Workflow
A patient in acute pain calls during lunch. Without an AI receptionist, the call rings to a busy front desk or goes to voicemail. With our system, the call is answered instantly, severity is captured, and your staff is alerted in real time.
Pain calls are time-sensitive. When a patient calls during a busy clinic hour, they expect to reach someone, not a recording. The AI receptionist answers every call, captures the urgency, and if the situation warrants, immediately notifies your team. Patients feel heard; your team gets context before picking up.
The AI receptionist is trained to listen for concerning symptoms during pain intake: progressive numbness, weakness, bowel or bladder changes, fever with pain, or unrelenting pain unresponsive to medication. These are flagged in the structured summary and marked for urgent provider review.
When a patient books an urgent appointment, your team has pain severity, location, prior treatments, and current medication captured from the call and returned as a structured summary for staff review. Triage is faster because you're not starting from a blank chart or a voicemail transcript—you have organized data ready to file.

Structured intake summary
Pain history and treatment history ready for triage decision
The AI receptionist is trained to recognize urgency cues: high pain scores, acute onset, neurological symptoms (numbness, weakness), bowel/bladder changes, fever, or unrelenting pain. These trigger a flag in the intake summary and alert your staff for immediate review. Your team makes the final triage decision with full context.
If the AI detects critical symptoms (severe numbness, weakness, or loss of bowel/bladder control), it flags the call for immediate staff review and can transfer directly to your provider or advise the patient to go to the ER if appropriate. Your protocols determine the escalation path.
The AI can book patients into urgent slots you've designated in the system. If no urgent slots are available, it flags the call for your scheduler to handle manually and adds the patient to a rapid-callback list. Your team always has final say on urgent scheduling.
Yes. The AI answers every call, collects the intake, and routes to staff or your after-hours service based on availability and urgency. Patients are never left hanging—their call is always answered and triaged, even if your team is fully booked.
