Specialty Configuration

AI intake workflows tailored to your specialty's unique questions, chief complaints, and intake priorities

Intake should ask orthopedics about joint pain and injury timeline, not psychiatry's medication history. MedReception configures intake by specialty so the AI asks the right questions.

How it pays back

Right Questions, First Call

Your specialty's critical intake data is captured automatically. No patient asked about joint range of motion in a psych intake; no psychiatry patient skipped medication review.

Faster Clinician Readiness

Providers receive a structured intake summary that matches their clinical workflow. A surgeon reviews injury timeline and imaging status; a therapist reviews psychiatric history and risk factors.

Reduced Call-Back for Details

Because the AI asks specialty-specific follow-up questions in context, crucial information is captured on the first call. Your staff doesn't need to call patients back for missing surgical history or medication details.

Consistent Data Across Your Group

If you run multiple specialty locations (e.g., orthopedics and physical therapy), each gets its own intake configuration. Data quality is consistent within each specialty.

Specialty-configured from day one

Intake questions match your clinical needs

Escalation logic built in

Red flags (e.g., suicidality, acute pain, chest pain) trigger immediate staff alerts

Customizable question hierarchy

Must-ask fields are always included; optional fields vary by urgency

Clinic-wide intake consistency

Multi-provider practices get the same data structure for every patient

Frequently asked questions

Can I change my specialty-specific intake questions after setup?

Yes. Your practice can adjust questions anytime via the MedReception admin portal. Changes take effect immediately for new incoming calls.

What if my practice handles multiple specialties in one clinic?

You can configure separate intake profiles per specialty or clinic location. When a call comes in, the AI routes to the appropriate specialty intake based on the patient's department or the scheduler's selection.

How does the AI handle specialty-specific red flags?

Red flags (e.g., suicidality in psychiatry, active chest pain in cardiology, acute spinal trauma in orthopedics) trigger immediate alerts to your staff. The call can be escalated to a clinician in real time.

Can I share intake questions across different clinics?

Yes. You can create a template intake for your specialty (e.g., 'orthopedic trauma intake') and deploy it to multiple locations. Each clinic can customize locally if needed.

Do patients perceive specialty-specific intake as more thorough or invasive?

No. Because the AI asks questions conversationally and in context, specialty-specific intake feels natural. Patients appreciate being asked relevant questions rather than generic ones that don't match their reason for visiting.
