Call Routing & Triage
Fresno clinics triage incoming calls in real time with AI. Urgent symptoms route to on-call providers or emergency services. Routine calls are scheduled or returned later. Every patient gets the right level of care immediately.
Emergency calls are caught and routed within seconds. Your on-call provider gets context (chief complaint, vitals if available, patient history) instantly. Delayed triage or voicemail dead ends disappear.
Instead of a raw phone number, your on-call provider receives a routed call with full context: 'Patient reports chest pain, shortness of breath, history of hypertension.' They can triage safely and know whether to direct to ER or schedule an urgent visit.
The AI gathers enough information to distinguish true emergencies from anxious calls. Some callers feel reassured after talking to the AI and don't need immediate provider contact—reducing ER overload and costs.
Non-urgent calls are booked into available slots or put on a callback list. Your team follows up during business hours, so patients don't feel ignored.

The AI screens for classic red-flag symptoms (chest pain, severe shortness of breath, loss of consciousness, uncontrolled bleeding, etc.) and routes those immediately. It also uses tone and context clues. When in doubt, the AI errs on the side of urgency and notifies the on-call provider, who can triage further.
If the caller confirms or suspects a true emergency (chest pain with difficulty breathing, loss of consciousness, etc.), the AI recommends 911 immediately and asks the caller to confirm they're calling. The AI also alerts your on-call provider and documents the emergency referral for your records.
Yes. When the AI routes an urgent call to the provider, the provider receives the call plus a transcribed summary. If needed, they can review the full recording from the MedReception dashboard while speaking with the patient.
Non-urgent callers are offered a choice: 'I can schedule you for the next available appointment tomorrow, or I can note your callback request and have our team reach out in the morning.' The AI books or queues them; your staff follows up during business hours.
The AI's triage notes, timestamp, and routing decision are captured and returned as a structured, EMR-pasteable summary for your staff to review and file in the patient record. Clinicians see when the call came in, what was reported, and what action was taken.
