Intake

Capture current medications and allergies during the first call — no missed drug interactions, no intake form delays

Interventional pain patients are on opioids, NSAIDs, anticoagulants, and muscle relaxants. Before any procedure, your team needs a complete medication list and allergy history. An AI receptionist captures this during scheduling so your clinical staff enters the procedure suite fully informed.

How it pays back

No missed drug interactions before procedure

Your clinical team sees the full medication list and allergy history before the patient arrives. Potential interactions with contrast, local anesthetic, or post-op pain meds are caught in time to adjust the plan.

Intake form delays are eliminated

Patients often skip or incomplete written forms. The AI captures medications and allergies verbally during scheduling, so your staff has the data before the patient arrives.

Anticoagulation status is confirmed before intervention

Patients on warfarin, apixaban, rivaroxaban, or other anticoagulants are flagged during intake. Your provider knows bleeding risk before inserting needles.

Allergy-related reaction details are documented

The AI captures not just 'penicillin allergy' but 'rash within 24 hours' or 'anaphylaxis.' This level of detail helps your team choose safe alternatives.

Medication refill requests are tracked

Patients often mention refill needs during scheduling. The AI logs these separately so your clinical team can batch-approve or discuss at the next visit instead of handling interruptions.

Medication list captured during scheduling

Current pain meds, anticoagulants, muscle relaxants, and OTC drugs recorded with doses and frequency

Allergy history documented with reaction type

Drug and food allergies captured with specific reaction (rash, GI, anaphylaxis) for clinical review

Structured summary for EMR entry

Intake data formatted for review and filing into your EHR or pre-operative checklist

Medication refill requests batched

Refill and side-effect questions logged separately for clinical staff to review and batch-process

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI capture medications accurately when patients don't remember doses?

The AI asks open-ended questions ('What pain medications are you taking?') and then confirms with follow-ups ('Do you know the dose or how often you take it?'). If a patient is unsure, the AI notes that and your staff can call back or look it up in their prior records.

What if a patient is on a long list of medications? Does the AI get overwhelmed?

No. The AI systematically goes through categories: pain meds, blood pressure meds, anticoagulants, muscle relaxants, supplements. It takes longer on a complex patient, but the structured output is complete and organized by drug class.

Does the AI capture patient-reported allergies or does it verify against the EMR?

The AI captures what the patient reports during the call. If your EMR already has an allergy list, your staff compares the two before the procedure. Any discrepancies are flagged.

How is the medication list provided to your clinical staff?

The AI returns a structured summary (medication name, dose, frequency, allergy type, reaction) that your staff can review and file in the EMR or print as part of the pre-operative checklist.

What about over-the-counter pain relievers and supplements? Does the AI ask about those?

Yes. The AI specifically asks about ibuprofen, acetaminophen, aspirin, and common supplements (glucosamine, fish oil, turmeric). These can interact with procedure medications or post-op pain management.

Can the AI handle multilingual patients?

Yes. The AI can be configured to conduct intake in multiple languages, so non-English speakers receive the same thorough medication and allergy capture as English speakers.
