Workflow
Some migraine calls are routine follow-up; others are status migrainosus, medication side effects, or first severe attack. An AI receptionist learns your escalation protocol and routes urgent calls to a nurse or provider on the first try.
A patient with sudden severe symptoms, neurologic changes, or concern about a new medication side effect reaches a clinician, not a scheduler. No voicemail, no callback delay, no patient escalating themselves a second time.
A patient calling to reschedule a preventive visit or request a refill goes to the appointment line. Your clinical staff focus on actual urgent calls: new severe attacks, medication side effects, and red-flag symptoms.
The system logs why the call came in: 'Worst headache of life, first occurrence' or 'Three-day migraine, nausea unrelenting.' The clinician picks up informed, not blindsided.
After 5 PM, the AI escalates urgent calls to your on-call provider or pages the on-call nurse. Routine calls are logged for callback during business hours. Nothing disappears into voicemail.

The AI errs on the side of escalation. If there's any indication of concern—a patient asking to speak to someone, symptoms they perceive as different, or medication confusion—the call routes to clinical staff for judgment.
Yes. Your clinic defines what triggers urgent routing. For example, a first-ever migraine might always escalate, while a routine follow-up preventive visit goes to scheduling. The AI learns your rules.
The AI can page the on-call provider, leave a message on the on-call line, or transfer to an external urgent care or emergency line if your clinic uses one. You define the after-hours escalation path.
No. The AI asks clarifying questions ('How would you rate the pain?', 'Is this like your usual migraine?') to determine urgency and route appropriately. All clinical assessment and advice comes from your staff.
Yes. Every escalation is recorded with the reason, caller info, and routing destination. Your team can review to ensure the protocol is working and refine it over time.
