Urgent Care Workflow
Mesa practices need urgent after-hours triage without holding patients on voicemail. AI receptionist listens for emergency keywords, escalates immediately to on-call, and logs routine calls for follow-up.

Patients describing chest pain or difficulty breathing don't reach voicemail. The AI escalates to your on-call provider within seconds.
When the call rings through, the on-call provider receives a real-time summary of the patient's chief complaint, symptoms, and contact info. They can make informed triage decisions immediately.
Appointment requests, billing questions, and refill questions are captured and logged. On-call provider only gets called for genuine medical urgency.
Call recordings, triage flags, and caller details are retained for chart review, risk management, and compliance audit trails.

The AI listens to the caller's description of symptoms and flags for urgent keywords (chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe injury, uncontrolled bleeding, loss of consciousness, severe trauma). Any of these triggers immediate escalation.
The AI asks clarifying questions. If symptoms suggest urgency, the call escalates. If not, the AI suggests calling 911 or going to the ER, logs the call, and flags it for morning callback.
Yes. We configure triage rules based on your practice specialty and on-call protocols. You define which keywords and symptoms trigger escalation to on-call vs. callback queue.
You choose. The call can route to your on-call provider's personal cell, a dedicated on-call line, or your answering service. You configure the destination.
You set fallback routing. If the on-call provider doesn't pick up, the call can route to a backup on-call provider, your answering service, or the ER. You control the escalation chain.
Yes. All recordings are encrypted, stored securely, and retained only as long as needed per your compliance policy. Recordings are never shared with third parties without explicit authorization.
