Call Routing & Triage
AI triage system that routes urgent skin concerns to clinical staff immediately and books routine cosmetic/appointment calls efficiently. Ensures emergency calls never go to voicemail.
Urgent skin concerns—post-laser burns, infection signs, severe allergic reactions—are flagged and routed to clinical staff immediately. No emergency calls wait in a queue or get lost.
Routine appointment requests go to scheduling staff. Urgent medical concerns go to clinical staff. Everyone gets the right type of call at the right time, reducing confusion and improving throughput.
After-hours callers with urgent concerns are routed to your on-call provider or escalation contact. Routine after-hours callers can book in open slots or get a callback. No missed emergencies.
Every call is logged, tagged, and timestamped. Your practice has a clear record of when urgent calls arrived, how they were triaged, and who they were routed to—important for compliance and risk management.
Urgent calls escalated
Clinical concerns identified and routed to provider within minutes
Every call answered
No emergency calls trapped in voicemail or call queues
Intelligent clinical triage
AI asks questions to distinguish urgent from routine and route accordingly
Fully logged & auditable
Every call tagged, timestamped, and available for compliance review
The system asks about symptom severity, onset time, and location. Keywords like 'infection,' 'severe pain,' 'spreading rash,' 'post-procedure complication,' or 'can't breathe' trigger urgent escalation. Routine callers asking about appointments or cosmetic procedures are routed to scheduling.
Urgent calls are routed to your on-call provider or emergency escalation contact (phone number you set). The caller is told their call is being transferred and given expected wait time. Your provider controls whether to answer or send to voicemail with emergency instructions.
Yes. The AI listens throughout the call and can escalate if the caller mentions new symptoms or concerns. The call is moved to the urgent queue immediately.
Every call is recorded (with consent) and tagged with: caller name, call time, triage category (urgent/routine/follow-up), routing destination, and outcome. Your staff can pull reports for audits, QA, and risk management.
If the caller mentions life-threatening symptoms (chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe trauma), the AI immediately advises them to call 911 and does not attempt routing. The call is logged for your records.
