Workflow
Pain practices lose revenue and patient trust when flare calls hit voicemail or take hours to return. MedReception's AI detects urgent pain language in real time and routes directly to your on-call provider—no staff involvement, no delay.
By connecting urgent flare calls directly to the on-call provider within minutes, patients get clinical assessment without voicemail delays. Patients who know they can reach their provider for pain flares are less likely to self-refer to the ED.
The AI applies consistent triage logic—same rules, every time—so no staff subjective judgment creates delays or misroutes. Front desk is freed from gatekeeping and can focus on scheduling and admin work.
Medication refill requests, appointment change questions, and pre-operative information calls go to the right queue (nurse, scheduler, admin) so the on-call provider is only contacted for true flares or emergencies.
The AI logs pain severity, location, medication history, and recent procedure dates in the call summary so the provider knows the clinical picture immediately—no 'tell me what's going on' delay.
Practices using AI-driven urgent routing report that patients with reliable after-hours access to their pain provider experience faster clinical assessment for flare management.
Urgent calls escalated instantly
Pain flare language detected and routed to on-call provider within seconds of call start
Zero staff gatekeeping
AI applies triage rules consistently; calls route without front-desk review
Non-urgent calls triaged correctly
Routine, medication, and scheduling calls routed to appropriate queues, not on-call provider
The AI is trained to recognize pain-severity language like 'can't move,' 'can't function,' 'severe pain,' 'unbearable,' 'emergency,' 'flare,' and 'help me now,' as well as post-procedure pain language. You can customize the keyword list to match your practice's specific terminology.
After a configurable timeout (typically 60–90 seconds), the AI offers the caller options: schedule an urgent appointment for the next available slot, be transferred to an answering service if you use one, or receive guidance on when to seek ER care.
Yes. You define the escalation rules during setup—e.g., 'pain + can't move = page on-call provider,' or 'pain + post-op day 1 = page on-call provider.' Rules are updated as your practice protocols change.
If a caller mentions symptoms like 'chest pain,' 'can't breathe,' or 'stroke symptoms,' the AI immediately advises calling 911 and provides guidance—it does not attempt to triage these to your on-call provider. You configure emergency keywords separately from pain-flare keywords.
Yes. The call is logged with the caller's pain severity, location, and relevant context (recent injection date, current medications, etc.) in a structured summary so the provider has clinical context before picking up the phone.
