Workflow

Schedule interventional procedures without overbooking fluoroscopy rooms or violating procedure-time constraints

Interventional pain practices often overbook procedure slots because room availability and provider time are managed manually. AI-aware scheduling respects fluoroscopy room duration, recovery time, and provider hand-off windows.

How it pays back

Fluoroscopy rooms stay full without chaos

The AI sees your procedure schedule in real time and will only book patients into slots where the room is actually free. No more double-bookings or staff scrambling to reschedule.

Provider time respected across procedures

If your interventional radiologist or pain specialist blocks time for clinic, surgery, or admin, those blocks are locked. The AI won't offer procedure slots that overlap.

Recovery and observation time built in

The AI adds post-procedure buffer time automatically. A patient isn't discharged from the room while another procedure is being prepped in the same space.

Emergency add-ons don't break the day

When an urgent patient calls with acute pain, the AI checks for cancellation slots or compressed schedules and offers same-day emergency slots. Staff see the collision risk upfront.

Insurance pre-cert moves upfront

The AI flags procedures that commonly require prior auth during the booking call. Your staff can start approval paperwork before the patient even arrives.

Frequently asked questions

How do I tell the AI about my fluoroscopy room schedule?

During setup, you define each procedure type (e.g., lumbar ESI, SI joint, facet block) with its room duration and recovery time. You also map your rooms and providers. The AI then uses this to offer only slots where the room is free and the provider is available.

What if a patient needs to cancel and we have a waitlist?

The AI is configured to notify staff immediately when a cancellation opens a slot. Your team can manually reach out to waitlisted patients or set up auto-callbacks. The open slot is held for staff action, not automatically re-booked.

Can the AI handle multi-provider procedures (e.g., radiologist + pain specialist)?

Yes. If a procedure requires two providers, the AI can check both calendars before offering a slot. It will only book times when both are available and both have the necessary room and equipment free.

How does the AI manage fluoroscopy tech availability?

Fluoroscopy tech schedules can be synced to your calendar system or entered directly. The AI will honor tech availability so procedures aren't booked without tech coverage.

What happens if a patient calls to reschedule a procedure already on the books?

The AI offers available slots based on the same constraints (room, provider, fluoroscopy tech). Once the new time is confirmed, the appointment details update in your EMR. The old slot is freed for other bookings.
