Documentation

AI captures patient intake on call; structured summary returned for your team to review and file in Kareo

Medical history, symptoms, medications, and questionnaire answers are captured during the call and returned as a pre-formatted summary. Staff reviews and files the documentation in Kareo — not auto-populated by the AI.

How it pays back

Intake Is Complete Before Patient Arrives

Patient calls ahead or during new patient scheduling. AI asks comprehensive intake questions. Your staff receives a structured, ready-to-file summary before the appointment — no intake forms to fill out in the waiting room.

Staff Reviews, Then Files — Not Auto-Populated

Clinical documentation is a staff responsibility. The AI returns a clean summary; your team reviews it for accuracy, adds provider notes, and files it in Kareo. This preserves your clinical governance and audit trail.

Rooming Time Shrinks

Provider has the history already. No 'Tell me about your medications' conversation — it's documented. Rooming is focused on physical exam, not data gathering.

Fewer Handwritten Forms and Transcription Errors

Intake is structured and typed, not handwritten and misread. Allergies, medication names, and dosages are captured accurately and clearly.

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI auto-populate the patient chart in Kareo?

No. The AI captures intake and returns a structured summary. Your staff reviews the summary for accuracy and completeness, then files it in Kareo — preserving your clinical review and governance process.

What if the patient gives conflicting information on the call and at check-in?

The AI-captured summary is a reference. During rooming, your staff can update any discrepancies and document the corrected information in Kareo. The intake summary is a starting point, not a final record.

Can the AI ask specialty-specific intake questions?

Yes. Intake questions can be configured per specialty. A dermatology practice asks about skin history; orthopedics asks about injury and mobility. The AI asks the right questions for your practice type.

What happens if a patient skips the pre-call intake and shows up without calling ahead?

The AI intake is optional. Walk-in or established patients can complete paper or digital intake at check-in as usual. The AI intake benefit is for callers who are booking ahead or new patient inquiries.

Are allergies and medications captured reliably?

Yes. The AI asks specific follow-up questions (drug names, dosages, reactions, timing of allergies). The structured summary includes all responses. Your staff can verify and correct before filing.

Does this work for established patients calling for refills or check-ups?

Yes. The AI can capture reason for visit and chief complaint for established patients. For refills or routine check-ups, a shorter intake is used. The summary is filed in the patient's existing Kareo record.
