Integration

How Australian practice EMRs sync with AI receptionist call data and appointment bookings

Direct EMR integration for Australian clinics: appointment bookings, new patient demographics, and intake summaries are captured and returned to your system. Supports Best Practice, Medical Director, and cloud-based platforms.

Appointment bookings auto-populate your calendar with caller availability and notes
New patient demographics (name, DOB, phone) written directly to EMR on first call
Intake summaries and chief complaint captured as structured data and returned as EMR-pasteable summary for staff chart entry
Insurance information and photo ID collected during call and handed to your team in the portal
Callback requests, urgent flags, and triage notes logged in your practice management system
Named EMR integrations: Best Practice, Medical Director, and works alongside cloud-based and US-hosted systems

How it pays back

No double-entry of patient data

Caller demographics are captured on first call. New patient name, date of birth, and phone are written once to your EMR. Your staff doesn't re-type. One source of truth reduces errors and speeds up chart completion.

Appointment slots fill automatically

AI books the caller into the next available slot and confirms in real time. Your calendar is live—no waiting for a staff email or callback to update the schedule. No overbooking or double-bookings.

Intake data is ready for clinical review

Chief complaint, medication list, allergy flags, and patient responses are returned as a structured, copy-paste-ready summary. Your clinician reviews and files it directly into the medical record without transcription.

Audit trail and compliance built in

Every integration action is logged with timestamp and source. Your practice meets audit requirements for call-to-chart workflows and can demonstrate compliance to regulators or accreditors.

Frequently asked questions

Which Australian EMRs does MedReception integrate with?

We integrate directly with Best Practice and Medical Director. We also work alongside cloud-hosted and US-based EMRs (Epic, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks) used by some Australian clinics. Check our integrations page or contact us for your specific system.

Does the AI write clinical notes to the chart automatically?

No. The AI captures intake data and returns it as a structured summary for your clinician or staff to review and file. Your team remains the author of the medical record and retains full control over what is documented.

What patient data is written directly to the EMR?

Appointment bookings and new patient demographics (name, date of birth, phone). Chief complaint, medical history, allergies, and symptoms are captured during the call and returned as a structured intake summary for your team to review and file—not auto-populated to the chart.

Can insurance details sync to the EMR?

No. Insurance information is captured during the call and delivered to your team via the MedReception portal or email. Your staff enters it into the billing system. This keeps sensitive insurance data separate from the clinical chart.

What if my EMR isn't on the integration list?

Contact our onboarding team. We often support systems via API or CSV feeds even if not listed. Custom integration is possible for larger practices.

How long does EMR setup take?

Typically 2–4 weeks. Our integration team works with your IT staff to authenticate, test, and go live. Most Australian practices are up and running within a month of contract signing.
