After-Hours
When patients call after hours, the AI answers immediately, gathers details about their emergency, and routes the call to your on-call provider with a structured summary of the patient's presenting problem. Critical information is captured and prepared for your EHR.
Every emergency call arrives with a summary of the patient's presenting problem, pain level, and relevant history. Your dentist has context before answering, making triage faster.
Patients in pain get a human answer within seconds, not a voicemail. This reduces emergency room visits and improves patient loyalty.
The AI filters routine questions (appointment reschedule, prescription refill questions) from real emergencies. Your on-call provider only takes true clinical emergencies.
Timestamps, summaries, and actions taken are all logged. You have a clear record of response and clinical decision-making.
Emergency calls answered immediately
No voicemail, no delays—AI picks up on first ring
Patient context available to on-call provider
On-call provider sees demographics and call summary before the call connects
Call summaries logged in real time
Urgency level, patient description, and action taken documented for compliance
Non-urgent calls filtered
Routine scheduling and prescription questions handled by AI; emergencies escalated only
The AI asks about pain level (1–10), swelling, bleeding, fever, and time of onset. It flags severe pain, facial swelling, or bleeding as high-priority and routes immediately. Lower-severity issues are offered tomorrow appointment options first.
Yes. The call is routed with a text summary displayed to your on-call provider before they answer. If you use a digital on-call system, the patient's demographics and call details are also available on their device.
The system retries the on-call number up to 3 times over 60 seconds. If still no answer, it can alert a backup provider or offer the patient the nearest emergency dental clinic.
The AI can do both. Standard mode: AI tells patient 'I'm connecting you to the dentist' and bridges the call. Callback mode: AI collects patient number, calls the dentist with context, then calls patient back when dentist answers.
Yes. All calls are encrypted end-to-end, routed through HIPAA-compliant carriers, and logged with full audit trails. Routing information is tied to patient identifiers, not shared with third parties.
Yes. You can define your own urgent criteria—e.g., 'severe pain,' 'visible trauma,' 'fever above 101'—and the AI will adapt its questioning and routing logic accordingly.
