Clinical Portal Troubleshooting Guide

Common issues and resolutions for the AI Receptionist and Document Sorter, including escalation paths.

Written by Maria Ubaldo

This guide covers the most common issues you may encounter with the MBSPro Clinical Portal — across both the AI Receptionist and the Document Sorter — along with the recommended resolution and escalation path for each.

If an issue persists after following the steps below, please contact the relevant team listed at the end of this article.

I. AI Receptionist

Inaccurate Information or Knowledge Gaps

Description

The AI agent is providing outdated or incorrect clinic details (e.g., hours, billing policies).

Resolution

Audit and update the Internal Knowledge Base (KB). Ensure all clinic-specific source documents reflect current practice policies.

Failure to Escalate or Forward Calls

Description

The AI is failing to transfer calls to the physical front desk during designated escalation triggers.

Resolution

Escalate to ASAP Team (AJ Lemay) for a review of the call-routing configuration and SIP trunk connectivity.

Patient Identity Verification Failures

Description

The AI is unable to match the caller’s details with an existing record.

Resolution

Verify that the patient’s contact details are up to date. If the issue persists across multiple patients, check the integration status to ensure the AI has access to the most recent patient database. If the problem persists, refer to the Development Team.

Unexpected Call Terminations

Description

Patients are experiencing dropped calls or premature “hang-ups” during the interaction.

Resolution

Direct this to ASAP Team (AJ Lemay) to investigate the “End-of-Call” logic and silence-threshold settings.

Appointment Availability Errors

Description

The AI reports “no appointments available” despite open slots appearing in the clinic calendar.

Resolution

Log a ticket with the Development Team to investigate the potential issue.

Inbound Connectivity Failures

Description

Incoming calls are failing to reach the AI interface, resulting in busy signals or unanswered lines.

Resolution

Escalate to ASAP Team (AJ Lemay). This requires a coordinated investigation between MBSPro and the clinic’s local IT/Telephony provider.

IVR / Selection Failure (Phone Split)

Description

The “Phone Split” menu is malfunctioning, preventing patients from selecting between the AI agent and the human reception team.

Resolution

Contact ASAP Team (AJ Lemay) to verify the IVR configuration. This typically involves syncing MBSPro settings with the clinic’s IT provider.

Audio Quality or Naturalness Concerns

Description

Patients report that the AI voice sounds robotic, unclear, or has distorted audio.

Resolution

Submit a report to the MBSPro Support Team. Please include the approximate date and time of the call so the engineering team can review the specific call logs and optimise the neural voice synthesis.

II. Document Sorter

Unidentified Patient Records (Zero Matches)

Description

The Document Sorter is unable to find a matching patient profile for incoming digital or scanned correspondence.

Resolution

Refer to the Development Team to audit the accuracy and the “Matching Logic” parameters.

Document Upload or File Rejection

Description

The system fails to process an upload or rejects a specific document file.

Resolution

Ensure the file is in a supported format (PDF, JPG, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, or TIF) and does not exceed the 4 MB size limit. If the file is too large, re-scan the document at a lower resolution and attempt the upload again.

Emailed Correspondence Sync Failures

Description

Documents sent via email are not appearing within the MBSPro portal for processing.

Resolution

Verify the sender is using the unique MBSPro email address assigned to the specific clinic. Allow 3–5 minutes for processing. If the file still does not appear, check the sender’s “Sent” folder for bounce-back notifications indicating a security or size block.
