New Patient Workflow

Automate new patient intake and have charts ready before the appointment

AI receptionists capture intake on the call. Demographic data (name, DOB, phone) writes to your EMR instantly. Clinical details arrive as a structured, EMR-pasteable summary for staff review.

How it pays back

Charts ready before check-in

Demographic data (name, DOB, contact info) writes to your EMR at booking. When the patient arrives, the chart exists and clinical staff have a structured intake summary to review.

Faster clinical encounters

Clinicians don't spend the first few minutes of the visit asking intake questions they already have. They can dive into the chief complaint and clinical assessment.

New patient setup in seconds, not hours

No manual chart creation, no data entry delays. The EMR record is live the moment the appointment is confirmed.

Insurance captured and summarized at intake

Insurance details are captured during the call and returned to staff as a structured summary for review and filing before the visit.

Instant new patient record creation

Name, DOB, phone, and appointment details written to EMR upon booking confirmation

Pre-visit intake summary

Medical history, chief complaint, current medications, and allergies returned as structured data for clinical review and filing

Insurance captured on call

Verified and handed to staff as summary for review and filing; no post-appointment surprises

Zero chart prep time

Frequently asked questions

When does the new patient chart get created?

Immediately upon appointment confirmation. The AI writes demographics (name, DOB, phone) to your EMR in real time, so the chart exists and is ready for clinical staff to review before the patient arrives.

What information is pre-filled in the new chart?

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

Do we have to manually enter any new patient information?

Demographics are automatic. Clinical intake (history, allergies, medications) arrives as a summary for your staff to review and file. No blind auto-population—your team controls what goes into the chart.

What if the patient's information changes before their appointment?

Your staff can edit the demographic fields and clinical summary in your EMR before the visit, just as they would today. The AI summary is a starting point, not a locked record.

Does this work with our specific EMR?

Yes, if your EMR is one of our named supported platforms: athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Epic, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, AdvancedMD, and ModMed. We write demographic data and retrieve appointment availability across all of them.
