Annie AI

Annie AI identifies urgent patient calls and routes them immediately to on-call staff—no queue, no delay

Annie recognizes chest pain, severe symptoms, and other urgent flags during patient calls, then escalates immediately to your on-call provider or clinical staff by phone.

How it pays back

Critical calls never sit in voicemail or queue

Annie identifies severity in real time and puts the patient through to an on-call provider immediately, not a callback list.

Provider has full context before picking up

Annie captures patient name, chief complaint, severity, and relevant history, then returns it as a structured summary for the provider to review before or during the escalation call, so the provider has full context on pickup.

Your triage protocol is enforced consistently

Annie follows your defined triage rules (e.g., chest pain → escalate; sore throat with fever → same-day urgent; routine refill → book 2 weeks out) every time, eliminating human judgment drift.

On-call provider gets notified, not surprised

Annie routes urgent calls as active calls to the on-call provider's phone, with SMS backup if phone goes to voicemail, ensuring they know a patient is coming through.

Frequently asked questions

How does Annie know what's urgent?

Annie listens for specific red-flag symptoms (chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe allergic reaction) and urgency cues in the patient's voice and words. You can customize your triage protocol—Annie follows your clinical rules.

What happens after Annie escalates to the on-call provider?

Annie transfers the call or puts it through live to the on-call provider. She also returns a summary for the provider to review before or during the call if needed.

Can Annie handle triage for multiple specialties?

Yes. If your practice has orthopedics, family medicine, and urgent care, Annie can route urgent cases to the correct on-call provider for that specialty based on your protocols.

What if the on-call provider doesn't answer?

Annie can retry, route to a backup provider, or escalate to your urgent/ER protocol. You define the fallback sequence, and Annie follows it automatically.

Does Annie's escalation create liability?

No. Annie is a triage tool that routes calls to clinical staff—she does not make clinical decisions. Your providers remain in control of all urgent cases, and every escalation is logged in your EMR for audit and liability purposes.
