Operations
Your Kareo practice receives evening, weekend, and holiday calls even when the office is closed. Urgent issues are escalated to on-call staff; routine requests are captured and scheduled for morning callback.
A patient calling with chest pain or a severe reaction gets the AI, which recognizes the emergency, escalates to your on-call provider, and doesn't wait for office hours to respond.
Patients calling for a prescription refill, appointment change, or general question get their issue captured and logged in Kareo for morning callback. Your team has full context and doesn't have to hunt for a message.
When your team reviews after-hours Kareo logs the next morning, they already know why each patient called, what the AI assessed, and how urgent a callback is.
Because the AI captures caller symptoms, patient history, and triage category as a structured summary, the on-call provider can review context before calling back. No 'tell me again, I don't have my chart.'

Yes. Your practice can define which symptoms, procedures, or conditions warrant immediate on-call notification. You can also route calls by provider specialty or on-call rotation schedule within Kareo.
