Clinical Workflow
Migraine clinics field acute crisis calls alongside routine refills and follow-ups. AI reception asks targeted questions to identify severity, then routes acute cases to your on-call provider or ER guidance, while routing routine calls to the booking queue.
False alarms are eliminated; your on-call provider receives calls only when migraine severity or red flags warrant immediate review.
Critical cases skip the appointment queue and reach your clinician in minutes, not hours.
Medication refills, follow-up scheduling, and appointment changes are handled by AI and logged for batch processing by your staff.
Every call is documented with symptom severity, triage questions asked, and routing decision. Your team has a clear audit trail if escalation or ER referral was needed.
Acute migraine calls escalated immediately
On-call provider notified within 1 call; non-urgent calls logged for morning queue
Red-flag symptom detection
AI asks about neurological symptoms, medication failures, and onset patterns
Routine-urgent separation
Medication refills, follow-ups, and appointments routed to normal workflow; true emergencies go to clinician
Complete call documentation
Triage questions, answers, and routing decision logged for compliance and quality review
The AI asks about onset (sudden or gradual), pain intensity (1–10 scale), location and quality (throbbing, pressure), neurological symptoms (vision, numbness, weakness), and whether rescue medications have been tried. Based on answers, it assigns a triage level.
New worst headache of life, sudden onset with neurological symptoms (vision change, numbness, paralysis), fever, altered mental status, failed abortive medications, or prolonged status migrainosus. Your clinician sets the escalation rules.
The AI checks the time and your on-call schedule. If a call meets escalation criteria during off-hours, the on-call provider is paged or texted with a summary. The patient is told a clinician will call back shortly.
The AI is trained to err on the side of caution. If there are any red flags or if the patient expresses worry, the call is escalated to your on-call clinician for a quick phone assessment.
The AI records the triage questions, patient answers, severity assessment, and routing decision as structured text. Your staff review it and file it into the patient's chart; it is returned as a structured summary for your team to review and file, rather than auto-populating clinical documentation.
