Workflow

Route suspected fractures and acute injuries to on-call clinicians instantly

Detect and escalate acute injuries during intake, transferring calls to your on-call provider or emergency line while booking routine follow-ups.

How it pays back

Acute injuries don't wait for callback

A patient with a suspected ACL tear calls and reaches your on-call provider in minutes, not hours. The AI transfer includes injury context so the clinician is prepared.

On-call provider gets context before the call

Transfer includes mechanism, location, urgency flags, and patient contact info. No cold transfer with no information. Clinician can triage or advise immediately.

Routine calls don't interrupt clinical workflow

Follow-up appointments and routine questions book directly. Your clinician is not pulled out of an exam to handle an intake call. The AI handles both paths in parallel.

Liability reduced via documented routing

Every urgent call is logged with AI intake notes, urgency flag, escalation time, and routing destination. Your practice has a clear record of triage and response.

Urgent calls escalated immediately

No queue time for suspected fractures or acute injuries

Injury context included in transfer

Mechanism, onset, and severity flagged for clinician

Routine calls book in parallel

Non-urgent appointments confirmed without escalation

After-hours coverage available

Weekend and night escalations routed to on-call

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know if an injury is urgent?

It asks about mechanism (high-impact vs. minor), location, onset (sudden vs. gradual), ability to bear weight, presence of swelling or deformity, and prior episodes. Based on these, it scores urgency. High scores trigger escalation; lower scores book routine appointments.

What happens if the on-call provider doesn't answer?

The call can be configured to transfer to a paging service, emergency line, or fallback voicemail. The intake summary is logged and a callback is scheduled. Your practice sets the fallback protocol.

Can routine calls still be booked while urgent calls escalate?

Yes. The AI processes calls in parallel. A routine follow-up books directly while an urgent call escalates. Your staff see both in their queue, allowing them to handle each appropriately.

Is escalation available 24/7?

Yes. Configure after-hours routing to transfer urgent calls to your on-call provider's number, service, or emergency line. The system works around the clock.

What if a call is incorrectly marked as non-urgent?

Patients can request immediate escalation during the call. Additionally, staff can override the AI's routing and manually escalate if needed. The AI's suggestions improve over time based on your feedback.
