Workflow
Interventional pain practices must handle urgent calls—post-procedure complications, acute flare-ups, medication reactions—outside office hours. An AI receptionist triages urgency, routes to your on-call provider, and ensures no urgent patient goes unanswered while routine calls are logged for morning scheduling.
Complications are identified on the AI call and escalated to your on-call provider in real time. No overnight wait; clinical decisions happen fast.
The AI delivers patient name, symptoms, procedure date, and urgency level to your provider via phone or SMS. They can triage or call the patient back with full information.
Appointment requests and non-urgent questions are logged with full details. Morning staff have a queue ready with complete caller information—no callbacks needed.
True urgent cases get escalated; false alarms and routine requests are filtered out. Your providers sleep better knowing only real emergencies wake them.
Urgent calls routed to on-call provider
Real-time escalation of post-procedure complications and acute pain crises
Routine calls logged and queued
Morning staff see full intake—appointment requests, refill questions, follow-up inquiries
On-call provider receives full context
Patient details, symptoms, and urgency delivered before any clinical call
Audit trail for compliance
Every after-hours call recorded, escalation logged, and structured summary prepared for staff review
The AI is trained to recognize red-flag symptoms: fever, infection signs (redness, pus, warmth around injection site), severe swelling, neurological symptoms (numbness, weakness), medication side effects, or any patient statement of 'this feels wrong.' Routine questions (appointment scheduling, refill requests, general information) are logged for morning review.
You set your after-hours routing: the AI can call your on-call provider directly, send an SMS with patient details, or notify your answering service. Most practices use a combination—urgent pain calls go to the provider; routine calls are logged for morning.
The AI attempts contact via the method you specify (phone, then SMS backup, etc.). If unreachable, it can escalate to a backup provider, notify your answering service, or direct the patient to the ED. Your practice sets the escalation rules upfront.
Yes. All routine calls are captured with patient name, phone number, reason for call (appointment request, refill, etc.), and full transcript. Your morning staff can pull up the call summary and contact the patient with a callback or booking confirmation.
Your on-call rotation is stored securely in the MedReception portal. You can update provider phone numbers, SMS preferences, and backup contacts anytime. No on-call info is exposed on calls; the AI uses internal contact data only.
