Workflow
Post-injection complications—infection, hematoma, nerve injury—require immediate physician assessment. MedReception AI captures urgency on the first ring, escalates to your on-call clinician, and documents the patient's description for rapid triage.
A patient with fever and tenderness after epidural injection reaches a clinician within minutes, not hours. The AI captures the exact timeline and symptom severity, so your clinician can determine if same-day imaging or in-office assessment is needed.
Urgent calls go directly to the covering interventionalist's cell with a brief audio flag, not to a generic answering service that must track down the doctor. The AI does the dispatch.
Every urgent call is recorded, transcribed, and timestamped. Your clinician has a permanent record of what the patient reported and when you responded, protecting the practice in the event of a complication claim.
When your on-call clinician can assess a patient's symptoms immediately and decide if observation, imaging, or urgent care is appropriate, fewer patients end up in the emergency department.
Every urgent call flagged
Symptoms indicating emergency escalation identified and routed immediately
Call documentation complete
Audio, transcript, and structured summary retained for medical record
Urgent calls answered first
Priority routing ensures complications are never held in queue
The AI is trained to recognize keywords indicating emergency escalation: high fever, severe swelling, numbness or tingling spreading beyond injection area, difficulty breathing, chest pain, severe allergic reaction signs, or signs of infection. These immediately trigger escalation to your on-call clinician.
You provide the AI with your on-call clinician's contact protocol—direct cell, answering service number, or both. The AI attempts immediate contact and leaves a high-priority alert with the patient's name, callback number, and urgency flag so the clinician knows to answer quickly.
Yes. The call is recorded, transcribed, and a structured summary is available to your clinical staff. The recording and transcript are retained per your HIPAA retention policy and can be added to the patient chart as backup documentation of the reported symptoms and timeline.
The AI follows your defined backup protocol: retry after 30 seconds, page the covering nurse, contact the backup interventionalist, or notify your answering service. You set the escalation chain when the AI is deployed.
Yes. The AI operates 24/7 with identical urgency protocols on every call, regardless of time of day. Urgent symptoms receive the same immediate escalation on Tuesday at 9 a.m. or Saturday at 11 p.m.
