, or severe vomiting indicating possible status migrainosus or secondary emergency triggers a 911 recommendation. Other acute migraines route to on-call provider. The AI applies your rules consistently.
Yes. Your protocol can include interim guidance: rest in a dark room, hydration, medication timing (e.g., 'If you haven't taken your triptan yet, this is a good time'), and when to call back if symptoms worsen. The AI provides these recommendations while the provider is being paged.
Your protocol defines escalation: automatic 911 recommendation, on-call backup contact, or ER referral. The AI follows your routing rules and doesn't leave the patient in limbo. Timing and backup contacts are configurable.
Yes. The AI can ask how many days the patient has used acute migraine medication this month. If the response suggests medication overuse headache (15+ days), that pattern is flagged in the intake summary and routed to the on-call provider, who may provide additional guidance.
Yes. If the acute call determines that urgent office assessment is needed (e.g., new severe pattern, possible secondary cause), the AI can offer next-day urgent slots and book the appointment. Appointment details write to your EMR and the patient receives confirmation.
