Call Management

Log Every Missed Call & Automate Patient Callback: Never Lose Track of Unanswered Calls

Every missed or unanswered call is logged with caller details, intent, and urgency level. Your staff gets an automated callback queue prioritized by urgency, ensuring no patient is forgotten.

How it pays back

No Patient Slips Through the Cracks

Every missed call is automatically logged and assigned to a callback queue. Your staff has a clear, prioritized list of patients to reach out to—no calls are forgotten or lost in manual notes.

Urgent Callbacks Handled First

Missed calls flagged as urgent (emergency language, patient type, or clinical symptoms) rise to the top of the callback queue. Your staff addresses high-priority patients before routine calls.

Callback Attempts Tracked for Compliance

Each callback attempt is logged with date, time, outcome, and notes. Your practice maintains a complete audit trail of outreach efforts—important for compliance and quality assurance.

Staff Efficiency Improves with Structured Queue

Instead of hunting through voicemail or sticky notes, your team sees a structured callback list with caller context already populated. Reach-outs become faster, more organized, and higher-yield.

Frequently asked questions

How is a missed call logged if we don't know the caller's identity?

The call is logged by phone number and timestamp. If the caller left any information (name, reason for call), that is captured too. Your staff can cross-reference the number and attempt callback. If the number is unknown, it's still logged for documentation and potential future identification.

What determines the priority order in the callback queue?

Urgent flags (emergency language, high-acuity patient type, critical symptoms) place calls at the top. Within urgency level, calls are sorted by timestamp (oldest first). Your team can manually adjust priority if needed.

Can patients request a callback at a specific time?

Yes. During initial call capture, the AI can offer callback time preferences. Patients can request 'call me back at 3 PM' and the system schedules the callback for that window. Staff are notified of the preferred time in the callback queue.

How does the callback workflow integrate with our EMR?

Callback tasks are surfaced in the MedReception portal with patient details pulled from your EMR. Staff see patient history, previous visits, allergies, and clinical context while processing the callback queue. Callback outcomes and notes are captured in MedReception and presented as a structured summary for your team to review and file.

What happens if we successfully reach a patient on callback?

The staff member marks the callback as complete in the MedReception portal, logs the outcome (appointment booked, issue resolved, needs follow-up), and adds any notes. The callback is removed from the active queue.
