Kareo Workflow
AI triages incoming calls, reads Kareo availability and patient history, and routes urgent cases to staff in seconds. Emergency keywords trigger instant escalation with provider context.
The AI detects urgency signals and escalates to available staff instantly. Your team gets the call context (patient history, provider notes, reason for call) before they answer, enabling faster, more informed triage.
The AI reads Kareo provider lists, specialties, and current schedules. A cardiac concern is routed to the cardiologist on staff; a dermatology question goes to the dermatologist—no wrong numbers or transfers.
When the office is closed, the AI reads Kareo's on-call provider schedule and can route to their personal number, messaging system, or an affiliated after-hours service. Always a next step, never a dead end.
Every call, triage decision, and escalation is logged and can be attached to the patient's Kareo chart. Regulators and auditors can trace every handoff and decision.
Real-Time Urgency Detection
Keywords and tones analyzed; critical calls escalated instantly
Kareo Specialization Matching
Incoming calls routed to the right provider type, not just any provider
On-Call Schedule Integration
After-hours calls routed using Kareo's on-call rotation or contact list
Call Context Provided
Staff receive patient history, reason for call, and prior interactions before answering
You define urgency rules in the dashboard: specific keywords (chest pain, shortness of breath, severe bleeding), tone markers (panic, crying), or caller relationship (family member reporting emergency). Any match triggers immediate escalation.
You set an escalation chain. If no provider answers quickly, the call routes to the nursing line, an urgent care facility, or 911 (for medical emergencies). Kareo on-call data ensures there's always a next step.
Yes. Set rules like: 'Follow-up appointment requests go to the scheduler queue; prescription refills go to the pharmacy contact; new patient inquiries go to the onboarding provider.' The AI reads Kareo roles and routes accordingly.
That's configurable. You can disclose it, or the AI can handle the initial conversation naturally and route seamlessly. Either way, the staff member who answers can introduce themselves and take over care.
Best practice: keep Kareo provider schedules current with PTO blocks and on-call assignments. The AI reads the live data, so if you mark a provider as out-of-office in Kareo, the AI won't route to them.
