AI Escalation Accuracy

Tracks how precisely MedReception AI detects urgent intent and routes calls to the right on-call clinician without flooding them with noise.

Use this KPI when clinical leaders ask whether AI will miss true emergencies. It measures the percentage of high-priority calls that AI escalates correctly on the first attempt, factoring in routing rules, language handling, and follow-up confirmations.

Expressed as % of urgent calls correctly triaged and escalated.

Define urgent vs. routine intents

  • Tag historical calls where clinicians had to intervene within 30 minutes.
  • Document disqualifiers (billing, refill requests) that should stay with AI.
  • Align escalation tiers with your on-call calendar and specialties.

Measure precision + recall

  • Compare AI-tagged urgent calls to clinician callbacks in the same window.
  • Spot-check transcripts weekly to verify accuracy and empathy.
  • Track false positives separately to prove workload impact on providers.

Assumptions

What this KPI assumes

Dual-channel monitoring

AI transcripts feed both the on-call line and the EMR inbox for redundancy.

Bilingual coverage

Accuracy benchmark assumes English + Spanish support with human escalation safety net.

QA cadence

Weekly calibration sessions with ops + clinical leadership keep routing rules current.
