Workflow
Interventional pain patients call after hours with pain spikes or complications. Without immediate triage, these calls are missed entirely or delayed until morning. MedReception captures urgency signals and escalates to staff in real time so your team can decide: callback needed, ED referral, or reassurance.
Patient reports unexpected pain or swelling. AI immediately flags it as urgent, notifies your on-call provider or nurse, and hands off a complete clinical summary. Staff can call back within minutes instead of the patient hanging up and going to the ED.
When the phone rings, your provider sees the patient name, procedure date, what they reported, and why the AI flagged it urgent. No 'who is this?' delay—immediate clinical assessment and guidance.
AI describes fever, chest pain, or severe swelling in the patient's own words. Staff can immediately tell if it's a true emergency and guide the patient to the ED with context. Early referral prevents complications and liability.
Your day team sees a queue of overnight urgent callbacks ranked by clinical severity. Staff knows who must be called back first and what each patient needs, so urgent follow-ups don't slip through.
Urgent calls escalated in real time
Post-op pain, fever, or complication reports trigger immediate staff notification
Post-procedure context captured
Procedure type, date, current pain level, and symptom timeline recorded on the call
On-call routing configured
Urgent calls route to assigned on-call provider or nurse via phone, SMS, or app
Call-to-staff latency minimized
No queuing in hold or waiting for morning—urgent callbacks happen immediately after hours
Your team configures urgency rules during setup. Typically: fever above a threshold, pain rated 8+, numbness or weakness, bleeding, or chest/breathing symptoms trigger immediate escalation. You can customize rules per procedure type.
Yes. You can set up an escalation chain: page the on-call nurse, if no response in 5 minutes page the provider, if no response send SMS alert. Your team controls the escalation logic.
The AI captures that context. If the procedure was done elsewhere and the patient is calling your practice for advice, the AI notes it and routes to your clinical staff. Your team can advise or refer back to the original facility.
The AI captures only. It asks questions, listens, and summarizes. All clinical assessment, triage, and guidance is provided by your staff. The AI's role is to get the right call to the right person fast.
Non-urgent calls (e.g., 'When do I remove the bandage?', 'Can I drive tomorrow?') are logged and queued for callback during business hours. Staff can address them in the morning without disrupting on-call sleep.
Call summaries—including urgency flags, clinical details, and your staff's callback notes—are captured as a structured, EMR-pasteable summary and made available for your team to review. Your staff can then add them to the patient record or use them for post-op follow-up documentation.
