Concierge & DPC
Concierge members call at night with real problems. AI answers, assesses urgency, and escalates to on-call staff in seconds. See how after-hours triage works.
Concierge members expect instant access to care guidance. AI answers, triages, and escalates urgent calls to on-call staff in real time. No waiting, no callback loop, no fear the message wasn't received.
The AI has already gathered member identity, chief concern, and symptom severity. When the provider answers, they know what they're stepping into. Call is faster and safer.
Most after-hours calls are non-urgent (appointment booking, prescription refill questions, lab result clarification). AI answers and routes to nurse line or schedules callback. On-call providers only field true emergencies.
AI screening follows your practice's escalation protocols for symptom assessment. Red flags (severe chest pain, altered mental status, shortness of breath) are instantly escalated. Consistent, HIPAA-aware triage every time.

The AI listens for clinical keywords and severity cues—chest pain, severe shortness of breath, loss of consciousness, severe bleeding, acute allergic reaction, or explicit member statement that it's an emergency. The system is configured with your practice's escalation rules. When in doubt, the call is escalated; staff can always triage down if needed.
The AI answers, determines urgency, and offers options: route to a nurse advice line (if available), schedule a callback for first thing in the morning, or leave a message for staff review. The member always knows what to expect and when they'll hear back.
Yes. During the call, the AI asks about symptom onset, severity, duration, and any treatments already tried. This structured information is passed to the on-call provider before they answer, so the clinical conversation starts with a complete picture.
The AI can ring the on-call number, send an SMS alert, or both—based on your practice's protocol. A confirmed response is required before the AI tells the member 'the provider will call you within X minutes.' If the on-call provider doesn't answer, the system can escalate further (e.g., to a backup provider or urgent care line).
All after-hours calls are logged with timestamp, member identity, chief concern, symptoms reported, urgency flag, and escalation action taken. Staff review these logs the next morning for care continuity and quality assurance. This structured summary is EMR-pasteable for your team to review and file.
