Workflow

AI answers post-operative callbacks 24/7; routes pain spikes, complications, and medication refill requests to the right clinician instantly

Interventional pain practices lose calls from post-op patients at night and on weekends. AI reception captures post-operative concerns—pain levels, numbness, swelling, medication questions—and immediately escalates urgent cases to your on-call provider.

Identifies caller as post-op patient and pulls their procedure record automatically
Asks standardized post-op symptom questions (pain level, numbness, swelling, fever, infection signs)
Flags neurological changes, severe pain, or infection signs for immediate clinician notification
Routes routine medication refill requests to your pharmacy or nursing team
Schedules follow-up appointments if patient needs urgent in-person evaluation
Captures callback with symptom summary for clinician review and staff to file

How it pays back

24/7 Post-Op Monitoring

Patients in recovery get live AI answering their calls around the clock. Urgent symptoms trigger immediate clinician escalation; routine questions are triaged appropriately.

Complications Caught Early

Neurological changes, infection signs, and severe pain are flagged and escalated within minutes, not hours. Your clinician has the structured intake summary and can call back or advise immediately.

Medication Requests Don't Get Lost

Post-op pain med refills, antibiotic scripts, and other routine requests are captured and routed to pharmacy or your nursing staff. Patients are not left hanging.

Clinician Callback Prioritized

Your on-call provider sees only truly urgent post-op cases, not voicemails left at random. Structured escalation means faster response and better outcomes.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know the patient is post-op?

The patient states they had a recent procedure, or the AI can match phone number to your recent appointment list. Either way, it pulls the procedure record and asks relevant post-op questions.

What symptoms trigger an urgent escalation?

You configure the escalation rules—typically fever, uncontrolled pain, numbness/tingling lasting longer than expected, signs of infection, or neurological changes. The AI flags those cases and immediately notifies your clinician.

Can it handle routine questions, or does everything get escalated?

No. The AI distinguishes routine questions (medication refills, appointment scheduling, post-op instructions) from urgent symptoms. Routine cases go to your pharmacy or nursing team; urgent cases go to the clinician.

What if the patient needs an urgent in-person visit?

The AI can schedule same-day or urgent appointment slots if available, or flag the case for your staff to call the patient back with next-day availability.
