Workflow
CallSara handles the infrastructure; MedReception's AI answers the phone 24/7. Route urgent patient calls to on-call staff and schedule routine appointments overnight.
The AI screens calls before escalation. Your provider doesn't receive voicemail chains or hang-ups—only genuine medical urgency.
A patient with chest pain, uncontrolled bleeding, or acute trauma is transferred immediately. Routine follow-ups are logged for next-business-day callback.
A patient calls Saturday at 11 p.m. wanting a Monday appointment. The AI books it, and your team sees it first thing Monday morning.
On-call staff spend less time triaging and managing callback lists. The AI handles call screening, reducing alert fatigue.

The AI captures the patient name, medication, and reason, then logs it for morning review. The on-call provider can approve urgent refills; routine ones are handled by staff during business hours.
