Workflow
Pain practices can't ignore after-hours calls—acute flares, post-procedure complications, and emergencies don't wait until 9 a.m. MedReception answers every after-hours call, triages severity, and notifies your on-call provider instantly.
Patients don't reach voicemail or an unavailable service. The AI greets them, assesses their situation, and either books a callback with your provider or handles routine scheduling. Patient anxiety is reduced because someone is listening.
Not every after-hours call is urgent. The AI separates routine messages from genuine emergencies so your provider is alerted to cases that truly need immediate attention, reducing alert fatigue and ensuring real emergencies are not missed.
Patients with acute pain who reach your AI and get a callback from your provider often avoid the emergency department. Quick triage and provider contact demonstrate care, improve patient satisfaction, and keep revenue in your clinic.
Your clinical staff arrives to a structured call log with overnight details. Pending urgent callbacks, routine appointment requests, and continuity notes are organized so your team can hit the ground running.
Urgent cases escalated with provider alert
On-call provider receives notification, caller ID, and clinical summary for immediate callback
Routine calls captured and organized
Follow-up requests and appointments booked into next-day schedule, ready for staff confirmation
Overnight call log prepared for morning handoff
Complete record of after-hours activity, pending callbacks, and continuity notes
Urgent calls trigger an automated alert to your on-call provider via SMS, phone call, or your practice's paging system. The alert includes caller ID, a summary of the clinical concern, and a callback number. Your provider then calls the patient directly.
The AI is trained to recognize life-threatening symptoms and immediately offers emergency routing. Depending on your settings, the call can be transferred to 911 or the patient is instructed to call 911 immediately. Your provider is also notified of the emergency transfer.
Yes. For routine follow-ups and non-urgent calls, the AI can book appointments into available next-day slots. Those appointments are confirmed with your staff in the morning and included in the morning handoff report.
Your practice configures escalation protocols. If the initial provider doesn't respond within a set timeframe, alerts can escalate to a backup provider, a nurse hotline, or trigger a message in your practice management system for morning staff follow-up.
Yes. A complete call log with caller information, triage summary, action taken, and any pending callbacks is available to your staff when they arrive. This ensures no urgent cases fall through the cracks and continuity of care is maintained.
The AI works alongside your EMR to confirm patient identity, pull relevant history, and book appointments into your schedule. Triage details and clinical summaries are captured as structured, EMR-pasteable notes for your morning staff to review and file into the patient record.
