Clinical Workflow
Mesa urgent-care practices receive dozens of calls daily—some routine scheduling, some potentially life-threatening. AI receptionist triages by urgency, alerts the right staff, and ensures emergencies bypass voicemail entirely.
Mesa patients calling with chest pain or trauma can't wait for a 9 AM callback. AI reception recognizes the urgency and pages on-call staff in real time.
On-call providers spend half their time fielding appointment requests and prescription refills instead of clinical emergencies. AI triage removes that noise.
Instead of a nurse triage line running 24/7, the AI does first-pass triage and routes only genuine medical emergencies to clinical staff. Non-emergency calls are logged for morning follow-up.
If an urgent caller goes unanswered, you have a record that they called, what they said, and that the AI escalated them. This documentation is critical for compliance and liability defense.

The AI asks targeted questions based on your protocol: chest pain, SOB, trauma, mental health crisis, etc. For your specialty, you can set custom escalation triggers. If the AI is uncertain, it escalates—false positives are better than missed emergencies.
Yes. For multi-specialty practices, the AI can identify the patient's primary provider, the type of issue, and route to the appropriate on-call clinician.
The AI can retry after 30–60 seconds, text an alert, page a second provider, or call a backup number. You configure the retry logic. If no one answers, the AI logs the call for immediate morning escalation.
Yes, if you integrate the EMR. The AI can see if a caller is an existing patient and look up key details like allergies and medications to provide context to the on-call provider. The AI returns a structured summary of the call for staff review and filing.
Arizona is a one-party-consent state, so recording is legal when you or the AI are a party to the call. Disclose recording in your system greeting and you're compliant. Document your policy in your patient onboarding materials.
