Workflow

Separate medication refills and routine follow-ups from new-onset migraines—route each call type to the right person

Identify caller intent on the first ring: medication refill, follow-up visit, medication adjustment, or new-onset migraine. Route to refill desk, clinician, nurse line, or urgent appointment accordingly.

Ask single qualifying question early: "Are you calling about a new headache, a refill, or to schedule a follow-up?"
Route refills to your refill desk or nurse line; no doctor's time spent on routine requests
Route new-onset or severe presentations to urgent slots or on-call
Route follow-up questions or adjustment requests to the appropriate clinician
Capture brief context for each call type to reduce back-and-forth
Track call volume by type so you can staff appropriately (refills peak certain days; acute calls spike during weather patterns)

How it pays back

Staff focus on their role, not call triage

Refill desk handles refills; clinicians get meaningful follow-ups or acute cases; on-call is alerted to emergencies. No time wasted routing calls internally.

Callers reach the right person faster

Routine refills are processed in minutes by the refill desk instead of waiting for a clinician callback. Acute migraines reach urgent slots. Caller experience improves.

Workload data drives scheduling

Track refill volume, follow-up request frequency, and acute call patterns. Staff your refill desk and clinical lines based on real demand, not guesswork.

Intent-based routing

Refills, follow-ups, new-onset, and urgent cases routed to appropriate staff or appointment slot

Call type tracking

Volume and timing data shows peak refill days, seasonal acute call patterns, and staffing needs

Context passed to each route

Refill desk sees medication name and patient ID; clinician sees chief complaint and prior treatment

Frequently asked questions

How does the system know if a call is a refill vs. a new-onset migraine?

The AI asks: "Are you calling about a new headache today, a medication refill, a follow-up appointment, or something else?" Caller intent is stated directly. Refills are routed to your refill desk; new-onset goes to urgent or clinical assessment.

What if a patient says "refill" but then describes a severe new migraine?

The system listens for contradictions and red flags. If the caller says they need a refill but describes thunderclap onset or neurological symptoms, the call is re-routed to clinical or urgent assessment.

Can we handle migraine refills entirely through the AI?

The system captures the refill request and patient identification and routes it to your refill desk or nurse line with full context. Your staff review, approve, and send the prescription. Clinical review is preserved.

How do we know which calls are routine follow-ups vs. urgent adjustments?

The AI asks whether the patient is calling to schedule a routine follow-up visit or because their current migraine treatment isn't working. Urgent adjustments are flagged for clinician callback; routine follow-ups are booked for the next available slot.
