Extend AI phone reception beyond business hours. Answer after-hours calls, capture urgent patient information, triage by priority, and notify on-call providers automatically. No more missed calls or delayed urgent response.
AI answers every after-hours call, identifies urgent cases instantly, and alerts on-call staff. No more delayed emergencies.
Instead of a blank phone number, on-call staff receive a summary: 'Chest pain, diabetic patient, took aspirin, called at 11 PM.' They answer the next call informed and ready.
Routine questions (refill status, appointment time confirmation) are handled or logged. Staff see the transcript in the morning; only true urgent cases trigger alerts.
After-hours callers reach a human-like AI, not a dead voicemail. They provide context, and urgent cases get immediate attention or a guaranteed callback time.
Urgent calls alerted to on-call provider
SMS, email, or phone notification with full context
Non-urgent calls logged and ready
Staff review transcripts next business day
Structured triage summary for on-call
Symptoms, vitals, medication, allergies captured and ready
The AI listens to the reason for the call. High-priority keywords (chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, allergic reaction, high fever, loss of consciousness) trigger immediate escalation. Routine questions (appointment time, refill status) are logged for morning review.
You set your preferred method: SMS text message, email, or phone call. The alert includes the caller's name, phone number, and a triage summary. The provider can call the patient back directly or indicate they need more info.
You define escalation rules. After 2–3 minutes, the alert can be escalated to a secondary provider, manager, or sent to an on-site emergency contact. You control the chain.
Yes. You define which providers are on-call and when. If your practice has multiple departments, each can have its own on-call schedule. The AI routes accordingly.
The AI captures the caller's info, reason for call, and any relevant medical context, then offers a callback within 1–2 hours (if available) or a first-thing-next-morning appointment. Staff see the transcript in the morning and can prioritize accordingly.
The AI can offer callback or next-day appointment slots during the call. If the caller agrees, it's logged and staff confirm in the morning. If the caller declines, they're notified of a voicemail option and staff can reach out manually.
