AI Support for Mohs Surgery Coordination and Post-Procedure Follow-Up Calls

Streamline Mohs surgery scheduling, pre-operative intake, and post-operative follow-up calls with AI that handles coordination, captures concerns, and books appointments and follow-up visits to your EMR.

How it pays back

Pre-Operative Intake Captured Before Surgery

Patients undergoing Mohs surgery receive a phone intake call that captures surgical history, medications, allergies, and ability to care for post-operative wounds. Your surgical team receives a structured summary for review before the patient arrives.

Post-Operative Follow-Up Calls Automated

Days or weeks after Mohs surgery, the AI calls patients to check wound healing, ask about complications (infection, bleeding, excessive pain), and schedule suture removal. Your clinical team reviews summaries of any flagged concerns.

Urgent Complications Escalated Immediately

If a post-op patient reports signs of infection, excessive bleeding, or severe pain, the AI immediately escalates the call to your surgeon or provides emergency contact information. Complications are not delayed by voicemail.

Suture Removal Appointments Auto-Scheduled

When the AI determines a patient is ready for suture removal based on healing timeline, it books the appointment directly into your schedule and writes it to the patient's EMR.

Surgical Coordination Burden Removed from Staff

Your clinical coordinator is freed from making dozens of pre-operative and post-operative calls. The AI handles routing, scheduling, and intake, while your team reviews only flagged concerns and complex cases.

Pre-operative intake automated

Medical history, allergies, and wound care ability captured before surgery

Post-operative follow-up calls made

Wound checks and complication screening conducted via AI, summaries for clinical review

Urgent complications escalated

Infection signs, bleeding, or severe pain routed immediately to surgeon

Suture removal auto-scheduled

Appointments booked and written to EMR based on healing timeline

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know what questions to ask for pre-operative Mohs intake?

The AI is trained on standard pre-operative surgical intake for Mohs: prior skin cancers, medications (especially blood thinners and NSAIDs), allergies, smoking history, ability to keep wound dry, time off work needed, and expectations. This ensures every patient has the same comprehensive pre-op screening.

Can the AI screen for post-operative complications?

Yes. The AI asks about wound appearance, drainage, pain level, and signs of infection (redness, warmth, pus, fever). If concerning signs are reported, the AI flags the call for immediate clinical review or escalates to your surgeon based on severity.

How does post-operative follow-up scheduling work?

You provide the AI with standard follow-up timing (e.g., 'call patients 3 days post-op, then again at 1 week, then at 2 weeks for suture removal assessment'). The AI proactively calls on those dates, conducts the assessment, and if ready, books the suture removal appointment directly.

What if a post-op patient reports a serious concern?

The AI recognizes urgent signs (heavy bleeding, signs of infection, severe pain) and immediately transfers the call to your surgeon's line or emergency number. Your surgeon receives the patient with full context—what they reported and when the procedure was.

Does the AI coordinate with multiple Mohs surgeons or surgical centers?

Yes. If your practice has multiple surgeons or locations, you can designate which surgeon performed each procedure. The AI routes pre-op calls and post-op escalations to the correct surgeon's schedule and protocol.

What data from Mohs coordination gets written to the EMR?

Mohs surgery appointments, suture removal visits, and patient demographics (name, DOB, phone) are written directly to the EMR. Pre-operative and post-operative assessment summaries (intake findings, wound check results, complication screening) are captured and returned to your surgical team as structured summaries for review and filing.
