Specialty Workflows

Configure AI intake questions for dermatology, orthopedics, psychiatry, primary care, and other specialties

AI receptionists can be configured with specialty-specific intake protocols so questions are relevant to your practice. Learn how dermatology, orthopedics, psychiatry, and primary care practices customize intake for their workflows.

How it pays back

Questions only relevant to your patients

A dermatologist doesn't need to ask about surgical history; an orthopedist doesn't need allergy severity for skin conditions. Specialty-specific intake ensures the AI asks only what matters to your practice, keeping calls focused and efficient.

Faster appointments, better clinical prep

Providers open the chart and find exactly the information they need for the patient's chief complaint. A psychiatrist sees trauma history and medication trials; an orthopedist sees injury timeline and imaging results. The AI captures this information as a structured, EMR-pasteable summary for staff to review and file, so less time wasted on irrelevant history, more time on care.

Compliance with specialty protocols

Your intake can be configured to include regulatory or safety-critical questions—suicide risk screening for behavioral health, allergy screening for immunology, pre-authorization requirements for your contracts—built into every call.

Flexibility to evolve with your practice

As your protocols change, intake can be updated. If you add a new screening question or eliminate an outdated one, the AI can be reconfigured without downtime or re-implementation.

Frequently asked questions

Can I have different intake scripts for different providers or locations?

Yes. If you have multiple providers with different specialties or multiple locations with different workflows, each can have a customized intake script. The AI routes calls based on the requested provider or location and uses the appropriate intake protocol.

How do I know what intake questions are appropriate for my specialty?

Your onboarding team works with you to build the intake script. They'll ask about your most common chief complaints, your clinical assessment priorities, any regulatory requirements, and your workflow preferences. The template is built collaboratively based on your specialty and your practice.

What if I have both mental health and medical patients in one practice?

You can configure the AI to route to different intake scripts based on the chief complaint or requested department. Callers reporting mental health concerns follow the psychiatry protocol; routine medical calls follow the primary care protocol. Routing can be as simple or as complex as your practice needs.

Can I update the intake questions during the year?

Yes. Your onboarding team can update the intake script at any time. If you add a new screening question, drop an outdated one, or adjust the priority of questions, those changes can be deployed quickly without downtime or service interruption.

Does specialty-specific intake add complexity or cost?

No. Customization is built into the onboarding process. Whether your practice needs one general intake script or multiple specialty-specific scripts, the configuration is included in setup. There's no additional per-specialty pricing.

Which specialties are currently supported?

The AI can be configured for any specialty, including dermatology, orthopedics, psychiatry, primary care, urgent care, pediatrics, OB/GYN, ENT, urology, and others. If your specialty isn't listed, your onboarding team will work with you to build the appropriate protocol.
