Advanced Intake

Move beyond static forms—AI intake questionnaires adapt based on patient responses, asking relevant follow-ups and skipping irrelevant questions.

AI-driven intake uses conditional logic to tailor questions dynamically. If a patient reports diabetes, follow-up questions about management appear. Irrelevant questions are skipped entirely, keeping intake brief and clinically focused.

How it pays back

Shorter, more relevant intake conversations

Patients only answer questions applicable to their situation. A patient with no surgical history doesn't spend time on surgical intake. Faster calls, better patient experience.

Clinical data is complete and organized

The AI follows your practice's decision logic, ensuring no critical information is missed. Clinicians see the pathway the patient took and understand the clinical context.

Easier to customize and maintain over time

Your practice defines the branching logic once (e.g., "if diabetic, ask about insulin and HbA1c"). Changes to questions or branches are simple, non-technical updates.

Reduces follow-up delays and incomplete charts

Because the AI asks relevant follow-ups in the call itself, clinical staff don't have to reach back to the patient for missing information. Intake summaries are structured and EMR-pasteable for your team to review and file.

Conditional branching supported

Follow-up questions asked based on prior responses

Irrelevant questions skipped automatically

Shorter, focused intake conversations

Complex multi-branch logic

Supports nested conditions and multiple decision paths

Non-technical rule definition

Your team defines branching without coding or developer support

Frequently asked questions

How do I set up branching logic for my intake questionnaire?

Work with the MedReception team to map out your decision tree. For example: "If patient reports diabetes, ask about type, current meds, and HbA1c control. If no diabetes, skip those questions." The AI is trained on that logic and applies it during calls. No coding required.

Can the AI handle complex branching with multiple nested conditions?

Yes. The AI can follow complex logic trees. Example: "If patient over 50 AND reports chest pain, ask about cardiac risk factors and prior testing. If under 50 OR no chest pain, skip cardiac intake." Nested conditions are supported.

What if a patient's answer doesn't fit the expected branching paths?

The AI is trained to handle unexpected answers gracefully. It asks clarifying questions, gathers relevant information, and notes any ambiguities in the structured summary for your staff to follow up on. No dead ends or missed data.

Can I change branching logic after the AI is live?

Yes. You can update branching rules, add new branches, or modify existing logic. Changes take effect on the next call. Older intake summaries remain unchanged; new calls use the updated logic.

How is complex branching logic different from a paper form with skip instructions?

The AI actively follows the logic in real time—it doesn't ask skipped questions, adapts the conversation naturally, and ensures no information is missed. A paper form relies on patients reading and following skip patterns, which often fails. AI branching is reliable, conversational, and complete.
