Never miss an after-hours psoriasis patient call: triage urgent cases and capture routine voicemails with AI

Psoriasis patients calling after hours reach your AI receptionist. Urgent cases are escalated to your on-call provider. Routine calls are captured, summarized, and queued for morning callback.

How it pays back

Urgent after-hours cases reach clinical staff

Psoriasis patients with severe flares, signs of infection, or functional impairment reach your on-call provider or answering service. No call is dropped or voicemail buried.

Routine calls are captured, not missed

Patients calling for routine questions, refills, or scheduling leave structured messages. Your staff review organized callback queues in the morning and prioritize by urgency.

Your on-call provider has context

When an urgent call is escalated, your provider receives the patient's name, reason for call, and AI-captured clinical summary. No information gap; full context for clinical decision-making.

Seamless handoff to morning staff

Routine voicemail summaries are ready for your morning team. No need to listen to long recordings or reconstruct patient intent. The AI summary gives your staff the facts they need to follow up efficiently.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI decide if an after-hours call is urgent?

The AI recognizes urgency signals: severe or spreading rash, signs of secondary infection, fever, severe itching affecting sleep, patient-reported emergency concern, or signs of systemic illness. Any of these trigger escalation to your on-call provider.

What information is provided to the on-call provider when a call is escalated?

The provider receives the patient's name, phone number, reason for call, and an AI-structured summary of the patient's description. This gives the provider context to decide whether to call back immediately, wait until morning, or direct the patient to urgent care.

How are routine voicemails handled?

Routine calls are captured with the patient's name, callback number, and a summary of their reason for calling (e.g., 'refill request for topical steroid', 'appointment cancellation'). Your staff review these summaries in the morning and callback during regular hours.

Can patients leave detailed messages?

Yes. The AI prompts the patient to describe their concern or reason for calling. Responses are transcribed, structured, and returned to your staff as a summary. Voicemail summaries include key details so your morning team can prioritize callbacks.

How is the on-call contact configured?

During setup, you provide your on-call contact number, escalation hours, and urgency criteria. The AI applies these consistently. Urgent calls route to the number you specify; routine calls are queued for morning staff.
