The risk is letting AI drift into advice, promises, or sensitive decisions when the safe value is intake, routing, reminders, and summaries.
The workflow to build
Capture name, contact, reason for call, preferred times, urgency category, and routing notes. Send reminders and summaries under defined rules.
Where automation helps
It should not diagnose, provide clinical advice, guarantee availability, interpret symptoms, or make sensitive commitments.
What to measure
Urgent, unclear, sensitive, or out-of-scope messages should route to staff immediately with transcript and summary.
What not to automate
Review transcripts, escalation accuracy, abandoned calls recovered, staff time saved, and patient feedback.
