New Patient Workflow

The clinician's view of an intake that already happened before the patient arrived

From the clinician's side the difference is what is on screen when the chart opens: a record that already exists, demographics already populated, and a structured intake summary to read rather than a history to take from the beginning.

How it pays back

The first minutes are not history-taking

Clinicians do not spend the opening of the visit asking questions that were already answered. The encounter starts at the chief complaint and the assessment.

You read a summary instead of asking a stranger to recite

Medical history, chief complaint, current medications and allergies arrive as structured data for clinical review, which is a different task from extracting the same information from a patient in the room.

Nothing auto-populates the clinical record

Demographics sync; clinical content does not. It arrives as a summary for your team to review and file, so no clinical statement enters the chart without a person having read it.

Corrections happen before the visit

If something changed between the call and the appointment, staff edit the demographic fields and the summary in your EMR beforehand. The AI summary is a starting point, not a locked record.

Frequently asked questions

When does the chart actually exist?

At appointment confirmation. The AI writes demographics (name, DOB, phone) to your EMR in real time, so the record is there and ready for clinical staff before the patient arrives.

What is already filled in when I open it?

Name, date of birth, phone number and appointment details. Medical history, medications, allergies and chief complaint are attached as a structured summary for your team to review and file.

Does clinical information auto-populate into my note?

No. Demographics are automatic; clinical intake arrives as a summary for staff to review and file. There is no blind auto-population, so your team controls what enters the chart.

What if the patient's information changed between the call and the visit?

Your staff can edit the demographic fields and the clinical summary in your EMR before the appointment, exactly as they would today.

Does this work with our EMR?

Yes, if your EMR is one of our named supported platforms: athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, ModMed, Practice Fusion, Jane, Office Ally, TherapyNotes, Accuro, pMD, PS Suite, and Nextech. We write demographic data and retrieve appointment availability across all of them.
