Migraine Care

Migraine calls after 5pm reach an AI that triages severity and routes urgent cases to your on-call neurologist

After-hours migraine calls are answered immediately, triaged for red flags, and routed to on-call or urgent slot. Routine calls log a structured summary for morning callback.

How it pays back

On-call provider gets context before answering

Escalated call includes AI-captured symptom summary, so neurologist knows what they're responding to before they pick up.

Routine migraine calls don't blow up your on-call line

Established patient with mild headache and no red flags queued for AM callback. On-call line reserved for true emergencies.

No missed after-hours migraine calls

Every call answered and routed. No voicemail dead ends; patient knows they're in the queue.

Morning staff see a prioritized queue

High-priority callbacks (new patient, red flags in call) bubble to top. Staff work through them systematically.

Red-flag escalation

Thunderclap, sudden severe, or neurologic symptoms routed to on-call immediately

Structured callback queue

Morning staff see all after-hours calls ranked by clinical priority

Patient confirmation

Caller given callback window and confirmation number to reduce repeat calls

Frequently asked questions

What happens if someone calls in severe migraine pain after hours?

The AI asks about red flags (sudden onset, vision loss, weakness, speech changes). If present, the call is marked urgent and sent to your on-call neurologist immediately with the AI-captured summary. If no red flags, it's logged for AM callback.

Can the AI tell the difference between migraine and stroke?

The AI asks about sudden onset, focal weakness, speech difficulty, and vision loss—warning signs that warrant urgent evaluation. Any patient reporting these is routed to the on-call provider or ER guidance immediately.

What if a patient is already a known chronic migraine sufferer calling for a 'regular' migraine?

The AI captures whether it's a typical migraine or a new pattern. If the caller says 'this is worse than usual' or reports new symptoms, that's flagged as higher priority.

Do after-hours routine migraine calls get answered or voicemail?

Answered. The AI answers every call. Routine calls are logged for AM callback; the patient gets a confirmation number and expected callback time.

Can this integrate with my neurologist's after-hours schedule?

Yes. Your on-call neurologist's availability and contact details are configured in MedReception. Urgent calls route to them based on the schedule you set.
