Concierge & DPC Calls
Membership practices promise coordination, so hospitals, specialists and pharmacies ring the physician. Capture the hard-to-return callback, and route it.
Membership practices sell a physician who follows the member into the hospital and speaks to the specialist directly. That promise is only ever as good as the phone behind it. A consultant with a narrow gap between cases will not leave a second voicemail, and the coordination the member paid for quietly does not happen.
Clinician calls go unreturned because returning them is hard: a switchboard, a ward, a colleague who is now in theatre. Asking for a direct extension and a reachable window at the moment of the call is the highest-value thing a phone layer can do with these, and it takes fifteen seconds.
Membership language and member identity questions waste an emergency physician's time and say the wrong thing about your practice. A separate path with your own wording gets to the point, and the resulting note makes clear this was a clinician calling about your member, not the member calling.
Who called, from where, about which member, what they said, when it was escalated and when it was acknowledged, all timestamped in the same structure as any other clinical call. That is the record you want when a hospital course is reconstructed weeks later.

It follows the opening your practice scripted and asks. Callers state who they are and in what role, and that answer selects the path. Where it stays ambiguous your fallback runs, and nothing about the member is disclosed until the caller clears the rules you wrote for professional callers.
No. It does not read the chart, summarise history or answer clinical questions. It captures who is calling, about whom, about what, and how to reach them back, then routes on your rule. The clinical conversation happens between clinicians, which is the point of the membership.
Your practice decides. You can write one rule for a clinician calling about a member currently in an emergency department and a different rule for a routine consultant call. The system executes what you wrote and does not judge which situation is which beyond the categories your clinicians defined.
That is a professional call with its own path. The system captures the pharmacy, the pharmacist, the member, the medication and the specific question, then routes to your prescriber. It never resolves a clarification itself and never confirms a dose, a quantity or an instruction.
Yes, in whatever form your practice specifies, whether that is a callback to the facility's own number, a direct line your practice recognises, or staff confirmation before anything is shared. The disclosure rules for professional callers are yours to write, and the system logs what it confirmed.
In the destination your physician actually watches, which for these calls is typically configured as a direct notification rather than a shared queue. Delivery is available through API or FHIR for supported systems and through secure workflow automation elsewhere, with custom integration available.
