Safety

AI receptionist captures lidocaine sensitivity, contrast allergies, and current injectables before procedure day—not in the pre-op room

Interventional pain procedures require detailed allergy and medication history. MedReception systematically asks about lidocaine, contrast, NSAIDs, current injectables, and prior adverse reactions during initial intake—so your clinical team has verified safety information before the patient arrives.

How it pays back

Lidocaine and contrast sensitivities caught early

The AI asks specific allergy questions during intake, not during pre-op paperwork review. Your clinical team has time to plan alternative anesthetics or contrast agents before the patient arrives.

Medication interactions flagged

Current anticoagulants, NSAIDs, and biologics are captured and returned to your staff for clinical review. Your provider can adjust bleeding risk assessment or timing of the procedure if needed.

Prior adverse reaction context preserved

If a patient had syncope or severe pain during a prior injection, the AI captures that detail and how it was managed. Your team isn't surprised on procedure day and can plan premedication or technique adjustments.

No surprise allergies in the procedure room

Your clinical staff reviews the AI's structured allergy and medication summary before the patient enters the procedure suite. Unknown sensitivities or interactions don't emerge at needle-down time.

Allergy history structured

Lidocaine, contrast, medication, and prior adverse reaction details are captured and organized for clinical verification

Current medications captured

Anticoagulants, NSAIDs, biologics, and supplements are logged for drug interaction and bleeding risk review

Prior reaction details preserved

Syncope, severe pain, or allergic responses to prior injections are documented with outcome and management

Named EMR integrations

Allergy and medication summaries are returned as structured, EMR-pasteable summaries for clinical staff review and chart filing

Frequently asked questions

Why ask about lidocaine and contrast during the intake call instead of the pre-op visit?

Early capture gives your clinical team time to adjust anesthetic choice, order alternative contrast, or schedule testing if needed. Waiting until pre-op leaves little time if a true allergy is discovered.

What if a patient says they have a 'drug allergy' but isn't sure what it means?

The AI asks follow-up questions: What was the reaction? How long ago? Did you need treatment? This detail helps your clinical staff determine if it's a true allergy or a side effect, and adjust the procedure plan accordingly.

How are anticoagulant and NSAID interactions handled?

The AI captures the current medication list (aspirin, warfarin, apixaban, ibuprofen, etc.). Your clinical staff reviews this for bleeding risk and works with the patient on pre-procedure medication hold timing.

Can the AI ask about herbal supplements and over-the-counter drugs?

Yes. Supplements like ginkgo, ginger, and St. John's Wort can affect bleeding and drug interactions. The AI can ask about routine supplements, and your staff reviews the full list for procedure safety.

Does the allergy and medication summary go into the patient chart automatically?

The AI returns a structured summary for your staff to review and verify. Your clinical team confirms accuracy and files it in the chart, so the record reflects verified information.
