After-Hours
Post-operative pain, nerve issues, or acute flare-ups don't stop after 5 PM. AI answers urgent calls, documents symptoms and severity, and escalates to on-call providers immediately with structured clinical notes.
Instead of a vague voicemail, on-call clinician receives a structured summary: procedure date, post-op day, current symptoms, medications tried, and severity. They can triage by phone or authorize urgent return.
When a patient reaches your practice immediately after-hours, not a general ER line, your team can assess urgency, reassure expected symptoms, or arrange urgent follow-up.
On-call provider receives a clean, organized alert with all clinical detail, not fragmented voicemail or second-hand information from the patient trying to describe the problem.
AI can guide patients on expected post-op symptoms, safe movement, and medication use while provider callback is arranged. Reduces panic and unnecessary ER escalation.
Every after-hours call is logged with symptoms, timing, and provider response. This record is returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and file to the patient's EMR for continuity during business-hours follow-up.

Your providers configure red-flag symptoms (e.g., severe unrelenting pain, fever, progressive neurological symptoms, signs of infection). The AI escalates these immediately. Expected post-op pain is acknowledged, and reassurance is offered.
The AI sends an SMS alert with the clinical summary and patient phone number so the provider can retrieve the details and call back when available. If no response within your configured timeout, escalation can trigger a second alert or transfer to another provider.
Yes, within limits. The AI can remind patients of post-operative expectations, suggest safe rest and positioning, and remind them of prescribed medications. If symptoms suggest a problem, the provider is alerted immediately.
Yes. The call note, symptoms, and disposition are returned as a structured summary that your staff file to the patient's EMR the next morning for continuity of care.
Yes. The AI answers all calls, performs triage, and escalates only clinically relevant cases to your provider. This reduces alert fatigue and ensures providers get organized information, not multiple voicemails.
