Call Handling
Inbound urgent calls in Mesa are detected by AI, immediately escalated to your on-call provider, and triaged to the ER if needed — ensuring no emergency caller waits in voicemail.
Caller describes symptoms; AI identifies emergency keywords and immediately alerts your on-call provider with caller details. No hold, no callback request—urgent cases get priority in real-time.
Every inbound call is answered by AI. True emergencies are escalated immediately. Chest pain, severe bleeding, and other life-threatening conditions are detected and triaged.
AI provides instructions on when to call 911, advises waiting for provider callback, or directs to urgent care. Reduces anxiety and improves safety.
Escalation alert includes caller name, phone, chief complaint, and any relevant patient history captured on the call. Provider can respond immediately with full context.
All urgent call interactions are recorded, timestamped, and stored securely. Transcript and escalation log provide clear documentation of response and triage decision.
AI handles routine calls (appointment scheduling, callbacks) concurrently with urgent escalations. Your on-call provider is never blocked by routine phone traffic.

The AI detects 'chest pain' as an emergency keyword and immediately sends an alert to your on-call provider with the caller's name, phone number, and a summary of their description. The provider receives this in seconds and can call back directly or instruct the AI to guide the caller to 911.
Yes. The AI recognizes emergency keywords (chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, loss of consciousness, etc.) and prioritizes them for immediate escalation. Routine calls (appointment requests, callback questions) are handled normally through the booking workflow.
The system will retry the on-call number and also alert your backup provider if configured. If no provider responds within a set time, you can configure the AI to advise the caller to call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
