How an AI front desk handles it
Build the model on three inputs you can measure: abandoned calls, no-show rate, and staff hours currently spent on the phone.
- Abandoned calls recovered
- No-show rate improvement
- Staff hours returned to clinical work
- Conservative assumptions throughout
What to measure
Pick the metrics before go-live so the change is visible afterward. These are the ones that move first for this workflow.
- Answer speed and abandonment rate
- First-call resolution for this call type
- Staff hours returned to other work
- Patient-reported access experience
Getting it live
MedReception.ai personalizes this workflow to your practice: your rules, your escalation paths, your EMR. Personalized go-live typically runs 7 to 14 days.
- Map your current handling of this call type
- Define escalation and exception rules
- Connect the EMR handoff
- Test with real scenarios before go-live
Rollout checklist
- Document how this call type is handled today.
- Decide which cases must reach a human immediately.
- Define where the record should land in your EMR.
- Agree the metrics you will judge success on.
- Test with real call scenarios before go-live.
Frequently asked questions
How long does this take to set up?
This workflow is part of a standard MedReception.ai go-live, which typically runs 7 to 14 days including mapping, personalization, and testing.
Can we keep a human in the loop?
Yes. You define which cases escalate and to whom. The AI handles volume; your team keeps the judgment calls.
Does it work with our EMR?
MedReception.ai integrates with the major EMR platforms and can pass structured records into your existing workflow.
