Data Workflow

Capture every new patient and appointment from AI calls—appointment bookings and patient creation sync to your dental practice management system, clinical details returned as structured summaries for staff review

Stop re-entering patient names, dates of birth, and appointment times. The AI receptionist captures caller information on the call and writes appointment bookings and patient demographics (name, DOB, phone) directly to your EHR. Clinical details like reason for visit, medical history, and allergies are returned as structured, EMR-pasteable summaries for your staff to review and file.

How it pays back

Your front desk avoids hours of daily data entry and verification work

Instead of typing patient details into your EHR after a call or at check-in, the AI handles demographic capture during the conversation. Your team spends time on patient care coordination and scheduling optimization, not data administration.

Appointment slots fill faster because bookings are live immediately

A patient calling to schedule doesn't hear 'I'll call you back to confirm.' The AI books the slot, syncs it to your calendar in seconds, and the patient has a confirmation. Your schedule is never out of sync with reality.

New patient onboarding starts before they arrive

By the time a new patient walks through the door, their chart exists in your EHR with basic demographics and a structured intake summary ready for your clinical staff. Your team reviews the summary and begins care immediately—not paperwork.

No more 'Did we already have their contact info?' confusion

The AI confirms patient identity and basic demographics during every call. Your EHR reflects the latest information, and staff spend less time hunting down missing or outdated contact details.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know which patient is calling?

The AI uses your EHR's patient directory to look up callers by phone number or name. If the caller is a returning patient, the AI retrieves their record. If they're new, the system creates a fresh entry. The AI verifies identity by asking for date of birth or other identifying information.

What if a patient's EHR data is incomplete or outdated?

The AI confirms and updates patient information (name, DOB, phone) during every call. If a number has changed or an address is wrong, the AI captures the update during intake, and your EHR syncs the demographic change. This keeps your records fresh without manual audits.

Can the AI handle patients who don't have an existing EHR record?

Yes. For brand-new patients, the AI collects their full intake information, and the system creates a new patient record in your EHR with demographics and a structured clinical summary. By the time your staff sees the booking, the chart is already started and ready for clinical review and notes.

What happens if there's a conflict between the EHR and the call?

The AI flags any conflicts (e.g., a patient says they have a penicillin allergy but the EHR doesn't list it). Your staff reviews the structured summary before the patient's appointment and updates the record as needed. Clinical data is never overwritten without human review.

Does this work with my current dental practice management software?

Appointment bookings and patient demographics (name, DOB, phone) sync to supported dental practice management systems. Our team will confirm your platform's compatibility and test the integration before you go live to ensure data flows correctly.
