Frequently asked questions

What happens if a patient leaves a voicemail asking for an appointment?

The voicemail is transcribed and analyzed. The AI extracts the patient's requested time window and reason for visit. If appointments are available, the AI schedules the appointment and calls the patient back to confirm. If no appointments are available, the staff are alerted with a summary.

How do you handle urgent voicemails?

The AI analyzes the voicemail content for urgency keywords—chest pain, severe bleeding, difficulty breathing, etc. Urgent messages are flagged immediately and sent to clinical staff or on-call providers. Routine messages are processed in the standard workflow.

Does voicemail-to-appointment booking go into the EMR?

Booked appointments are written to your EMR. The voicemail transcript and intake summary are provided as a structured, EMR-pasteable format for staff to review and file, retained for compliance and continuity.

What if the voicemail is unclear or the patient doesn't state a clear appointment request?

Unclear voicemails are routed to staff for manual review. The AI transcription is provided as context, so staff can quickly understand the message and respond appropriately.

Can patients request a specific time slot via voicemail?

Yes. If a patient states a preferred time, the AI checks availability and offers that slot if open, or alternatives if not. The patient is reached by callback with confirmed times.
