Clinical Workflow
AI receptionists can conduct specialty-specific intake questionnaires (depression screening, pain assessment, symptom review) and triage urgency during the inbound call, returning scored and structured summaries for provider review.
Instead of handing a patient a PHQ-9 or pain scale in the waiting room, the AI administers the questionnaire during the booking call. Responses are scored and returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and file before the appointment—providers have context before the first handshake.
If a patient calls with chest pain, suicidal ideation, or severe injury, the AI triage triggers an immediate escalation to your clinical staff or instructions to call 911. Routine calls don't get held up; urgent calls get priority.
Intake questionnaire responses are available for provider review. The provider reviews scores and context, then uses appointment time for diagnosis and treatment planning—not repeating screening questions.
A psychiatry practice might ask about suicidal ideation, medication history, and prior hospitalizations. A pain management practice might ask about pain onset, radiation, and activity triggers. Each specialty gets configured intake.

Questionnaire responses and triage level available for staff to file
Multi-language questionnaire support
Accessible assessment across patient populations
Yes. The AI can ask the standard questions for these and other validated screens, score responses on the call, and return the score to your staff. This is configured per practice and specialty. Responses are captured as structured data for clinical review.
The AI's triage flags the high score and your configured escalation rules apply. This might be immediate clinical callback, urgent appointment offer, or a note to the provider before the appointment. Your practice defines the response protocol.
No. Triage is brief—the AI asks key urgency questions quickly (pain level, bleeding, fever, chest pain, difficulty breathing, etc.). Routine calls move to scheduling immediately. Only flagged urgent cases trigger escalation.
Yes. When an established patient calls, the AI can re-administer screening questionnaires to capture current status and screen for changes. This is especially useful for behavioral health, pain management, and chronic disease practices.
Questionnaire scores and responses are returned as structured data in your intake summary for your staff to review and file. All data is transmitted and stored under HIPAA standards.
