Nurses can’t close tickets because phones never stop.
MedFrontDesk Playbook
Nurse Line Relief
Give nurses their focus back. Katie manages symptom updates, portal questions, and prescription status calls.
When to run this playbook
Documentation suffers when they multitask.
Patients escalate to ER when they can’t reach someone.
Caller journey (high-level)
01
Intent mapping
AI differentiates symptom updates vs. medication vs. wound care.
02
Structured logging
Each call produces a structured summary dropped into the nurse inbox.
03
Escalation filters
High-acuity signals page the nurse; routine messages wait for asynchronous review.
