Workflow

Route patient calls to the correct pain center location—new patients to closest site, existing patients to their provider's location

Multi-location pain networks need intelligent call routing. AI answers the main line, identifies whether the caller is new or established, and routes to the appropriate location based on geographic preference, provider availability, or existing patient relationships.

How it pays back

New patients reach nearest available site

AI identifies geography or preferred location and routes new pain consultations to the closest center—reducing wait times and improving conversion.

Established patients stay with their provider

AI recognizes existing patients and routes them back to their established provider's location (or a designated backup), improving continuity and patient satisfaction.

Reduced call transfer friction

Single AI line handles all locations. Patients are routed once—no blind transfers, no re-explaining their situation, no holds.

Intake captured once, used by any location

AI gathers pain history and patient info once during initial call. Structured summary is routed to the receiving location's EMR for staff review and filing, eliminating duplicate intake.

Single point of entry for all locations

Unified main line routes to correct pain center without caller confusion

Routing rules per patient segment

New patients to closest/available site; established to their provider's location

Urgent calls escalated by location

Emergency calls routed to on-call provider at appropriate center immediately

Intake data unified across locations

Structured summary sent to any location's EMR—no duplicate data entry

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know if a caller is an existing patient?

The AI uses caller phone number, name, or patient ID lookup against your EMR(s) to identify existing patients. New callers are flagged as prospects and routed to new patient scheduling or the nearest location.

What if a patient's preferred provider is not available?

You set routing rules for backup scenarios. The AI can route to a backup provider at the same location, to another location with available slots, or to on-call staff. You maintain full control over the fallback hierarchy.

Can each location have its own EMR, or do they share one system?

The AI works alongside any EMR setup. If each location uses the same EMR system (like ModMed Pain across multiple centers), appointment bookings and patient demographics route directly to the patient record. If locations use separate systems, the structured intake summary is routed to the receiving location's system for staff review and filing.

How are intake summaries routed to the correct location's EMR?

The AI routes the structured intake summary to the location's EMR system based on routing rules you've configured. Staff at each location review and file the summary, ensuring accuracy and compliance with your workflow.
