Workflow
Pain management practices receive urgent calls outside business hours—post-procedure flare-ups, patient referrals, and follow-up questions. An AI receptionist answers every call, triages severity, escalates true emergencies to the on-call provider, and queues routine callbacks for morning staff.
Acute pain, neurological symptoms, or procedure complications trigger an immediate phone alert to the on-call provider. False alarms are filtered; urgent calls never sit in voicemail.
Post-op questions, prescription refill requests, and scheduling inquiries are logged and summarized. Your staff log in to a prioritized callback queue instead of hunting through voicemail.
When an ER or urgent care provider calls with a pain referral, the AI captures the patient details, chief complaint, imaging results, and insurance details. Your staff receive a structured handoff, not fragments from voicemail.
When an urgent call is escalated, the provider receives a summary of the patient's chief complaint, pain severity, prior procedures, current medications, and caller's specific concern—not just 'patient called with pain.'
Every after-hours caller knows they reached a real system. Urgent cases are handled immediately; routine cases are confirmed for callback. Your staff never face a stack of mystery voicemail on Monday morning.

The AI asks about pain severity, location, symptom onset, and any recent procedures. Red flags include severe pain unrelieved by home measures, numbness or weakness, shortness of breath, or signs of infection. If urgent indicators are present, the provider is alerted immediately. Routine questions go to the callback queue.
If the provider doesn't pick up within a set time, the system tries a backup provider or escalates to an on-call clinic protocol you configure. The patient is kept informed—either the provider will call back, or they are directed to an emergency room if symptoms warrant immediate care.
The AI answers the referral call, captures the patient name, date of birth, chief complaint, imaging or test results, and insurance details. The referral is logged as a high-priority intake for your team. Your staff see the referral in your intake dashboard and a structured summary the next morning.
Yes. Every after-hours call is timestamped, logged with caller details, pain severity assessment, outcome (escalation, callback, or referral), and provider notes if applicable. This log is searchable and exportable for quality review, patient continuity, and compliance audits.
Yes. After-hours call summaries and callback priorities are returned to athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Epic, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, AdvancedMD, and ModMed. Your morning staff log in to find all urgent and routine callbacks already queued in your EMR dashboard.
