Specialty Workflow
Emergent calls escalate to your on-call clinician, walk-ins give demographics and insurance before arrival, and staff get a structured triage summary.
The AI screens incoming calls using chief complaint, acuity indicators, and your clinical protocols. True emergencies route immediately to on-call clinicians. Urgent cases queue for expedited ED check-in. Routine calls are handled by the AI.
Patients provide insurance, demographics, and symptoms during the AI call before arrival. Structured intake is returned to your ED staff as a summary for review and filing while the patient is being triaged by clinical staff. Reduced wait times, faster bed assignment.
Instead of ED staff fielding status inquiries from patients in the waiting room, the AI handles common requests: ETA estimates, insurance verification status, pre-visit instructions. Your clinical team focuses on patient care.
24/7 call answering and after-hours triage without on-site staff. Urgent cases escalate to on-call clinicians. Your ED operates more efficiently during peak hours by offloading routine calls to the AI.

EHR-integrated workflows
Appointment bookings and patient demographics sync to your Tebra ED chart
During onboarding, your ED medical director and operations team define escalation criteria: keywords (chest pain, difficulty breathing, etc.), call patterns, and patient history flags. The AI applies these rules consistently and routes emergencies to on-call clinicians within seconds.
Uncertainty triggers escalation. The AI errs on the side of caution—if a call shows any emergent indicators, it routes to your on-call team or main ED line. Your clinical staff make the final triage decision.
Yes. When a patient calls ahead or arrives at your ED walkin window, the AI can collect insurance information, demographics, and chief complaint via phone or tablet IVR. Patient demographics are synced to your Tebra chart; chief complaint and symptoms are returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and file.
Yes. The AI handles unlimited concurrent calls. During peak hours, calls are queued or routed based on acuity. Your front desk sees real-time queue status and can manage patient flow accordingly.
Your ED provides on-call clinician phone numbers and escalation rules during setup. For emergent calls, the AI attempts to reach the on-call physician directly. If no answer, it falls back to your main ED line or another configured escalation number.
Name, DOB, phone, and insurance information are synced to Tebra to create or update patient records. Chief complaint and relevant symptoms are captured on the call and returned as a structured summary for your ED staff to review and file. Clinical data (allergies, medications, medical history) is added by your ED team during initial assessment.
