How Attainment checks fit
Attainment checks where after-hours call questions, implementation scope, pricing, and governance is losing value, then confirms whether Aida is the right fix. The goal is controlled improvement, not another tool added before the problem is clear.
Attainment starts by mapping after-hours call questions, implementation scope, pricing, and governance before recommending Aida.
Aida fits when the practice can define approved answers, schedule rules, privacy review, and fallback paths.
It does not fit when staff still need to decide every caller path in real time with no documented protocol.
Your team keeps policies, exceptions, clinical decisions, patient-record updates, and approval of the live configuration.
During configured coverage windows, Aida handles calls, captures caller requests, and prepares staff-ready handoffs.
An after-hours dental answering service handles incoming calls when your front desk is unavailable: evenings, weekends, holidays, lunch, and overflow. Aida captures the caller's reason for calling and relevant details, then prepares a staff-ready handoff. Where schedule access is supported and tested, Aida can book within the clinic-approved workflow. Otherwise, it prepares an appointment request for staff follow-up.
Aida is a live conversational AI, not a recording or a phone tree. Patients have a real back-and-forth conversation. Aida listens, understands context, handles interruptions, clarifies when needed, and adapts to what the caller says. The experience is closer to speaking with a live person than to navigating a voice menu.
No. Aida handles after-hours coverage: evenings, weekends, and holidays when your front desk is closed. Your team continues handling daytime calls, patient care, and complex scheduling during business hours. Most practices use Aida as a complement to their front desk, not a replacement.
How Aida introduces herself is configured with you at setup: as your practice's answering service, or with explicit AI disclosure where your jurisdiction or practice policy requires it. If a patient asks whether they are speaking with a person or a computer, Aida always discloses that she is an automated assistant and offers to have someone call back during business hours.
Aida is configured to ask for confirmation when a caller's details are unclear rather than guessing. Your team can review the staff-ready handoff and follow up when more information is needed.
Aida supports PHIPA and PIPEDA-aware planning. Configured CDCP intake uses approved fields and staff review.
Yes. Aida supports a configured CDCP intake workflow after hours: it collects clinic-approved member and eligibility fields, confirms the clinic's approved next steps, and prepares a request for staff review. Where schedule access is supported and tested, the clinic can approve direct booking within its workflow.
Aida is planned with PHIPA and PIPEDA considerations in mind. Before launch, the clinic and Attainment document processing location, access, retention, and applicable vendor terms for the intended workflow.
Before launch, the clinic and Attainment document the proposed processing location, access, retention, and applicable vendor terms. This supports privacy planning for Ontario practices and helps clinics assess their own applicable requirements.
Any required privacy and vendor documentation is reviewed before launch. The exact documents depend on the clinic's workflow, the services involved, and the applicable vendor terms.
Aida is configured around your call coverage, scheduling workflow, clinic-approved escalation rules, and staff handoff process.
Schedule access and any practice management system connection are scoped before launch. Direct booking is available only where the required access is supported and tested. Otherwise, Aida prepares a complete appointment request for the clinic's staff workflow.
The launch plan is set after consultation because it depends on the clinic's call coverage, scheduling workflow, escalation rules, and required testing. Configuration covers the clinic details and handoff process agreed for the engagement.
Usually not. The call-forwarding approach is confirmed during consultation based on your existing phone setup and desired coverage hours.
Configuration changes are handled under the agreed service scope. The clinic and Attainment confirm the requested change and any testing needed before it is used for live calls.
Aida pricing is quoted after consultation and includes a one-time setup fee plus a monthly service fee for the agreed scope.
Pricing is quoted after consultation because the scope depends on your clinic's call coverage, scheduling workflow, escalation rules, and locations. The quote includes a one-time setup fee plus a monthly service fee for the agreed service.
Your quote sets out the agreed call coverage, configuration, staff handoff process, and any approved scheduling workflow. It also states the one-time setup fee and monthly service fee.
Commercial terms are confirmed in the quote and agreement after consultation. Ask about the options that fit your clinic's intended scope.
Setup is a one-time part of the engagement. It covers the configuration, testing, and launch preparation agreed for your clinic, including call coverage, handoff details, and clinic-approved escalation rules.
When configured and tested, Aida can support English and French after-hours or overflow coverage, CDCP intake, and staff handoffs.
Aida can support English and French call flows when the language, clinic-approved intake, and handoff process are configured and tested for the practice.
Coverage windows, including 24 hours a day, 7 days a week service, are available only when the clinic's forwarding, service scope, and testing support them. Clinics can also scope lunch coverage and overflow periods.
Aida does not diagnose or make clinical decisions. For urgent situations, it follows the clinic-approved escalation instructions, captures the caller's contact details and request, and prepares the staff handoff or routes the call only where that escalation path has been configured and tested.
