New capability brings human-level conversation to non-clinical patient calls, ensuring urgent needs are identified and escalated without delay
CareXM has announced the launch of an AI Voice Agent within its non-clinical answering platform, designed to help healthcare providers manage growing call volumes without increasing operational pressure. The new system replaces traditional IVR menus with natural conversational dialogue that engages patients immediately, captures multiple requests in a single call, sequences follow-ups for care teams, and escalates urgent clinical needs to providers in real time.

Si Luo, Chief Executive Officer of CareXM, said the innovation reflects customer feedback and represents a significant step toward creating a seamless, continuous view of interactions across clinical, non-clinical, and operational workflows. As healthcare organizations face rising patient demand, workforce shortages, and higher expectations for responsiveness, administrative calls continue to consume substantial staff time. CareXM’s AI Voice Agent addresses this challenge by streamlining routine call handling, applying provider-specific workflows, and delivering contextually relevant information to callers, allowing clinicians and administrative staff to focus on high-value patient care.

The updated platform includes two AI-driven capabilities that support different aspects of patient interaction. Conversational AI allows real-time dialogue using natural language processing, speech recognition, and automated response generation to address non-urgent requests without scripted menus or long wait times. When paired with CareXM’s nurse triage and coordination services, it reduces IVR fatigue while ensuring urgent or complex situations are immediately directed to licensed nurses. Assistive AI complements this by summarizing messages and highlighting key details so care teams can quickly assess needs, prioritize responses, and act efficiently.
Combined, these capabilities enhance care coordination by accurately capturing patient intent, following escalation protocols, and providing actionable information to care teams. Providers benefit from more precise escalation, smoother follow-ups, and consistent call handling across their organization. Si Luo emphasized that this advancement helps organizations operate under constant pressure to improve responsiveness while optimizing limited resources. He added that the AI Voice Agent ensures urgent needs are identified and escalated quickly, allowing clinicians to focus on delivering care at the top of their license.
This new feature integrates seamlessly with CareXM’s broader care coordination model, supporting accurate routing and escalation during regular hours while reducing the burden of non-clinical calls after hours. By combining conversational and assistive AI, the platform strengthens both operational efficiency and patient experience, making non-clinical interactions faster, more accurate, and easier to manage for healthcare teams.
