After-Hours
Migraine attacks don't stop at 5 PM. MedReception answers every after-hours call, triages severity, and routes acute cases to your on-call provider—eliminating the need for staff to answer phones at night while ensuring no patient reaches voicemail.
Instead of a panicked patient and a voicemail, your on-call doctor receives a clear summary: attack severity, what the patient has already tried, and their pain level. That context means faster triage and better clinical decisions.
A patient mid-attack doesn't wait in a hold queue. The system escalates critical calls to your on-call line within seconds. Routine calls are logged and summarized for morning staff.
A live voice answers. Patients feel heard and know help is being arranged. Your clinic reputation stays strong even in the middle of the night.
Every after-hours call answered
Day or night, no voicemail dead ends
Acute calls escalated to on-call
Critical migraine cases routed in seconds
Structured escalation summary
Severity, medication history, and patient context on file
Call data retained for compliance
All after-hours interactions logged and available for review
The system routes the call directly to the phone number(s) you provide for on-call coverage. The patient stays on the line or receives a callback within your defined timeframe. A summary of the AI intake is texted or emailed to the provider simultaneously so they have context.
The system follows your failover protocol: attempt a second on-call number, or send the call to your answering service partner, or offer the patient an urgent appointment slot if your clinic offers 24-hour facilities. You define the escalation chain.
Yes. Non-urgent calls are logged with the patient's request and scheduled for morning staff callback. This avoids waking your on-call provider for routine business and keeps the after-hours line free for true emergencies.
Yes. A dashboard accessible to staff shows a log of all after-hours interactions with call summaries, timings, and audio recordings available for compliance review or quality assurance.
Absolutely. You set your after-hours schedule (e.g., 5 PM–8 AM, all-day Saturday/Sunday, or custom). The system treats those times the same way—AI answers, triages, and routes or logs accordingly.
