Data Capture

Turn specialty-specific health questionnaires into natural AI conversations that patients complete on the call

Instead of emailing PDFs or asking patients to fill out portals pre-visit, AI receptionists ask questionnaire questions in conversation, capture responses in real time, and return them structured and ready for your staff to review and file.

How it pays back

Higher Questionnaire Completion Rates

Patients complete health questionnaires on the phone during scheduling—no reliance on pre-visit email portals or paper forms that go unsigned or incomplete.

Better Clinical Context for Providers

Questionnaire responses include patient explanations, timelines, and severity. Providers get not just yes/no answers but the reasoning and history behind them, speeding up assessment.

No More Duplicate Questions at the Visit

Patients answer health questions once, on the phone. The visit can focus on new concerns, exam findings, and treatment planning instead of re-asking what's already documented.

Standardized Data Collection

Every patient gets the same questionnaire and every response is captured the same way. Your staff and providers see consistent, comparable data across all intake records.

Natural conversation capture

Questionnaire responses collected as part of the intake call, not as a separate form or portal task

Specialty-tailored questions

Customize health questionnaires by specialty, chief complaint, or condition type

Structured response format

Responses returned with patient context, timeline, and clinical detail ready for chart entry

Complete capture

No lost, incomplete, or unsigned forms; every call generates a complete questionnaire response set

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take the AI to ask all the questionnaire questions?

It varies by specialty and complexity. A typical 5–8 question intake takes 3–5 minutes as part of the overall call. Complex histories or specialty-specific questionnaires may take longer, but the patient controls the pace.

Can I customize the questionnaire for my practice?

Yes. MedReception allows you to set up specialty-specific questionnaires and can modify questions by visit type, chief complaint, or condition. Examples: post-op follow-up, new patient intake, urgent care triage, mental health screening.

What if a patient doesn't know the answer to a question?

The AI notes the unknown or skips it gracefully. Your staff sees flagged unanswered questions in the summary and can follow up pre-visit or the provider can ask at the visit. No friction in the conversation.

How do questionnaire responses get into my EMR?

Responses are returned as a structured summary that your staff reviews and pastes into the chart, typically in the intake note, social history, or chief complaint section. Most EMRs accept plain-text structured data; some practices create custom intake templates.

Can the AI handle conditional questions (if yes, then ask X)?

Yes. The AI can ask follow-up or branching questions based on patient responses. For example: if the patient reports a prior surgery, the AI asks what type, when, and complications.

What specialty questionnaires do you support out of the box?

MedReception provides templates for primary care, orthopedics, cardiology, psychiatry, rheumatology, and gastroenterology. Custom questionnaires for other specialties can be created during onboarding or on request.
