Workflow
Migraine patients in crisis need immediate provider contact, not voicemail. AI-powered escalation captures the call, flags urgency, and reaches on-call staff in seconds with full clinical context.
AI captures the call, identifies urgency, and pages on-call provider with full context instantly. Provider has caller info, symptom summary, and clinical history ready for decision—call them back or advise ER visit.
AI tries multiple contact methods (phone, SMS, app notification) and confirms receipt before updating caller. If provider doesn't respond, AI has a backup escalation path—another provider, clinic answering service, or ER referral guidance.
Patients don't sit wondering if their message was received. AI tells them a provider will contact them within X minutes, or gives them ER guidance if it's truly emergent. Transparency reduces anxiety and prevents ER self-referrals for non-emergencies.
AI triages calls so providers only get paged for genuine urgent cases. Routine questions go to nurse callback or morning scheduling. Providers get better sleep; clinic avoids unnecessary on-call burnout.

Call outcome tracked
Staff see which calls were escalated and provider response time
AI asks about current symptoms, pain level, and any danger signs (worst headache ever, vision changes, weakness, altered speech). Callers reporting red flags or acute severe migraine are flagged urgent. Routine refill requests or follow-up scheduling goes to regular queue.
AI logs the escalation, tries backup contact method (SMS, app), and waits briefly. If no response, AI either escalates to second provider on rotation, offers urgent care referral, or advises caller to go to ER. Staff are notified of the failed page so they can follow up.
Yes. You define what counts as urgent (severe pain + no relief med taken, first-time worst headache, status migrainosus, etc.), which provider gets paged first, backup contacts, and routing rules. AI learns your workflow and applies it consistently.
Yes. AI tells the caller: 'Your migraine sounds urgent. I'm contacting our on-call provider now. You'll hear back within 5 minutes, or I'll let you know if you should go to the ER.' Patient knows the next step and doesn't panic.
