Concierge & DPC
Concierge members expect access to clinical urgency escalation 24/7. An AI receptionist identifies safety-critical calls—chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding—and immediately alerts your on-call provider, keeping your team responsive without constant phone interruption.
True emergencies trigger immediate alerts. Routine requests are logged for morning processing. Providers sleep through non-urgent calls, meaning they are alert and attentive when a real emergency escalates.
When a member calls with chest pain or difficulty breathing, they reach a human clinician within seconds, not after a voicemail callback. Concierge members expect this responsiveness; urgent triage delivers it.
Every urgent call is logged with timestamps, chief complaint, and escalation decision. Your practice has a clear audit trail that urgent signals were recognized and acted on immediately.
Your on-call provider can speak to the member, assess severity, and decide whether ER referral is needed or home management is appropriate. This protects member experience and reduces unnecessary ER costs.

Chest pain, difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, severe bleeding, uncontrolled bleeding, loss of consciousness, confusion, severe injury, suicidal thoughts, and other safety-critical language. Your practice can customize the escalation list based on your protocols.
The AI is trained to distinguish genuine distress signals from casual language. If a member says 'I think I have a cold' versus 'I cannot breathe,' the AI recognizes the difference. Your on-call provider can also make a clinical judgment about severity once they speak to the member.
Your practice decides the protocol. Some practices use immediate phone escalation for true emergencies. Others use tiered alerts: urgent gets an immediate call, serious gets a text, routine gets logged for morning. The AI supports your workflow.
Your practice sets escalation rules: if on-call does not answer within 60 seconds, alert the backup provider or on-call service. The AI logs all attempts and outcomes for compliance.
Yes. For life-threatening emergencies, the AI recommends the member call 911 immediately. For urgent but non-life-threatening issues, the AI escalates to on-call while advising the member to call 911 if symptoms worsen. Your protocols define this.
