Workflow
Putting an established patient through the full new-patient intake wastes their time and yours. Asking nothing risks missing a change. This is how practices set the re-verification scope for recall calls, what triggers a deeper intake mid-call, and how a change reaches your staff.
Recall patients who are asked to recite information already in their chart experience the call as bureaucracy. Keeping the recall short is not only efficiency; it is the difference between a patient who answers the next call and one who does not.
A medication started since the last visit, or a new allergy, is exactly the kind of thing a shortened call can miss. The re-verification list exists so the brevity is deliberate rather than accidental.
You define which fields get verified on a recall. Some practices add insurance changes or recent emergency visits; others keep it to medications and allergies. The workflow follows your protocols rather than a default.
The summary distinguishes what was confirmed from what is new or different, so your staff read a short list of deltas instead of comparing a fresh intake against the old chart line by line.
New patient intake complete on call
Full medical history, allergies, medications, insurance captured
Established patient updates brief and focused
Current status verification without redundant questions
AI identifies patient status automatically
Routes to correct intake template
Escalation flagged for staff review
Changes in health or insurance escalate to your team
MedReception integrates with your EMR, so the AI checks your patient database before the call begins. New patients trigger the full intake; established patients trigger the brief update. A caller who is not in your system but refers to a recent visit can be flagged for escalation.
Most verify current medications, allergies and the reason for the visit. Some also ask about insurance changes or recent emergency visits. You define the set, and it can differ by specialty or visit type.
The AI asks whether anything is new or different since the last visit. If the patient reports new allergies, medications or diagnoses, it captures those in detail and flags them for your staff to review and file.
The recall summary highlights what is new or different rather than restating the chart. Your team no longer digs through old records to work out which detail is current.
The AI asks clarifying questions and captures the chief complaint. If the situation appears urgent or needs detailed history, it flags the call for escalation to your staff, who decide on routing and on how much intake the call warrants.
