Chronic Care Calls
Patients phone in BP logs, glucose numbers and daily weights. Capture the number and the context, and route by your thresholds, never the system's.
Everything downstream depends on the digits being correct. Values are read back to the caller for confirmation before the message is delivered, and are recorded as stated rather than paraphrased, rounded, or converted into a description like a bit high.
The line between a reading that interrupts someone and a reading that waits is a clinical decision your practice makes and can change at any time. The system holds no thresholds of its own, publishes none to patients as guidance, and applies only what you wrote.
One number in isolation tells a nurse very little. Structured capture means the readings a patient calls in across a week arrive as a series in your system, in the same fields every time, rather than as free text scattered across several phone notes.
Patients measure when they wake up, which puts a wave of readings on your line in the same half hour the acute callers and the check-in desk are competing for attention. Every line answers at once, so a reading call never queues behind the morning rush.
Unlimited concurrent calls
The morning wave of home readings does not block same-day access callers
Under 1 second to answer
A patient reporting a reading is picked up rather than asked to leave a voicemail
HIPAA BAA included
Reported values and identifiers encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS in transit
No. It makes no clinical determination about any value. It records what the patient reports and applies the routing rules your clinicians authored. Any interpretation happens when your staff open the message.
It declines to interpret, states the wording your practice has approved for that situation, and routes the call. It will not say a reading is normal, high, low, fine or worrying, and will not repeat a threshold back as if it were advice.
From you. Most practices adapt what is already in their standing orders or nurse protocol. We do not supply clinical values, and no example threshold discussed during setup is presented to your patients as guidance from anyone but your practice.
Writeback is available through API or FHIR for supported systems, and custom integration is available where no direct interface exists. Which applies to your system is confirmed during setup rather than assumed.
The value, the date drawn and where it was drawn are captured and routed to the person your protocol names, usually your anticoagulation nurse or the prescriber. No dose is discussed, confirmed or adjusted on the call under any circumstances.
Those feeds are unaffected. This is about the patient who picks up the phone, which happens whether or not a device transmits, and often because the patient wants a person to hear the number.
