Intake Workflow
AI intake sometimes flags uncertain information—a medication name the patient couldn't recall, unclear allergy details, or insurance coverage questions. Your staff get a summary flagged for follow-up and decide when and how to clarify.
No guessing. The summary clearly marks uncertainties and suggests follow-up questions. Staff can prioritize what matters most for the visit.
If the initial call captured what's needed, there's no follow-up. If clarification is needed, staff have context from the call and only ask the specific missing piece.
Most intake gaps are resolved before the visit. Check-in focuses on rooming and vital signs, not re-asking allergies or insurance.
By the time the patient walks into the exam room, unclear items have been researched and clarified. No mid-visit stops to verify allergy info.
Flagged uncertain data in summary
Medication names, allergy details, insurance coverage marked clearly for staff review
Pre-visit follow-up rules configurable
Practice defines which incomplete items require pre-visit phone call versus check-in resolution
Patient context included
Staff have call recording and summary to inform follow-up conversation
Audit trail maintained
What was asked, what was unclear, and how it was resolved is documented
The AI captures what it can—'patient takes a blood pressure pill, white round tablet' or 'allergy medicine for seasonal allergies, name unknown.' This is flagged in the summary as 'medication name needed.' Staff review and decide: call the patient before the visit to get the name, or ask at check-in. The AI's description helps pharmacies or staff identify the med if needed.
You set the rules. For example: 'Follow up on any allergies marked uncertain,' or 'Insurance changes must be verified before the visit,' or 'Medication names can wait until check-in.' Your staff workflow determines which flagged items get a pre-visit call.
Your administrative staff or care coordinator. The AI summary gives them context—what was said, what was unclear—so the follow-up call is quick and focused. You might say, 'Hi, during your intake call you mentioned a blood pressure medication but weren't sure of the name. Do you have your bottle handy?'
A voicemail is left (or, if configured, the AI can attempt a callback). If not reached, the flag remains in the summary for the clinician to address at the visit. The patient's chart notes that clarification was attempted.
No. The AI books the appointment even if some details are unclear. Incomplete fields are flagged in the summary and marked for follow-up. The visit is scheduled; the clarifications are handled asynchronously before or at check-in.
