Patient Intake

Keep patient charts current by capturing intake updates during every inbound call

AI receptionists identify existing patients, confirm current information, and capture changes to medications, allergies, and contact details. Updates are delivered to your staff as a structured summary for review and filing.

How it pays back

Chart accuracy stays current

Every time an existing patient calls, their record is reviewed and updated. Medications are refreshed, allergies are confirmed, and recent changes are documented. Your staff receives a structured summary to validate and file, so providers always work with current information.

Catch critical changes before the visit

If a patient mentions a new medication, recent hospitalization, or new allergy during intake, it's flagged for staff review before the appointment. Critical safety information reaches providers in time.

Reduce chart cleanup work

Continuous intake updates mean your staff spends less time manually auditing and correcting outdated patient records. The AI captures changes and returns them in a ready-to-file format.

Improve medication reconciliation

Each call confirms the patient's current medications. Your providers have an accurate med list for every appointment, reducing drug interaction risks and prescription errors.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know the patient is already in the system?

The AI retrieves the existing patient record using phone number, name, or date of birth. It then confirms the patient's identity and retrieves current medications, allergies, and contact information from the chart.

What if the patient's information has changed?

The AI asks the patient to confirm or update their medications, allergies, address, and emergency contact. Any changes are captured and returned in an intake summary flagged for your staff to review and file into the chart.

Do medication updates go directly into the EMR?

Medication information is returned as a structured, EMR-pasteable summary for your staff to review. Your staff validates any changes and updates the patient record accordingly. Demographic updates and appointment bookings write directly to the EMR.

How are critical alerts like new allergies handled?

If a new allergy is mentioned, it is immediately flagged in bold in the intake summary and can also trigger an alert to your staff. Critical changes are escalated so they are addressed before the patient's appointment.

What if a patient mentions they were hospitalized or had surgery recently?

Recent hospitalizations, surgeries, and emergency visits are captured in the intake summary and flagged for provider review. Your staff files this context into the chart so providers understand the patient's current health status.
