Post-Visit Workflow

Call patients after imaging, confirm findings discussion, and schedule follow-up or treatment appointments

After MRI or imaging is completed, call the patient to confirm they understand results, schedule follow-up with the provider or specialist, and book any imaging-guided procedures or physical therapy.

How it pays back

No Imaging Results Lost in Transition

Patient is contacted proactively after imaging; if they haven't heard from the provider, the AI flags it. Prevents imaging sitting unreviewed and patients falling through cracks.

Treatment Plan Clarity

AI confirms patient understands next steps and routes appropriately. Misunderstandings are surfaced before the next appointment.

Appointment Booking in One Call

Once imaging is reviewed, the AI books the next step—follow-up visit, specialist consultation, or PT intake—without requiring patient to call back.

Continuity of Care

Proactive follow-up after imaging ensures patients stay on track with their care plan and reduces delays in treatment initiation.

Post-imaging patient contact

Patient called and notified of imaging results availability and next-step plan

Follow-up appointments booked

Provider visit, specialist consultation, or therapy scheduled during the call

Follow-up documentation returned

Structured summary of imaging follow-up and appointment details prepared for staff review and EMR filing

Frequently asked questions

When should the follow-up call happen after imaging?

Ideally within 24–48 hours of imaging results being available. The AI can be configured to call automatically once results are marked 'final' in the imaging system, or staff can trigger the call batch manually.

What if the patient hasn't discussed results with the provider yet?

The AI flags this for staff or the provider's nurse. A callback is scheduled to discuss findings and next steps before the patient schedules the next appointment.

How does the AI know what appointment to book?

Staff or the provider specify the intended next step in the imaging workflow (e.g., 'If imaging shows X, book specialist consultation; if Y, schedule PT intake'). The AI executes that protocol.

Are appointment details sent to the patient?

Yes. Once booked, appointment confirmation, location, time, and any prep requirements are texted to the patient. A structured summary is returned for staff to review and file in the EMR.
