Workflow
Post-procedure complications, acute exacerbations, and neurological changes require immediate clinician attention. AI triage flags urgent symptoms and escalates calls to on-call providers or emergency pathways without delay.
Urgent calls are flagged immediately and routed to clinicians without voicemail delays. Patients with post-procedure complications or acute exacerbations are connected to care within seconds, not hours.
AI asks targeted questions about pain severity, neurological symptoms, medication changes, and timing. The clinician receives a complete context summary, not a vague 'patient in pain' notification.
Structured triage can identify which concerns require immediate ER care versus urgent office evaluation versus afterhours phone management. Protocol-driven decisions reduce inappropriate referrals.
AI fields urgent calls overnight and on weekends, captures context, and wakes providers only for true emergencies. Non-urgent concerns are triaged to daytime callback.
All urgent calls are logged with timestamps, symptoms captured, and routing decisions made. This creates a defensible record for quality assurance and peer review.
Urgent calls escalated immediately
Post-procedure complications and acute exacerbations routed to clinicians or urgent lines without voicemail delay
Structured emergency context captured
Pain level, symptom onset, neurological findings, and medication changes documented for clinician review
Escalation protocol enforced
AI applies your triage rules: post-procedure infection symptoms, severe pain, or neurological changes trigger immediate clinician notification
Audit logging for compliance
All urgent calls timestamped, symptoms recorded, and routing decisions logged for quality assurance and regulatory review
Configure escalation rules based on your protocols. Common triggers include: severe pain, neurological symptoms (weakness, numbness, bowel/bladder changes), signs of infection (fever, redness, drainage), swelling or bleeding at procedure site, and medication reactions. The AI can also recognize patient-reported 'emergency' language and escalate accordingly.
Yes. You can configure the AI to page or call the on-call provider directly, send an SMS alert, or route to an urgent line. Escalation pathways are fully customizable per your practice protocol.
No. The AI captures symptoms and context, then escalates to a clinician. It does not make recommendations or reassure the patient about treatment—clinicians remain in control of all clinical decisions.
Calls that do not meet urgent criteria are logged and offered a daytime callback. The patient can choose to go to an urgent care or ER if they prefer immediate evaluation, but they are not woken on-call providers for non-emergencies.
Yes. If you tag patients as recently post-procedure in your EMR, the AI can recognize calls from those patients and apply tighter escalation thresholds. This allows higher sensitivity for complication detection.
