Workflow
Pain patients call post-op with concerns outside business hours. Missing those callbacks leads to patient anxiety, ER visits, and practice liability. An AI receptionist answers every after-hours call, screens urgency, and escalates true emergencies to your on-call provider.
Your provider receives only calls needing immediate clinical judgment—not routine patient anxiety. The AI summary tells them pain level, timing, and prior treatment, so the callback is fast and clinically focused.
Documented, time-stamped triage of after-hours calls creates a clear record of clinical decision-making. Urgent complications are never missed, and your chart shows who was notified and when.
Patients who reach a live voice and hear from an on-call provider often avoid unnecessary ER visits. Proper triage and early reassurance reduce cost and improve outcomes.
Your front-desk team isn't woken by after-hours calls. Only clinical staff on-call handle urgent issues. Better work-life balance reduces turnover in a tight labor market.

The AI is configured to escalate immediately for: pain rated 9-10, numbness or paralysis, fever, sign of infection, or symptoms outside the expected post-procedure range. Routine post-op discomfort and medication questions are logged for staff callback in the morning.
The AI asks specific pain and symptom questions trained on your clinical protocols. If a caller says they're calling 911 or describes an emergency, the AI immediately confirms transfer and escalates to your provider. You also receive a real-time alert.
Yes. Routine calls are logged in a callback queue that your staff sees first thing in the morning. You prioritize and call back with clinical guidance or schedule an urgent visit if needed.
All recordings are retained per your compliance policy—typically 2–7 years—and stored in a HIPAA-encrypted vault. You control retention and can request audit logs at any time.
Yes. Your clinical team defines what counts as urgent, what pain levels trigger immediate callback, and which symptoms warrant ER referral. These rules update anytime your clinical protocols change.
