Workflow
Interventional pain practices receive calls about post-procedure pain, medication side effects, and infection concerns mixed in with scheduling and refill requests. An AI receptionist learns your practice's emergency protocols and routes urgent calls to available clinicians in seconds while booking routine calls into your schedule.

Post-procedure infections, severe allergic reactions, and complications bypass triage queues and go directly to available staff.
The AI distinguishes expected post-procedure soreness and swelling from true emergencies, reducing unnecessary clinician callbacks on routine pain calls.
Urgent callers never reach a voicemail system. They speak to the AI, get escalated in real time, and reach the clinician while their symptoms are acute.
Every escalated call is timestamped with the patient's exact symptoms and timeline, giving clinicians full context before they pick up the phone.
Urgent calls routed immediately
Post-procedure emergencies escalated to clinicians without triage delay
Symptoms captured and logged
Fever, onset time, medication history, and patient context available to clinician before call connection
Routine calls handled independently
Scheduling, refill requests, and follow-up inquiries booked without clinician involvement
After-hours escalations never missed
Emergency calls reach on-call staff or designated escalation number every night and weekend
The AI is configured with your practice's medical protocols. It asks about onset, severity, fever, swelling, discharge, bleeding, breathing changes, and other flags you define. If any combination matches your urgent criteria, the call is immediately escalated.
The AI is trained to probe for concerning details: fever, inability to move a limb, numbness, tingling, chest pressure, shortness of breath, or nausea. If the patient reports any of these, escalation happens immediately, regardless of their initial tone.
Yes. You can set protocol rules so that post-lumbar-puncture calls escalate to your spine specialist, cervical-procedure calls go to another clinician, and so on. The AI learns these routing rules from your configuration.
The AI escalates to your designated on-call number, emergency line, or backup contact. If no one picks up, you can choose to leave a voicemail, send a text alert to staff, or direct the patient to an emergency room.
No. Call escalation is independent of your EMR. However, integration with your EMR allows appointment details and patient context to appear on the clinician's screen when they take the escalated call.
