Workflow
Pain emergencies don't stop after 5 PM. Route after-hours calls to the right team member and flag same-day urgent requests so your clinical staff can assess and schedule immediately.
After-hours callers reach the AI system, which assesses pain severity and red flags, routes emergencies to on-call staff or ER guidance, and logs urgent same-day requests for morning clinical review.
Calls involving new neurological deficits, severe acute onset pain, or loss of function are routed to an on-call provider callback list immediately, not queued for morning staff.
When the on-call provider returns the call, they have a summary of pain location, onset, severity, radiation, and associated symptoms—no need to restart the history.
Urgent requests are logged with urgency flags so your morning staff can review and confirm same-day or next-available appointments before the patient re-calls.
For urgent but non-emergent pain, the system can provide appropriate guidance (ice, rest, medication timing) while booking the urgent appointment, supporting your clinical team's triage approach.
Red-flag escalation
Sudden neurological symptoms, severe acute pain, and loss of function trigger immediate on-call routing
Structured urgent intake
Pain history, location, onset, and associated symptoms documented before provider callback
Same-day appointment flagging
Urgent requests logged and prioritized for morning clinical review and confirmation
You configure red-flag criteria with your clinical team: sudden severe pain, new neurological symptoms (numbness, weakness), loss of bowel/bladder control, or other condition-specific emergencies. The system asks screening questions and escalates calls matching those criteria immediately.
The system is configured to provide guidance to call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department for true medical emergencies (uncontrolled bleeding, inability to breathe, etc.). For urgent but not life-threatening pain, it triages to on-call provider callback or urgent scheduling.
Yes. The system logs all call details in a structured summary that your on-call provider can access via the portal or receive via email/SMS, so they have the pain history, onset, and symptoms before returning the patient's call.
No. Same-day requests are flagged and logged in your system overnight. Your morning clinical team reviews the urgency assessment, confirms or adjusts the appointment time, and contacts the patient. This ensures a clinician validates the urgency before the slot is held.
