Async message-urgency triage for the clinician inbox
A night's worth of patient messages lands in one flat queue, and the one that says "sharp pain since my dose" is buried behind a run of shipping questions. The agent re-orders the inbox so the clinician opens the urgent one first.
What it does
A scaling GLP-1 program turns the clinician inbox into a wall: refill questions, billing notes, "is this normal?", and the occasional genuine red flag all arrive in the order they were sent, at the same priority. The clinician works top to bottom, so response time on the message that actually matters depends on luck, and as volume climbs the urgent case waits longer behind the routine. The agent reads each inbound patient message as it arrives, classifies it by clinical urgency against the program's policy, and re-orders the clinician's existing queue so the highest-acuity messages surface first with the routine ones beneath. It ranks and orders the queue; it does not reply to the patient, diagnose, or touch a dose.
How it works
- 1Trigger. an inbound patient message lands in the clinician inbox (via the messaging channel or care platform), or a batch arrives overnight for the morning queue.
- 2Decision. the agent reads each message, scores it against the program's clinical-acuity policy and the patient's memory (medication, titration stage, recent reports), and assigns an urgency band — with conservative defaults that round any ambiguity upward, so a possible red flag is never buried.
- 3Action. the inbox is re-ordered so the highest-acuity messages sit at the top, each tagged with the reason it was ranked there and a one-line context summary; routine messages keep their place beneath, nothing is hidden or auto-answered.
- 4Follow-through. the ranking writes back to the care record for audit, a message that reads as acute is surfaced for immediate attention rather than left in the daily queue, and a "this got worse" follow-up re-ranks instantly.
Configuration
How the agent is wired for this use case.
message_received) from the messaging channel or care platform, or a batched overnight queue assembled for the morning- Messaging channel · read each inbound patient message as it arrives
- Clinical/EHR system · pull the patient's medication, titration stage, and recent reports to weigh the message in context
- Knowledge base · apply the program's clinical-acuity policy and the per-category urgency criteria
- Clinician inbox / care platform · re-order the queue, tag each message with its urgency band and a one-line reason, surface acute items for immediate attention
- Care-record system · log the ranking and the routing decision for audit
What you need
The inputs this use case runs on. Your channels stay yours; the agent supplies the judgment.
Signals
inbound patient messages (message_received), batched overnight queues, patient follow-up replies
Data
message text, patient medication and titration stage, recent symptom and visit history, persistent memory, the program's clinical-acuity policy and per-category urgency criteria, consent state
Guardrails
the agent ranks and orders only — no patient reply, diagnosis, dosing, or schedule advice ever; conservative defaults that round ambiguity upward so a possible red flag is never buried; clinician owns every reply and decision; full audit trail of every ranking; a worsening follow-up re-ranks immediately
Metrics it moves
- time-to-resolutiondown, because the urgent message is read first instead of waiting its turn behind routine traffic in a flat queue
- clinician-hours-savedup, as clinicians stop scanning a flat inbox to find what matters and open a queue already ordered by acuity
- safe-escalation-rateup, since a buried acute message is reliably surfaced to the top rather than reached by chance partway through the day
