Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know if a call is an emergency?

The AI is trained on clinical keywords and tone. It listens for phrases like 'chest pain,' 'cannot breathe,' 'allergic reaction,' 'severe bleeding,' and urgent tone. If detected, the call routes to your on-call clinician or 911 immediately.

What if the AI misses an emergency?

Callers can always say 'emergency' or press a key to escalate at any time. Additionally, your on-call provider can be configured to take all after-hours calls if you prefer maximum safety over volume.

Can we customize the urgent keywords for our specialty?

Absolutely. If you run a cardiology practice, you may tune for 'chest pain,' 'palpitations,' and 'shortness of breath.' A mental health crisis line might tune for 'suicidal thoughts' or 'self-harm.' MedReception tailors the trigger words to your practice.

Does urgent routing work on weekends?

Yes. The AI operates 24/7/365. Your on-call team is configured in the system, and calls are routed to whoever is assigned for that day and time.

Can a patient bypass the AI if they know it is an emergency?

Yes. The AI offers an option like 'Press 1 for emergency' or 'Say emergency anytime.' Patients who feel it is urgent can skip the normal flow and route directly to clinical staff.

Is the call data available for quality review?

Yes. Every urgent call is recorded, transcribed, and logged with a timestamp. Your clinical leadership can review calls for quality assurance and liability purposes.
