Concierge & DPC
In concierge care, routing matters. A member with a routine refill request shouldn't reach the primary care physician; an urgent cardiac complaint shouldn't go to triage. AI understands the nature of each call and routes intelligently—saving time and ensuring the right expertise meets the need.
A member's refill request doesn't need a physician—nursing can handle it. Chest pain needs urgent escalation. AI understands the issue and routes accordingly, reducing unnecessary physician interruptions and ensuring urgent cases are triaged correctly.
Concierge members develop relationships with specific clinicians. AI knows member preferences and routes calls to the patient's usual provider when available, deepening continuity and satisfaction.
After hours, AI triages the call and routes urgent issues to your on-call provider only. Routine requests are captured for the morning team. Your practice sleeps; your members get care when they need it.
If a call is transferred and no one picks up, AI doesn't hang up. It captures the member's request and escalates via SMS or email, ensuring the member is never left hanging.
Intelligent triage logic
Routine vs. urgent vs. after-hours—routed instantly to the right queue
Member preference routing
Calls to preferred provider when available; backup routing when not
Urgent escalation
Chest pain, severe symptoms, critical concerns reach on-call provider immediately
Fallback channels
If transfer fails, member receives SMS or email with next steps
The AI listens to the caller's description of their issue—symptoms, severity, onset. It applies clinical triage logic to decide whether the issue is routine (refill, lab result), moderate (non-emergency medical question), or urgent (chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe injury). The algorithm is conservative: any ambiguity escalates to your on-call provider.
The AI follows a fallback sequence: preferred provider, then other available providers in the same specialty, then general on-call provider. The member is informed of the routing in real time. All calls are logged so the preferred provider can follow up the next day if needed.
Yes. During the call, the system can access your EMR to see the member's age, recent visits, and active conditions. If a member calls with a concern, the system uses available context to inform routing decisions. All clinical decisions remain with your providers—AI routes and escalates based on the member's stated issue and your configured protocols.
You configure call routing rules that map to your on-call schedule. If multiple providers share weekend coverage, AI knows who's on duty and routes calls to the active on-call provider. If your practice uses an external on-call service, AI can route to their queue and pass the structured call summary.
AI immediately identifies it as urgent, routes it to your on-call provider's phone, and plays a structured summary of the member's issue. If the on-call provider doesn't answer, AI escalates to your backup on-call resource or external service (e.g., nurse hotline). The member is never left without a response.
