Documentation

The AI captures chief complaint, symptoms, medical history, and medications on every call — then returns a structured summary your staff reviews and files into Kareo, no manual transcription

Stop re-typing patient call details. MedReception's AI captures structured intake on the phone; your staff reviews the summary once and files it to Kareo — reduces documentation time and keeps the chart current.

How it pays back

Chart documentation starts before the patient arrives

When the patient checks in, the chief complaint and relevant history are already logged. Clinical staff use the call summary as a starting point and add their exam findings — reduces intake time at the front desk and in the room.

No more 'What did they say on the phone?' back-and-forth

The structured intake summary is timestamped and accessible to your team. Your team knows exactly what the patient reported and when. No guessing, no missing context between staff.

Your documentation is complete faster

Instead of typing or dictating call notes from scratch, staff review a formatted summary and file it. Saves time per call, and the chart is accurate because the AI captured it in real time.

Medication and allergy data is accurate on the first pass

The AI confirms spelling and dosages during the call. When the summary is ready for filing, your staff verify once rather than chase down details or make a follow-up call.

Frequently asked questions

What if the patient's answers don't match what's in their Kareo chart?

The call summary flags any discrepancies (e.g., 'Patient reports current Lisinopril; Kareo shows Atenolol'). Your staff review and update the chart accordingly. This catch often surfaces medication changes or patient non-compliance that needs clinical attention.

Can the AI ask custom intake questions for my specialty?

Yes. Your team configures the intake flow in MedReception's dashboard. For orthopedics, you might add 'Which body part?' and 'When did the pain start?' For psychiatry, you might ask about mood, sleep, and suicidal ideation. Answers are captured in the summary.

Does the AI make a clinical diagnosis or recommendation?

No. The AI documents what the patient reports — symptoms, duration, impact. Your clinical staff review the summary and make any clinical decisions, diagnoses, or triage recommendations. The AI's role is data capture, not clinical judgment.

How long does it take your staff to review and file the call summary?

Most summaries can be verified and filed quickly. If the summary is clear and matches your chart, it's a quick review and paste into the visit note. If there are discrepancies, your staff address them before filing.

Are call summaries available right away?

Yes. The summary is logged and timestamped in MedReception's portal and linked to the call recording. Your staff can access it from MedReception's dashboard immediately after the call ends.

What if a patient refuses to answer intake questions?

The AI notes the refusal in the summary (e.g., 'Patient declined to answer allergy questions'). Your staff can follow up manually if needed, and the chart shows the interaction attempt for compliance.
