Triage

Focus on the Right Cases at the Right Time

Updated over a week ago

AI-powered Client Intelligence™ transforms scattered communications into actionable insights. By identifying client priorities, at-risk relationships, and recommended actions, you can work smarter, respond faster, and deliver a more human experience for your entire caseload. In this article, we'll review the Case Status Triage feature. Built into the new Communicator Interface, Triage helps surface the most important cases for you to be working on at any given moment, tools to help keep focus on the right cases, and AI-powered insights into what to do next.

Triaging cases involves two primary steps. First, prioritize your cases to ensure the most important cases are first to address. Your case list in Triage can be further filtered by staff assignments, and issue types. Second, once you know you're working on the right cases, take action to address case blockers. AI-powered Client Intelligence™ will assist you every step along the way, from surfacing the right cases to work on, to suggesting concrete next steps to address blockers.

To access Triage, open the Beta Communicator Interface. Click the menu in the top-left corner of the sidebar, then select Triage.

Prioritize Your Cases

Your case list in Triage is ordered by the priority of each case, as shown by different colored flags:

You can filter cases by these priority levels at the top of the Triage case

  • To show All Cases or just My Cases.

  • You can also filter to view other Assignees on cases.

  • By Case Priority flags

    • High priority

    • Medium priority

    • Low priority

  • By Issue Types

    • Unanswered client messages

    • Overdue tasks

    • Missing treatment logs from the client

    • Appointment missing confirmations from the client

    • Low staff activity

    • Cases on hold

    • Phone connection issues

Taking Action

With cases prioritized, it's time to take action to address the blockers on each of your cases. Let Client Intelligence™-powered Insights guide you.

  1. Click the Insightsbutton next to each case, to get an overview of why the case is marked at its priority, and what you can do to address the scenario given in the case.

  2. Next to each blocker there will be an action button. This action may be different depending on the blocker. For example, for an overdue task, you will see a link to the Tasks tab, where you can mark tasks as complete, or adjust their due dates.

  3. If its suggested to send a message to your client, you can write the message directly from Triage by clicking the Pencil icon . An AI-generated recommended response will appear, which you can choose to Send, Edit, or Clear to write your own message.

Marking as Resolved

Once you complete taking action on a case, check the Mark as Resolved button in the Insights for the case. You can mark a case as resolved even if you did not actually address all of the case blockers, this will still move the case to the Resolved tab at the top of the Triage sidebar. However, the case will return to the Active tab the following day to again show you that the case requires your attention.

Snoozing a Case

Sometimes, cases that show in a triage list do not require immediate action. In these moments, you are able to snooze a case so it is no longer on the list, allowing you to focus on remaining cases in the Triage list. Cases can be snoozed for one, three, or seven days.

Note

If the client sends a new message to the firm while the case is snoozed, it will reappear in the Triage list. Other changes to priority will not change a cases's Snooze status.

Assign Cases To Other Staff Members

In some instances, the action needed on a case must be performed by someone else assigned to the case. For example, if a scheduler needs to adjust an appointment, or if an Attorney needs to answer a specific question. In these cases, click the Assignees button , where you can select a fellow staff member to be alerted that they need to look at the case. Case Status will alert you of these assignments in the Notification area at the top of the Communicator Interface.
