How it pays back

Urgent patients reach a human immediately

No patient with chest pain, severe bleeding, or acute symptoms waits in a phone tree or listens to a menu. The AI recognizes urgency and transfers to your provider in seconds.

Your on-call provider gets context, not a blank transfer

When the call transfers, your provider sees the patient's name, presenting complaint, and vital information. They answer an informed call, not a cold transfer.

Routine calls don't tie up your clinical staff

The AI handles appointment confirmations, prescription refill status checks, and billing questions. Your team only answers clinical or urgent requests, preserving on-call availability for real emergencies.

Faster escalation of urgent calls supports your clinical record

Documentation of the AI triage and transfer supports your clinical workflow and record-keeping.

Urgent calls escalated immediately

No queue, no voicemail, direct to on-call provider

Provider receives call context

Patient name, chief complaint, and triage notes pre-loaded

Customizable escalation rules

Define urgent triggers specific to your specialty and protocols

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know if a call is urgent?

The AI listens for keywords and context—chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, allergic reaction, or suicidal ideation trigger immediate escalation. Your team can customize the urgency criteria for your specialty.

What if the AI isn't sure whether a call is urgent?

The AI errs on the side of escalation. If there's doubt, it transfers to your clinical staff immediately. Better a false escalation than a missed urgent call.

Does the on-call provider know who called?

Yes. The call transfer includes the patient's name, phone number, and the AI's triage summary. Your provider answers knowing who they're talking to and why they called.

What happens if my on-call provider doesn't answer?

Your phone system routes to the next on-call number, voicemail, or your backup protocol—whatever you've configured. The patient isn't abandoned.

Can the AI handle calls that might be emergencies requiring 911?

Yes. For life-threatening symptoms (difficulty breathing, chest pain, severe bleeding), the AI can prompt the caller to hang up and call 911, or it can transfer to your emergency protocol. Your practice sets this policy.

How is this HIPAA-compliant?

All calls are encrypted. Patient information is not logged to external databases. The transfer happens within your phone system. Your on-call provider's phone is protected the same way it always is.
