Availability
See how AI reception handles calls outside business hours, routes urgent cases to on-call staff, and books appointments for the next available slot.
Instead of voicemail, callers reach an AI that understands their situation, captures their request, and routes urgent cases to on-call staff immediately.
The AI identifies red flags—chest pain, severe bleeding, thoughts of harm, fever in a newborn—and calls the provider with full context. No delay, no missed escalations.
If a caller requests a routine appointment after hours, the AI books the next available slot and confirms it immediately. The appointment appears in your schedule right away.
All after-hours calls are logged in a dashboard—urgent escalations flagged, routine requests organized, patient information ready for follow-up.
Your on-call schedule is programmed in. The AI always knows who to reach and when. No confusion about who's on call or where to find them.

The AI checks your EMR for the next open appointment slot (tomorrow morning, later that week, or with another provider) and books it. The patient is confirmed and the appointment appears in your schedule immediately—no staff callback needed.
Your on-call schedule is entered during setup and updated regularly. The AI reads the schedule and routes calls to whoever is on duty that night or weekend.
The AI can offer to call 911, provide the nearest hospital emergency department contact, and notify your on-call provider. For routine or stable urgent requests, it routes to on-call; for life-threatening emergencies, it suggests 911.
Yes. A dashboard summary shows all after-hours calls—urgent escalations flagged at the top, routine appointment requests, messages for specific providers. Staff can listen to recordings, see transcripts, and follow up as needed.
