Workflow
Keep pain clinic phone lines staffed 24/7 without permanent night staff. AI triages after-hours calls to distinguish routine questions from acute pain emergencies, injection reactions, and post-procedure complications.
When a patient calls with acute post-procedure pain or suspected complication, the AI connects them to your on-call provider instead of leaving a voicemail. Provider gets full context before the call.
Most after-hours calls are non-urgent follow-up questions. The AI identifies those and logs them for morning callback, so your provider is only woken for genuine emergencies.
When the AI connects an urgent call to the on-call provider, it presents pain location, symptom timeline, current treatments, and any prior authorization or imaging details. No provider fumbling with patient records at midnight.
A centralized AI triage line eliminates the risk of emergency calls going unanswered or stuck in a voicemail queue. Every after-hours call is answered and routed appropriately.
Urgent escalation
Acute post-procedure or infection concerns reach on-call provider immediately
Clinical context ready
Pain history, medications, and procedure details prepared for provider handoff
Routine calls logged
Non-urgent callback requests queued for morning staff without provider interruption
The AI asks about symptom onset, severity, red flags like fever or spreading numbness, and proximity to the procedure. It uses clinical decision rules to identify likely emergencies (e.g., post-injection infection signs) and routes those immediately to the on-call provider.
The AI captures the pain level, location, and current medication use. Even if it's classified as non-urgent (e.g., expected post-injection soreness), it's logged for morning escalation, and the patient gets a callback within hours rather than waiting until the office opens.
Your practice sets up the protocol. The AI can call the provider's phone, send an SMS alert, page a service, or alert a partner clinic. This is configured to match your established on-call workflow.
Yes. If a patient prefers to wait for a daytime callback, the AI logs the request and flags it for the morning team. This is common for non-urgent follow-up questions.
After-hours call details are captured and returned as a structured, EMR-pasteable summary for your clinical team to review and file. If your EMR is on our named integration list (athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Epic, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, AdvancedMD, ModMed), appointment bookings and patient demographics sync directly; all clinical content is presented as a summary for staff review. When the on-call provider logs in the next morning, that context is available for their review.
