Workflow

AI captures new pain patient intake in one conversational call—pain history, medications, allergies, insurance—and returns a structured summary for staff review and filing

New pain patients call with complex histories: prior procedures, comorbidities, medication interactions. AI conducts thorough intake conversationally, captures all relevant data, and returns a structured summary for staff review and filing.

How it pays back

Eliminate new patient forms and manual data entry

Forms pile up, get filled out incompletely, and staff re-enter data into the EMR. AI conducts intake conversationally, captures all fields, and returns a structured summary. Staff review once and file—no double entry.

Improve new patient chart quality before the first visit

Providers arrive to a new visit with incomplete or disorganized history. AI captures pain timeline, prior procedures, and medication interactions upfront. Staff organize it in the chart, so providers have context before the patient sits down.

Reduce appointment time spent on history-taking

First visits are often extended for paperwork and history questions. AI does this upfront; providers spend chair time on examination and treatment planning instead of chart questions.

Catch medication interactions and contraindications early

AI captures all current medications and allergies during intake. Staff review before the visit and flag any pain procedures or injections that conflict with the patient's current regimen.

Frequently asked questions

Does new patient intake data sync directly to the EMR chart?

Appointment details (name, DOB, phone) and demographics sync directly to your EMR. Clinical history, medications, allergies, and other clinical content are returned as a structured, organized summary for your staff to review and file in the chart. This gives staff a chance to verify accuracy and flag anything unusual before it enters the record.

How does AI handle complex pain histories (e.g., multiple prior procedures)?

AI asks targeted questions about each prior procedure, timing, outcome, and current pain level. The summary organizes this chronologically so providers can see the full trajectory before the visit.

What if the patient doesn't know all their current medications?

AI asks what they remember and notes gaps (e.g., 'Patient uncertain of dosages; pharmacy list needed'). Staff can request a medication list from the patient's pharmacy or MD before the first visit.

Can AI ask about referral source and prior authorizations during intake?

Yes. AI asks who referred the patient and whether insurance has pre-authorized the visit. This information is captured in the intake summary so staff can follow up on auth or contact the referring provider.

How long does new patient intake typically take?

Intake conversations typically take 8–12 minutes, depending on complexity. This is faster than paper forms and ensures all relevant clinical information is captured conversationally.
