About this app

On Call Central puts your medical answering service in your pocket. Take call, return patient calls, and manage your practice's after-hours communication from a fast, secure app.

Completely rebuilt from the ground up for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, the new On Call Central opens faster, feels instantly responsive, and uses up to 77% less memory than the previous version, so it stays quick even on older devices.

CALL PATIENTS DIRECTLY, IN THE APP
• Tap to call patients back right from a message, using your practice's caller ID instead of your personal number
• Receive incoming calls in the app like a normal phone call
• Automatic fallback to callback dialing when your network is weak, so calls always connect
• Mute, speakerphone, and live connection quality indicators

YOUR MESSAGES, INSTANTLY
• Listen to voicemails and call recordings in the app, or read the automated transcription instead
• Critical alerts (with your permission) make sure patient calls sound through even when your phone is on silent or Do Not Disturb
• My Calls, All Calls, and Archived views with unheard badges
• Push notifications the moment a patient call comes in

SECURE CHAT, REIMAGINED
• HIPAA-focused messaging with your care team: reactions, read indicators, and photo, video, and audio attachments
• Message retention and expiration controls for compliance

MANAGE ON-CALL FROM ANYWHERE
• See the on-call schedule at a glance with month, week, and day views
• Quickly change who's on call and create schedule exceptions
• Set your availability status and manage contact methods: phone, SMS, email, even pagers
• View and manage your practice's phone menus and create exceptions

APPLE WATCH COMPANION
• See who's on call right on your watch face
• Review calls and read transcriptions from your wrist
• Update on-call assignments, change your status, and send quick chat replies

BUILT FOR IPAD
• True split-view layouts and a Command Center dashboard designed for the larger screen

SECURITY FIRST
• Face ID, Touch ID, and PIN app lock
• Encrypted credential storage and app-switcher privacy screening
• Built for practices that handle protected health information

FOR EVERYONE
• Available in English (US, Canada) and Spanish (Latin America, Spain)
• Full VoiceOver support, Dynamic Type, and WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility as standard
• Light and dark mode

On Call Central requires an active On Call Central account. Secure Chat and EHR integration (Modernizing Medicine) are available on participating accounts. Questions? Reach us at support@oncallcentral.com or support.oncallcentral.com.

Update- after upgrading to the new version everything seems to be fixed. Thank you. App is very buggy on my Samsung Edge 7. After receiving a call and listening to the message on speaker it renders my phone speaker useless unless I restart my phone. It also disables my bluetooth if I am listening to a blue tooth speaker unless I restart. Also when I listen to the message on speaker it often doesn't even play loud enough to hear the message. I have to put the speaker up to my ear to hear it. It's very frustrating- especially when i have to use the app multiple times a day. I constantly have to re-authenticate everytime i switch to another app even if my phone is still on. It is not a pleasant experience!

Thank you for the update, Nick. We're glad the update fixed the issue. Issue was with an audio plugin. Authentication issue resolved through the use of fingerprint detection on supported Android devices.

with the new version I am not able to enter exceptions. It doesn't allow me to save start date and time or end date and time. A window pops up with calendar to pick a date and a time button. But no option to save. I tried reinstalling. I have android Galaxy S21.

Excellent application. Very convenient for myself and my patients. The ability to call back from the app is a real time saver. The transcription of the message, although not perfect is a great feature as well as the ability to listen to the patient message.
