Workflow
Pain management practices receive calls across a spectrum of urgency: routine follow-ups, pre-procedure questions, medication refill requests, and acute pain crises. An AI receptionist listens for clinical triggers, assesses urgency, and routes each call to the appropriate endpoint—provider, nurse triage, or urgent care guidance.
Callers describing severe, uncontrolled pain are connected to an available provider or escalated to urgent care immediately—not placed in a callback queue.
Calls from patients in the 24–72 hours post-injection are monitored for fever, infection signs, or neurological changes; concerning findings are flagged for clinical review.
Only true urgencies page providers. Routine refills, pre-procedure questions, and follow-up calls are triaged to nurses or scheduled staff, preserving provider focus.
Structured triage notes ensure every caller's clinical context reaches the receiving clinician, reducing errors from missed communication or unclear voicemail notes.
Clinical urgency recognized
Severe pain, emergency red flags, and post-procedure complications detected and escalated in real time
Right-touch routing
Acute cases reach providers; routine calls reach nurses or scheduling; follow-ups offered for next-day callback
Contextual call summary
Pain severity, onset, timing, medications tried, and clinical history captured and delivered with every routed call
No emergency calls missed
Every call answered and triaged; true emergencies escalated; no voicemail gaps
It asks about onset (sudden vs. gradual), character change (new quality or location), severity compared to baseline, and whether it occurred at rest or with activity. Sudden, worst-ever pain or new neurological symptoms trigger urgent routing.
The AI captures the symptom, onset, severity, and any prior reactions in a structured summary for clinical review. If the caller describes severe symptoms (allergic reaction, difficulty breathing, chest pain), it escalates to a provider immediately. If mild or expected, it offers nurse consultation or callback.
Yes. It can check your EHR for a prior auth submitted and report status. If pending, it offers to have staff call the insurance company and callback the patient; if denied, it offers to route the call to clinical staff for appeals guidance or support.
The AI routes the call to a clinician after capturing the patient's current controlled medication list and refill history in a structured summary. Clinicians review the prescription drug monitoring program and make the prescribing decision.
The AI recognizes this as a potential nerve injury, immediately escalates to the provider or urgent care, and documents all details (location of numbness, onset time, progression) in the alert.
Yes. If you configure it, calls from patients who recently had epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, or radiofrequency ablation can be routed to specific providers or teams based on procedure type.
