Pre-op clearance coordination
The agent books, reschedules, and confirms pre-op clearance appointments directly on your live schedule, so patients arrive cleared and ready instead of falling through a scheduling gap.
Post-op recovery milestone questions
Pain control, physical therapy progress, and weight-bearing status questions are answered and summarized into the practice's EMR, so the clinical team has a written record without taking the call.
Red-flag symptom triage
Fever, unusual swelling, or warmth at the surgical site are recognized as urgent. These calls reach the on-call surgeon by text with a secure summary link, not a voicemail waiting for morning.
Global-period visit awareness
A large share of joint replacement calls are bundled post-op visits inside the global period. Call summaries flag the reason for the call, helping your team get the visit type right for billing.

Why joint replacement post-op calls need a clinical layer
Joint replacement practices carry a heavier post-op call load than most surgical subspecialties. Patients call with real recovery questions, pain control, physical therapy milestones, weight-bearing status, and occasionally with symptoms that matter: fever, unusual swelling, or warmth at the surgical site. Getting that distinction right, every time, is the difference between a documented routine question and a surgeon reached in time.
ClinicFlow treats red-flag post-op symptoms as urgent by design. When a call meets escalation criteria your practice defines, it routes to the on-call surgeon by text with a secure summary link, instead of waiting for a callback the next morning.
Global-period visits and getting the call right for billing
A large share of joint replacement patient calls are bundled post-op visits that fall inside the global period. Coding the visit type correctly matters for billing, and it starts with an accurate record of why the patient called. ClinicFlow's call summaries capture that detail as part of routine documentation, so nothing gets miscoded because a message got shortened at the front desk.
