AI-powered triage for psoriasis flare calls: escalate urgent cases instantly, schedule routine follow-ups automatically

Distinguish routine psoriasis follow-ups from acute flares in real time. Urgent calls route to clinical staff; routine bookings proceed to EMR scheduling without staff delay.

How it pays back

Flares reach clinical staff fast

Psoriasis flare calls are identified by urgency signals and escalated immediately. No routing delay; no patient frustration. Clinical staff can prioritize acute cases and call the patient back.

Routine calls complete without staff

Patients calling for routine follow-up scheduling, medication refills, or pre-visit questions book directly with the AI. Appointments are recorded in your EMR. Your staff focus on clinical work.

Consistent triage criteria

Every flare call is assessed by the same trained criteria. No variability based on who answers the phone. Severity signals are standardized and logged for quality assurance.

24/7 triage readiness

After-hours flare calls are triaged and escalated to your on-call provider. Urgent cases don't wait until morning. Patients with severe symptoms get callback contact information within the call.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as an urgent psoriasis flare?

Signs of urgent flare: spreading or generalized rash, signs of secondary infection, fever, severe itching affecting sleep or daily function, facial or genital involvement, or any patient-reported emergency concern. The AI escalates any of these to your clinical team.

Do routine follow-ups require staff involvement?

No. Patients calling for appointment confirmation, medication refills, or routine follow-up questions are routed to scheduling and can book directly. The AI confirms appointment availability and records the booking in your EMR.

How is on-call escalation configured?

During setup, you provide your on-call contact, escalation hours, and urgency criteria. The AI applies these rules consistently. Urgent after-hours calls trigger a callback to the on-call provider or answering service.

Can patients describe their flare symptoms?

Yes. The AI prompts for flare location, severity, duration, triggers, current treatments tried, and any systemic symptoms. Responses are recorded, transcribed, and returned as a structured summary for clinical staff to review.

Is the triage outcome tracked for quality?

Yes. Every call is logged with triage category (urgent, routine, other), route destination, appointment details, and outcome. Your staff can review these logs for compliance, quality assurance, and protocol refinement.
