Call Routing & Triage
Fresno practices route calls intelligently — urgent cases bypass the queue and alert on-call staff; routine requests go to scheduling. AI learns your protocols and adapts in real time.
Chest pain, severe allergic reactions, and time-sensitive symptoms are recognized immediately and escalated to your on-call physician. Your staff reviews context in real time; patient safety is not compromised by voicemail tag.
Appointment requests, refill questions, and routine follow-ups are captured and routed to your scheduling or clinical system without staff time. Your team focuses on urgent and complex cases.
Your on-call physician receives only truly urgent alerts, reducing alert fatigue and allowing proper rest between calls. When they do receive an alert, patient context is pre-loaded.
Patients with non-urgent issues are offered a callback time; the AI schedules and reminds them. No voicemail tag, no lost calls.

The AI listens for red-flag symptoms, patient history, medication allergies, and context. It's trained on your practice's clinical protocols and guidelines. Calls are classified as urgent, routine, callback-eligible, or refer-to-ED based on real-time assessment.
Urgent calls trigger an immediate alert to your on-call physician or clinical staff via your paging, SMS, or phone system. Your team receives the patient's name, reason for call, relevant history, and contact info. The patient stays on the line or is told to expect a callback within minutes.
Yes. Triage rules are built around your specialty and patient population. Orthopedic triage differs from cardiology or urgent care — we adapt during implementation and refine based on your feedback.
The AI errs on the side of caution. If there's any doubt, the call is escalated. Your clinical team makes the final judgment. Over time, the system learns the distinction between your true urgent cases and patient anxiety.
Patients are offered a specific callback time or window. The AI logs the callback request with their reason for calling. Your team calls them back within the promised timeframe, and the conversation is documented.
Yes. We integrate with most paging, SMS, phone-based, and EMR-embedded on-call systems. Your team configures escalation routing during setup.
