From Calls to Appointments — Automatically.
Carolina AI is WaitingMed's intelligent voice agent. It answers every call, books every appointment it can, escalates to human staff when necessary, documents every telephone interaction into your EHR, and runs your outbound campaigns — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in multiple languages. Your phone line becomes the most reliable member of your team.
Bottom line: patients always reach a voice, missed-call revenue stops leaking, and your phone line becomes a 24/7 booking engine — without hiring.
What Carolina AI Does
Your Most Reliable Team Member. On Every Shift.
Natural, human-like conversations that callers experience as professional and fluid — never robotic. Every interaction is captured, structured, and written back into the systems you already use.
- Answers every inbound call instantly. No voicemail, no hold, no missed opportunity.
- Books, reschedules, and cancels appointments with full multi-provider, multi-location availability logic. Instant confirmation by SMS or WhatsApp, in sync with your EHR.
- Documents every call directly into your EHR, CRM, or referral system — Telephone Encounters in eClinicalWorks, Athena Health, ModMed, and others. No double entry.
- Routes intelligently and escalates with full context. Staff receive the patient, the intent, and the conversation history in one handoff.
- Runs outbound campaigns automatically — reminders, gaps-in-care outreach, recall programs, surveys, and health risk assessments.
- Engages patients in multiple languages. No patient is excluded because of the language they speak.
