Call Routing | Triage
Deploy AI-powered call triage in Mesa: urgent medical calls route to on-call providers or crisis lines; routine scheduling and callbacks go to voicemail or after-hours booking.
By MedReception AI, physician-built by Paul Toomey, MDPublished
Not every after-hours call is urgent. AI quickly identifies chest pain, active bleeding, or mental health crises and routes them to on-call or 911. Routine 'I need an appointment' calls don't interrupt your physician's evening.
Your providers only receive calls that need immediate clinical judgment. Appointment requests, prescription refills, and status updates are handled by AI or queued for business hours, cutting unnecessary interruptions.
Every triage decision is logged with the AI's reasoning. Disputes, liability concerns, or regulatory audits have a clear record of how and why each call was routed.
No need for a night-time call screener or nurse line. AI triage runs 24/7 and routes consistently, reducing training overhead and turnover.
Triage logic documented
Every routing decision logged with symptoms, severity, and escalation reason
Protocol-driven routing
Configured to your practice's clinical guidelines and on-call thresholds
Edge-case escalation
Uncertain or high-risk calls escalate to your staff with full context
The AI asks structured questions about symptoms, onset, severity, and prior treatment. It applies clinical decision trees based on your protocols—e.g., chest pain + shortness of breath = urgent; sore throat + no fever = routine. Edge cases escalate to your staff for judgment.
Every call is recorded and logged. You can review the transcript, triage reasoning, and routing. We refine the protocol based on your feedback. Critical safety gaps trigger real-time escalation to your chief physician for protocol adjustment.
Yes. You configure the on-call roster with cell numbers, pager codes, or both. Urgent calls are transferred directly or the AI leaves a callback-priority voicemail on your practice's on-call line.
The AI captures the caller's name, symptoms, and contact info. For established patients, it checks your EMR; for unknown callers, it treats the request as potentially urgent and escalates per your protocol.
Yes. Urgent calls route to on-call around the clock. During business hours, you can disable urgent routing and send all calls to your staff, or keep AI triage active as a second screener.
