WHY BAYLOR COLLEGE OF MEDICINE CHOOSES AMBS CALL CENTER

"After-hours care can’t wait."

My name is Recobie Williams.
I am the Senior Manager of Clinical Operations at Baylor College of Medicine.

Recobie manages their patient and provider vendor platforms—including their Ambs Call Center integration with QGenda—and I she builds schedules to keep the integration simple but fool-proof.

We serve patients across the Texas Medical Center and partner with St. Luke’s for procedures.

the problem

“We have an in-house call center 7 am – 5 pm, but our doctors take calls across multiple hospitals. There needed to be a solution to make sure consults are delegated after hours.”

Baylor’s footprint means physicians rotate at St. Luke’s, Methodist, the VA, and beyond, so after-hours consults can’t stall.

Historically, messages could pend when an on-call wasn’t listed or reachable. In healthcare, that’s not a nuisance—it’s risk.

Recobie made it a priority that no patient’s care is compromised because an after-hours call sits waiting.

“Standardization and consistency matter. We can’t have different departments on different vendors or workflows.”

As a large healthcare organization, Baylor's needs demanded an answering service partner that was serious about the details.

They were searching for a partner that could:

Route to the correct on-call when first attempts fail

Escalate beyond on-call (medical director/manager) with no ambiguity

Checkmark

Mirror QGenda scheduling and honor detailed, department-specific workflows

Early on, there were questions about pending messages and “what happens next” if no on-call was listed.

But quickly into their partnership with Ambs Call Center, Baylor’s experience has been consistently strong.

The escalation path is understood, followed, and backed by leadership when needed.
