Every decision we make is based on your requirements, not judgment calls. That means no more being woken up in the middle of the night for a call you don’t handle after hours, no more missing important messages, and no more data entry errors. We take good care of your patients while also protecting your private time.
100% Customized Services. Every Medical Provider’s account is built from the ground-up to meet their patients, staff, and physician’s unique needs.
Physician Specific Dispatch Instructions. We know physicians have different on-call needs and that is why we have scripted individual dispatch instructions for each physician in the practice.
Scripted Dispatch. Eliminates non-emergency calls being dispatched and calls going to the wrong on-call. We understand the balance between addressing patient needs and recognizing the value of your physician’s free time.
