Workflow
Migraine emergencies require fast provider contact. AI reception captures the call, filters urgency, and notifies on-call immediately via phone or text—staff only engage when escalation is confirmed.
On-call providers know every alert is a filtered urgent case—not a routine refill or appointment question. They can prioritize and respond faster.
AI handles the initial conversation and escalation logic. Staff is not woken to relay messages or gather details; they engage only for documentation after the provider decides.
Provider receives the full picture—onset, duration, severity, aura, current treatment—in the alert. No telephone tag to fill gaps.
Filtering out non-urgent calls (appointment reschedules, prescription refill status, billing questions) dramatically reduces alert fatigue and provider burnout.

Provider receives onset, severity, triggers, and prior treatment in the notification
No staff relay required
AI and provider communicate directly; staff documents after clinical decision is made

Provider call-back, urgent appointment, or triage instruction captured and ready for chart
Your clinic sets a fallback protocol: attempt a second number, page, or text escalation. If no provider responds within a set time window, the call can escalate to an answering service or be held for your daytime staff with a priority flag.
Yes. If the provider doesn't respond to the AI's alert, the AI can offer to record a message for the on-call provider or direct the patient to go to the ER if symptoms are severe. The AI never abandons the call.
Your clinic configures the urgency rules: status migrainosus (migraine lasting >72 hours), first-time severe headache, thunderclap onset, focal neuro symptoms, or pain scores above a threshold. Anything matching those criteria triggers escalation.
Yes. You maintain a current on-call schedule in your EMR or in MedReception. The AI reads that schedule and routes to the active provider. Updates take effect immediately.
The AI handles those independently—no on-call involvement. Refill requests are logged for daytime staff review, and appointment reschedules are offered from available slots. The on-call provider is only contacted for clinical urgency.
