Join 250+ healthcare providers with round-the-clock patient support
The "After-Hours Void" Problem
Patients abandoned during off-hours emergencies, such as weekend asthma exacerbations or nighttime pediatric fevers, leading to 25% higher ER diversions per AHRQ data
HIPAA compliance breaches from insecure chat tools exposing Protected Health Information (PHI) like patient demographics or treatment histories
Overloaded clinical staff missing routine appointment queries for routine check-ups or prescription refills amid high patient volumes
Delayed follow-ups on post-visit care instructions, such as medication adherence or wound care protocols after surgical discharges
Inaccurate symptom triage without expert guidance, risking misclassification of conditions like chest pain as non-urgent versus myocardial infarction
Lost revenue from unhandled insurance verification requests for prior authorizations on procedures like MRIs or specialist referrals

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Round-the-Clock Patient Care That Drives Loyalty
Capture Every After-Hours Opportunity
Capture Every After-Hours Opportunity: Urgent care peaks at odd hours—think weekend ankle sprains from sports injuries or late-night fevers in diabetic patients. Our chatbots respond in seconds, triaging non-emergencies via evidence-based protocols and booking slots instantly. Result? A 40% uptick in captured appointments within the first quarter, turning potential walk-aways into loyal patients without staffing costs, as seen in our deployments with community health centers.
Ironclad HIPAA Compliance, Zero Compromises
Ironclad HIPAA Compliance, Zero Compromises: Data breaches cost healthcare providers an average of $10 million each, per HHS reports. We build end-to-end encryption, role-based access controls, and audit trails into every chatbot, ensuring PHI like lab results or visit notes stays secure. Centers using our systems report zero compliance incidents over three years, freeing you to focus on patient care, not OCR audits.
Boost Satisfaction with Personalized Interactions
Boost Satisfaction with Personalized Interactions: Patients expect empathy, not robots. Our AI draws from your EHR patient history to offer tailored advice—like reminding a repeat visitor of allergy protocols before prescribing antibiotics. This patient-centric approach has lifted Net Promoter Scores by 28% in our six-month deployments at ambulatory clinics, fostering trust and referrals in a competitive field.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's chatbot, we'd lose half our evening calls to voicemails that went unanswered, especially for after-hours queries on flu symptoms or minor lacerations. Now, it handles insurance eligibility checks and basic triage using our EPIC workflows flawlessly— we've added 15% more daily visits without hiring extra staff in the past year. It's like having a night shift that doesn't burn out."
Dr. Elena Vasquez
Medical Director, QuickCare Urgent Care Clinic, serving 50,000 annual visits in urban Chicago
"HIPAA was our biggest worry with chat tools, but their custom build with de-identified data handling passed our Joint Commission audits with flying colors. In the first month, it resolved 70% of after-hours queries on its own, like post-op pain management instructions, cutting our callback volume in half during peak RSV season. Patients love the quick responses and feel more connected to their care team."
Mark Thompson
Operations Manager, Metro Urgent Care Network, managing 12 locations across the Midwest
"We integrated it with our Cerner EHR system in under two weeks, and it's already paying off with seamless data pulls. One weekend during a heatwave, it scheduled 20 walk-ins from symptom chats about dehydration or heat exhaustion that would've been missed otherwise. No more revenue leaks from off-hour gaps—our team's finally getting some rest while maintaining 24/7 access."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your chatbot ensure HIPAA compliance in urgent care settings?
Compliance is non-negotiable in healthcare. We embed end-to-end encryption, role-based access controls, and automated audit logs into every chatbot from the design phase. All patient data transmissions use secure protocols, and we conduct third-party audits to meet HIPAA standards. For urgent care, this means safely handling sensitive details like symptoms or allergies without exposure risks. We've helped centers avoid breaches that cost the industry $6.5 million on average per incident, ensuring your operations stay protected while providing fast service.
Can the chatbot integrate with our existing EHR system?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way API integrations with major EHRs like Epic, Cerner, or Athenahealth. This allows the chatbot to pull real-time patient records for personalized responses—think confirming vaccination history during a query. No more manual lookups. In one deployment, this cut response times by 70% for routine checks. We map your exact workflows during discovery to avoid disruptions, creating a seamless bridge that enhances care without overwhelming your IT team.
What happens if a patient query requires human intervention?
Our chatbots are smart but know their limits. For complex cases—like potential cardiac symptoms—they seamlessly escalate to your on-call staff, transferring the full chat history and context. This ensures continuity without repeating info. Escalations happen in under 30 seconds, and we train the AI to recognize urgency based on your protocols. Urgent care centers report 85% resolution rate autonomously, with the rest handled efficiently, reducing staff burnout during peak hours like flu season.
How quickly can we deploy this for our urgent care center?
From consultation to launch, most centers are live in 4-6 weeks. We start with a rapid discovery session to understand your needs, then build and test iteratively. Unlike template solutions, our custom approach fits your workflow precisely, including any unique triage rules. Post-launch, we provide 24/7 monitoring for the first month to tweak performance. One client went from concept to handling real queries in 28 days, capturing 200+ after-hours leads right away.
Will the chatbot handle high-volume periods without slowing down?
Scalability is built-in. Our architecture uses cloud-native frameworks that auto-scale to manage spikes, like holiday surges in urgent care visits. We've stress-tested systems to handle 1,000+ concurrent chats without lag. For context, a partner center saw query volume double during winter without issues, maintaining sub-10-second responses. This reliability means you never miss a patient, even at 2 AM on New Year's Eve, all while keeping costs predictable.
How do you train the AI to understand urgent care-specific language?
We train on your data: anonymized chat logs, protocols, and medical terminology tailored to urgent care—like distinguishing sprains from fractures. This creates context-aware responses that feel human. No generic training sets here; it's customized to your center's voice and guidelines. Post-training, we refine with live feedback loops. Clients note a 90% accuracy in initial responses, with continuous learning ensuring it adapts to evolving practices, like new COVID protocols.
