Triage
A medical AI receptionist listens for signs of urgency—chest pain, difficulty breathing, acute injury—and routes those calls immediately to your staff or on-call provider without delay or repeat questioning.
No delay navigating a menu tree or waiting in a queue. Severe symptoms go straight to your provider or emergency line.
Your staff receive the urgent call with all details already collected—no caller has to repeat their symptoms or medical history.
After-hours urgent calls are routed to on-call staff, not voicemail. No critical case slips through.
When a staff member picks up an urgent call, all demographics and symptom details are ready. They can focus on triage and advice, not re-intake.
Every urgent call is logged with timestamp, caller info, reason for escalation, and destination—ready for QA and regulatory review.
Urgent calls escalate immediately
No menu navigation, no wait queue
Full context preserved on handoff
Staff receive caller details and chief complaint with the call
Compliant escalation logging
Timestamp, caller, reason, and destination tracked for every urgent call
Chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, loss of consciousness, acute injury, severe allergic reaction, and active suicidal ideation are classic urgent markers. Your practice can define and configure which keywords or phrases trigger escalation.
You configure escalation paths: on-call provider cell, urgent care triage line, 911 for life-threatening emergencies, or your after-hours answering service. You control all routing rules.
If a caller says 'I need help immediately' or 'this is urgent' at any point, the AI routes them to staff. The caller can also press a key or say 'escalate' to bypass the system.
Yes. When the staff member picks up, they see or hear a summary of the caller's information, chief complaint, and why it was escalated. The caller doesn't have to repeat their story.
Your practice is responsible for monitoring and refining the urgent escalation rules. We provide logs of all urgent calls so you can audit escalation accuracy. Most practices review urgent call logs regularly to ensure proper routing.
