Intake

Capture pain history, medications, and prior treatments on the first call—no staff callback required

Interventional pain practices need detailed patient history before the first visit: pain onset, prior interventions, current medications, and bleeding status. When this intake happens on the phone, your clinical team can prep for the consultation. An AI receptionist captures this on every new patient call and writes demographics directly to your EMR.

How it pays back

Your Clinical Team Reads the Chart Before the Patient Arrives

New patient intake (pain history, medications, prior treatments, allergies, bleeding status) is captured on the booking call and returned as a structured summary. Your clinical staff review and file it before the consultation, eliminating the need to gather this history during the visit.

No Staff Callback Needed for Intake Follow-Up

All essential new patient questions are answered during the initial call. Your staff do not need to call back to collect history; the appointment slot is fully prepped when the patient arrives.

Contraindications Flagged Early

If a patient reports anticoagulant use, bleeding disorder, or recent surgery, these are noted during booking. Your clinical team knows before the visit and can adjust the intervention plan or schedule pre-procedure testing if needed.

New Patient Demographics Sync to Your EMR Instantly

Contact details, date of birth, and demographics are written directly to your practice management system. Your billing and clinical staff have an active patient record ready before the appointment.

Frequently asked questions

What pain history information does the AI capture?

The AI asks when pain started, where it is located, what treatments have been tried (medications, injections, physical therapy), how effective those treatments were, and how pain is affecting daily life. This information is returned to your clinical team as a structured summary.

Does the AI ask about all current medications?

Yes. The AI asks about pain medications, anticoagulants (warfarin, apixaban, rivaroxaban), antiplatelet agents (aspirin, clopidogrel), and any recent medication changes. This is captured and returned to your clinical team to identify potential intervention risks.

How does the AI screen for contraindications?

The AI asks about bleeding disorders, recent surgery, active infections, and allergies. Patients reporting significant contraindications are flagged in the appointment notes so your clinical team can contact them to discuss whether the planned procedure is appropriate or needs modification.

Is the pain history information written directly to the patient's EMR chart?

No. Pain history, medications, allergies, and clinical details are returned as a structured, EMR-pasteable summary. Your clinical staff review it, add context, and file it into the patient's chart. This allows your team to ensure accuracy and add any clinical notes before documentation is finalized.

Will new patient demographics automatically populate the EMR?

Yes. Contact information, date of birth, name, and phone number are written directly to your EMR (athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Epic, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, AdvancedMD, or ModMed). Your billing and clinical teams have an active patient record immediately.
