Clinical Workflow

Structured intake summaries from AI calls are sent to your team for clinical review before EMR entry

The AI receptionist captures medical history, medications, allergies, and clinical questionnaire responses during the call. These are returned as a structured, EMR-ready summary that your clinical staff reviews and files into the patient record.

How it pays back

Clinical oversight remains with your staff

Your medical team reviews all AI-captured clinical data before it enters the chart. This ensures accuracy, catches errors or inconsistencies, and maintains your practice's clinical standards.

Faster chart prep without automation errors

Instead of staff manually typing patient histories from notes or forms, they receive a clean, structured summary ready to verify and file. This is faster and more accurate than manual transcription.

Real-time flagging of urgent issues

If the AI detects critical information during the call (severe allergy, acute symptoms, safety concerns), it flags this immediately so your staff can prioritize review or reach out to the patient before the appointment.

Audit trail and compliance

Every intake summary is documented and timestamped. Your team can see exactly what was captured on the call and when, creating a clear record for compliance and quality review.

Structured summaries within minutes

Clinical teams receive ready-to-review intake data shortly after the call ends

Staff review before chart entry

No automated direct-to-chart entry; your clinical team validates all data

Urgent flags in real time

Allergies, red flags, and safety concerns are immediately highlighted for staff

EMR-compatible format

Summaries paste directly into your chart; no manual reformatting needed

Frequently asked questions

What information is included in an intake summary?

The summary includes medical history, current medications, allergies, chief complaint, and answers to your custom intake questions. It's formatted with clear labels and sections so your staff can quickly scan and verify all captured information.

How are intake summaries delivered to my team?

Summaries are available in your MedReception dashboard and can be sent via email to your staff. You can route them to specific team members (e.g., clinical intake coordinator, physician, or clinical supervisor) based on your workflow.

Can my staff edit or add notes to the summary before filing it?

Yes. Your staff can review the summary, make edits or corrections, add their own clinical notes, and then paste it into the EMR chart. The summary is a starting point, not a locked document.

What happens if the AI captures incomplete or incorrect information?

Your clinical staff reviews the summary before filing. If information is missing or inaccurate, your team can reach out to the patient via phone or portal to clarify before the appointment. The staff then updates the summary with correct information.

How are sensitive issues (mental health, substance abuse, abuse disclosure) handled?

The AI is trained to handle sensitive topics respectfully and ask follow-up questions as appropriate. Your clinical staff always reviews the summary and can reach out to the patient in a private, supportive manner before the visit if needed.

Does the summary include the AI's notes on how the patient responded (tone, hesitation, etc.)?

Yes. When appropriate, the AI can include context about the call (e.g., 'patient hesitant about mental health questions,' 'reported allergy with visible concern'). This helps your clinical staff understand the patient's presentation and any areas that may need deeper discussion during the visit.
