Workflow: Scheduling
Migraine patients in severe episodes call looking for same-day or next-day relief. If your line is busy or closed, they call a competitor or go to the ER. AI reception answers instantly, captures their location and symptom severity, and books them into your held urgent slots.
When a patient in severe pain calls your clinic and gets a live voice offering an urgent appointment, they take it. They don't hang up and call the other headache center in town—or worse, drive to an urgent care that refers them back to you three days later.
You hold slots for acute migraine calls. Without AI reception, those slots sit empty if calls come after 5 PM or on weekends. The AI fills them with real urgent patients, so your provider's time is productive and your revenue is captured.
No more Friday night voicemails from patients in crisis or weekend calls that your staff missed. Every caller has an appointment or a direct callback from your provider. Your front desk starts Monday with a clean slate.
Your provider sees the call transcript and structured severity assessment. They know the patient's reported symptom onset, location, associated symptoms, and recent treatments before the patient walks in the door.

The AI will offer the next available urgent slot (typically the following morning), or you can configure it to flag the call as high-priority for your on-call provider to callback and make a clinical judgment about fitting the patient in. Your provider can also authorize a same-day callback if the severity warrants it.
The AI asks about symptom onset, severity, and duration based on your clinic's configured triage rules. Calls about preventive therapy or medication side effects are scheduled as routine callbacks. Your provider sets the escalation rules.
Yes. If the caller is vomiting, slurring, or expressing severe distress, the AI recognizes this and skips the full intake, immediately flags the call, and gets your on-call provider involved. The patient's prior history is already in your EMR, so your provider can take it from there.
Yes. Every appointment booked on the AI call is written to your EMR in real time. Your schedule is updated, your staff sees the new appointment, and there's no manual re-entry. If there's a conflict, your EMR alerts your staff immediately.
