How to implement AI for phones & scheduling in a small practice

Answer every call, book and reschedule appointments, and send reminders without adding front-desk staff.

1. Count your calls for one week: volume, after-hours share, and the top 5 reasons people call.
2. Pick one narrow job first (e.g., after-hours answering or rescheduling), not everything at once.
3. Get a signed BAA for the exact plan you will use before any patient call is recorded.
4. Write the call script and escalation rules: urgent or clinical calls always go to a human immediately.
5. Run a two-week pilot, listen to a sample of calls every day, then expand.
