Frequently asked questions

How does call splitting work with Hint Health?

The AI receptionist answers all concurrent incoming lines simultaneously. Each call is assessed for urgency, patient status (new vs. established), and reason for contact. Based on configurable routing rules and Hint Health schedule data, the AI either handles the call (appointment booking, information requests, simple triage) or routes to the appropriate staff or provider. This happens in real time without human intervention.

What if multiple urgent calls come in at once?

The AI prioritizes urgent calls and escalates them to on-call or available clinicians immediately, based on your Hint Health on-call schedule and provider availability. Non-urgent calls are handled by the AI or queued briefly for the next available staff member. Urgent calls never wait behind routine requests.

Does the AI write routing data back to Hint Health?

The AI reads from Hint Health to inform routing decisions (provider schedules, patient demographics, appointment availability). The AI writes appointment bookings, new patient records, and patient demographics (name, DOB, phone) to Hint Health. Call routing logs and triage notes are returned as structured summaries for your staff to review and file manually in the patient record as needed.

Can we customize the routing rules for different departments?

Yes. Each Hint Health location and department can define its own routing hierarchy: e.g., route new patients to intake, established patients to their provider's schedule, urgent calls to on-call, and routine refills to pharmacy. Rules can change based on time of day and provider availability.

What happens if a call needs to be transferred to a live person?

The AI hands off warm: it informs the receiving staff member of the caller's identity, reason, and any prior context. A structured summary of the triage is available in the call record. Staff then picks up without the caller repeating their issue.
