Clinical Workflow

AI captures call details and returns a structured intake summary for your Kareo team to review and file

The AI gathers patient information during intake calls and returns a formatted summary that your staff reviews and files into the patient's Kareo chart—maintaining your team's control over clinical documentation.

How it pays back

Staff gets organized, ready-to-file information

Instead of listening to a call recording or reading raw notes, your clinical team opens a structured summary: 'Chief complaint: Migraine for 2 days. Current meds: ibuprofen, sertraline. Allergies: penicillin.' Ready to review, verify, and file.

Phone intake doesn't delay chart completion

The intake summary is delivered to your team immediately. Your staff doesn't have to manually transcribe or search for call details—everything is pre-organized and flagged for review.

Your team controls what goes into the chart

The AI summary is not auto-populated into clinical fields. Your staff reads it, confirms accuracy, and decides how to document it in Kareo. This protects your chart from AI errors and maintains your compliance standards.

Faster appointment prep

By the time the patient arrives, your clinical team has already reviewed the intake. The provider opens the chart and sees context—no repeat intake during the visit.

Frequently asked questions

What information does the AI collect during intake?

The AI asks for: reason for visit, symptom duration, current symptoms, current medications, known allergies, relevant medical history, and insurance information. The depth depends on your practice type and the nature of the call. Your team can customize which fields are required.

How is the summary formatted in Kareo?

The summary appears as a structured note for your staff with sections for chief complaint, symptom review, current medications, allergies, and medical history. Your staff can copy it to a clinical note field, a patient message, or a separate intake document. Kareo's workflows determine how it's filed.

What if the AI's summary has an error or missing information?

Your staff reviews the summary before filing it. If there's an error or gap, you can edit it, call the patient back, or leave it as-is and note the discrepancy in your own clinical note. The summary is a starting point, not a final diagnosis.

Does the summary include the AI's interpretation of symptoms?

No. The summary reports what the caller said, not what the AI thinks it means. For example: 'Patient reports sharp pain in right chest area when breathing' not 'Patient may have pleurisy.' Clinical interpretation is your provider's job.

Can I see which intake summaries haven't been reviewed yet?

Yes. Intake summaries are flagged for your team. You can filter for 'pending review' summaries or set up reminders so nothing is missed between call and appointment.
