Migraine Care

Route migraine urgent calls to on-call providers and schedule acute visits without losing calls after 5 PM

Migraine emergencies don't follow office hours—status migrainosus, medication side effects, and severe breakthrough pain arrive at night and on weekends. After-hours calls are either missed or answered by a generic voicemail. AI call routing asks critical questions, determines urgency level, and either pages the on-call provider immediately or books an urgent morning appointment.

How it pays back

Urgent migraines reach your on-call provider in minutes

Instead of a voicemail callback delay, the AI gathers migraine severity, triggers, and medication details in real time, then immediately alerts your on-call provider with the full context. Acute interventions can start sooner.

On-call interruptions are meaningful, not exploratory

Your provider receives a structured alert with migraine history, current symptoms, and intake summary—not a vague message. They can decide in seconds whether the patient needs a callback, urgent in-person visit, or ER guidance.

After-hours urgent visits get pre-booked

AI schedules patients in your urgent or acute care slots for early morning, so they arrive with intake already complete. Your urgent-care provider starts the visit ready to treat, not gather history.

Weekend and holiday calls don't disappear

Calls are answered, triaged, and logged every day. Monday morning, your team sees every after-hours migraine call, who was contacted, and what next step was planned.

Frequently asked questions

How does the system decide if a migraine call is truly urgent?

The AI asks: duration (is this your worst headache ever?), current medications (have you taken your abortive/preventive?), functional impact (can you stand or see?), and prior ER history. Red flags like thunderclap onset, vision loss, fever, or persistent vomiting trigger immediate escalation. Non-urgent calls (routine refills, appointment questions) are logged for morning scheduling.

What does the on-call provider see when they're paged?

A structured alert with patient name, chief complaint (e.g., 'Status migrainosus since 8 PM, usual abortive ineffective, no fever'), current medications, relevant history, and a transcript of the intake call. The provider can call the patient back immediately with full context.

Can patients book urgent migraine visits on the call?

Yes. If the call is non-emergent but the patient needs to be seen soon, the AI offers available urgent care slots for early morning or the next available day and books them. Patient gets confirmation details on the call.

What if the on-call provider is already with another patient?

You set escalation rules: page the provider after one attempt, then escalate to the covering physician, nurse triage line, or urgent care intake staff. The system respects your hierarchy and ensures the call gets appropriate attention.

Are after-hours urgent calls integrated with your EMR?

The call intake, urgency flag, provider response, and scheduled appointment are captured and returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and file. Appointment bookings sync to your EMR; clinical details (symptoms, history, intake notes) are provided as an EMR-pasteable summary for your team to file.
