Patient Intake
Learn how AI receptionists handle new patient intake during the initial scheduling call, create patient records in your EMR, and deliver structured summaries so your chart is ready before the first appointment.
New patient calls, gives name and reason for visit, AI books appointment and creates demographics in your EMR. Patient hangs up and your chart has the baseline info ready. No follow-up email, no portal form needed.
Your staff log in the morning and see: new patient John Smith, 42-year-old, DOB 3/14/1982, reason: back pain 2 weeks, allergies: none reported, no prior surgeries. No transcription, no hunting through voicemail.
When the new patient arrives, front desk confirms their info is correct, collects insurance card and photo ID, and patient heads to waiting area. The clinician sees a complete intake summary, not a blank form.
New patients who give their appointment details and full name on the call are more likely to show up. They're already committed to the date and time.
AI asks follow-up questions on the call: 'How long has the pain been going on? Does it hurt at rest or with movement?' These details are captured and filed so the clinician knows the context before the appointment.

No blank intake forms at arrival
Chart is pre-populated with structured new patient summary ready for clinician review
The AI asks the essentials: name, DOB, chief complaint, and any allergies or current medications. If the patient prefers not to answer, the AI notes that and your staff can ask at check-in. The goal is context, not a full history interrogation.
Use the phone call to capture the top-line info (name, DOB, reason for visit, allergies, medications). Then, when the patient arrives, hand them the longer intake form to complete or review your patient portal version if they prefer digital.
Yes. The AI can answer FAQs: 'Do you accept my insurance?', 'What time should I arrive?', 'Where do I park?'. If it doesn't know, it escalates to your staff or schedules a callback.
The AI captures what it can (name, DOB, appointment time, chief complaint) and flags incomplete fields. Your staff can call to finish the intake, or the patient fills it out at check-in. Either way, your chart has the baseline info.
Yes. The demographics remain in your EMR as a new patient record. If they reschedule or call back later, your staff can see they've been in your system before.
