AI receptionist routes emergency calls to Mesa on-call providers and ERs; protects your practice from liability

Mesa practices avoid liability and improve patient safety by automatically routing chest pain, difficulty breathing, and other urgent symptoms to on-call providers or nearby emergency departments. The AI handles triage; your staff is notified in real time.

How it pays back

No Emergency Sits in Voicemail

A patient calling at 8 pm with chest pain will never hear 'sorry we're closed.' The AI routes immediately to your on-call provider or the nearest Mesa ER. Same-night care, no delay.

Your Practice is Notified of Every Urgent Escalation

The AI sends an SMS and app alert with caller details the moment it routes an urgent call. Your staff and provider know what's happening and can follow up or document the referral.

Clear Liability Protection

You have a documented, auditable triage workflow. Every urgent call is logged, timestamped, and attributed to the AI's triage algorithm. Your compliance team has proof you acted appropriately.

Integrates with Your On-Call Schedule

The AI checks your on-call roster in real time. If Dr. Smith is on call, calls are routed to Dr. Smith. If no provider is available, calls go to the pre-set emergency department or urgent care.

Frequently asked questions

What symptoms trigger an immediate ER route?

Chest pain or pressure, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, head injury with altered mental status, loss of consciousness, suicidal or homicidal ideation, and severe allergic reaction. Your practice can also set custom triggers (e.g., 'uncontrolled blood sugar' for an endocrinology office).

How does the AI know which Mesa hospital to route to?

You configure your preferred emergency departments and urgent care partners in the system. The AI routes to the closest facility by zip code or your pre-set preference. For critical symptoms, it may default to the nearest level-1 trauma center.

Does the on-call provider hear from the patient first, or does the AI transfer?

You choose. The AI can transfer the caller directly to the provider, or send an alert SMS and let the provider call back. Most practices prefer the alert so the provider can prepare.

What if a caller describes symptoms that *might* be urgent but isn't sure?

The AI asks clarifying questions and errs on the side of caution. If there's doubt, it escalates to your on-call provider or offers immediate transfer to a nurse line for triage. Your provider is always the final decision-maker.

How is this documented for your EMR and compliance?

Every urgent call is logged with caller name, symptoms, routing decision, timestamp, and destination. Your staff receives a summary notification and can review and document the referral in the EMR. Full audit trail preserved.
