After-Hours
After-hours call handling for Canadian medical practices. Routes urgent calls to on-call providers, captures patient information, and ensures no emergency goes missed overnight or on weekends.
Urgent calls are immediately routed to the on-call provider. Routine inquiries are captured with full details so your team can respond first thing in the morning. No more missed-call voicemail backlogs.
The AI captures the patient's name, chart status, chief complaint, and urgency level. The on-call provider answering the alert already knows what they're walking into, reducing confusion and response time.
The system learns your practice's urgency patterns and asks targeted questions. Patients requesting refills or appointment info are routed to a callback list; genuinely urgent symptoms go straight to the provider.

The system asks screening questions about symptoms—chest pain, difficulty breathing, loss of consciousness, severe bleeding, etc. If the patient reports red-flag symptoms, the call is immediately escalated to your on-call provider. Routine questions (prescription refills, appointment times, test results) are captured for callback.
Yes. The AI can route urgent calls to phone-based on-call schedules, SMS alerts, or text-to-pager services. Your on-call provider receives notification with the caller's information and chief complaint.
The system can retry the provider's phone or secondary contact, escalate to a backup on-call number, or prompt the caller to contact the local emergency department for life-threatening situations. Your practice sets the escalation protocol.
The call is captured with the patient's name, symptoms, and urgency level and returned as a structured, EMR-pasteable summary. Your staff reviews it and files it into the chart the next business day so it becomes part of the medical record.
