After-Hours Operations
After-hours calls in Mesa practices usually go dark: voicemail, no routing to on-call, and patients call urgent care or competitors. AI answers every after-hours call, routes urgent cases to your on-call provider, and books routine appointments for next-day follow-up.
Urgent calls trigger SMS alert and phone notification to your on-call provider. They answer from home and decide whether the patient needs the ED or can be managed at next-day office visit.
Caller reaches your practice, talks to a live voice, and either gets urgent routing or a booked appointment. They don't hang up and drive to the nearest urgent care or ER out of frustration.
Your team arrives to structured summaries of the previous night's calls: who called, what they needed, whether they were routed to on-call, and what was booked for the day. No scramble to return calls or guess intent.
Chronic disease patients on your panel call with a medication question at 8pm and get a live response—not voicemail. They feel supported and less likely to switch practices.

The AI recognizes clinical keywords and triage criteria: chest pain, shortness of breath, severe bleeding, medication emergency, acute injury. These trigger immediate escalation. Non-urgent calls—refill requests, appointment questions—are handled through booking or callback.
The AI can route to a backup on-call provider or a nurse line if you have one. You configure the escalation chain. If no one picks up within a set time, the patient is offered the ED or urgent care.
Yes. Non-urgent after-hours calls are handled entirely by AI: patient books a morning or next-available slot, receives SMS confirmation, and shows up the next day.
SMS text and/or phone call to the on-call number you provide. The AI relays the patient's name, chief complaint, and urgency level. The provider answers and speaks directly to the patient.
No. The AI uses your existing main line. On-call routing is configured once per provider. Appointment bookings integrate with your EMR; call summaries and intake details are captured and returned as structured, EMR-pasteable summaries for your team to review and file.
