Clinical Workflow
How AI-powered call routing and medical triage capture urgent intent during intake and route calls to on-call staff or urgent care before patients hang up. Includes escalation rules, after-hours routing, and compliance.
No voicemail for chest pain or serious injury. AI detects urgency, rings the on-call provider directly, and hands off the patient with full context.
Night and weekend calls are routed to on-call staff or urgent care queues in real time. Patients know they're being helped, not left in a voicemail queue.
Urgent calls are triaged and routed before patients decide to go to the ER themselves. Provider oversight happens sooner, reducing avoidable ER visits and liability exposure.
Rules for orthopedic injury, psychiatric crisis, pediatric fever, or behavioral health emergency can be set independently. Each specialty or provider group gets its own escalation protocol.
Urgent calls escalate immediately
AI detects clinical urgency and routes to provider on-call without delay
After-hours rings provider directly
On-call provider's personal phone receives urgent call with patient context
Structured triage on handoff
Provider sees chief complaint, symptom timeline, and medication list before picking up
Custom routing rules
Configure per specialty, provider, or emergency protocol
The AI is trained on medical triage protocols and listens for high-risk keywords during intake (chest pain, difficulty breathing, loss of consciousness, uncontrolled bleeding, severe allergic reaction, suicidal ideation). When urgency is detected, the call is escalated immediately. Staff can also manually set urgency levels during intake if the AI is uncertain.
You define the routing: direct to on-call provider's personal phone, to an urgent care queue, to a nurse hotline, or to emergency services. The AI follows your protocol and delivers the patient with full context.
You set fallback routing: the call rings a second provider, then a third, then an urgent care line, then voicemail—whatever makes sense for your practice. The caller is never left hanging.
Yes. Urgency rules are configured per practice. Orthopedic practices might flag fracture risk; behavioral health might flag suicidal ideation; pediatrics might flag high fever. Each specialty gets its own escalation protocol.
Yes. Every routing decision is logged with timestamp, chief complaint, urgency reason, and destination. Audit logs are available for compliance review and quality improvement.
