After-Hours Care

Capture and escalate severe migraine calls outside business hours without missing urgent cases

Migraine clinics often receive after-hours calls from patients in acute distress. AI reception answers every call, gathers severity and medication details, and escalates urgent cases to your on-call provider while logging all data for next-business-day follow-up.

How it pays back

Provider on-call protection

AI pre-screens after-hours calls and escalates only true emergencies to your provider, reducing interruption from routine requests.

No missed acute cases overnight

Status migraine, first-ever severe migraine, or suspected meningismus is immediately escalated rather than queued for morning.

Reassurance for stable patients

AI can offer basic after-hours support for patients with known migraine who need reassurance, freeing provider time for true emergencies.

Complete overnight intake for day-shift handoff

Every after-hours call is logged with patient intent, severity, and actions taken, so morning staff have full context.

Emergency migraine cases escalated immediately

Status migraine and red-flag symptoms reach your provider, not voicemail

Overnight intake logged for day review

All call details, severity, and patient actions documented for morning continuity

On-call provider alerts configured

Urgent escalation triggers follow your clinical protocol and contact rules

Frequently asked questions

What counts as an urgent escalation?

Calls mentioning status migraine (attack lasting >72 hours), sudden worst headache of life, new neurological symptoms, loss of consciousness, or failed home treatment are escalated immediately. Your practice defines the full protocol.

Does the AI suggest ER evaluation?

The AI can suggest ER evaluation if the patient reports red-flag symptoms (sudden thunderclap onset, altered mental status, high fever with severe headache). Your protocol guides this routing.

Who is notified when a call is escalated?

Your on-call provider receives an alert via phone call, SMS, or in-app notification, depending on your escalation rules. You control the contact method and response time expectation.

Can the AI offer migraine reassurance after hours?

Yes. For stable patients with known migraine, the AI can offer reassurance and suggest comfort measures (rest, hydration, dark environment) while logging all interactions for your records.

How is overnight data handed off to day staff?

All after-hours calls are logged with patient intake summary, severity, and actions taken. Morning staff see a queue of overnight escalations and follow-ups with full context.
