Triage Rules
Who owns voice notes — and what they must never do
- Ack within first-reply SLA: “received — listening / will reply in text”
- Prefer text reply after listen — so the thread stays searchable
- Flag pain, swelling, bleeding, or locked jaw for clinical escalation
- Never dose, diagnose, or guarantee outcomes from audio alone
- Stop-rules: no forwarding patient voice notes to personal phones; no AI freestyle clinical answers
Consent & Retention
Audio is still patient data
Retention: clinic chat GDPR PDPA retention schedule. Consent basics: clinic chat consent compliance basics.
Ops
Voice notes need a shared inbox, not one hero phone
