New Patient Experience

Get complete new patient intake on the phone before they arrive. Let your provider focus on care, not data collection.

AI intake calls capture new patient information during scheduling. Your provider sees a complete intake summary before the first visit, not a blank chart or unfinished forms.

How it pays back

Maximize Chair Time on Day One

Your provider doesn't spend time on form entry. They see a complete intake summary and jump straight to clinical evaluation.

Catch Red Flags Before Arrival

Drug allergies, contraindications, and urgent symptoms are flagged during the intake call. Your team can prep or escalate before the patient arrives.

Better First Impression

New patients feel heard and prepared. The intake call is friendly and professional—not a voicemail tag or paper shuffling in a waiting room.

Reduce Administrative Work During Visit

Your front desk doesn't chase missing forms or repeat information. The patient's intake summary is ready for your team to review and file.

Chief complaint and history captured

Frequently asked questions

How is patient data protected during the intake call?

All intake calls are HIPAA-compliant. Audio is encrypted, data is transmitted securely, and the structured summary is stored with full audit trail and access controls.

What if the new patient doesn't answer all the intake questions?

The AI flags incomplete fields in the summary. Your staff can follow up by phone or email before the appointment, or your provider can gather the information at the visit.

Can I customize intake questions for different appointment types?

Yes. You can configure different intake flows for new patient visits, urgent concerns, follow-ups, and specialty appointments. The AI adapts its questions based on appointment type.

Do new patients have to do this? Can they skip intake?

Intake is part of the booking call, so it happens naturally. Patients rarely object—they prefer it to filling out forms. You can offer self-service intake for online bookings as an alternative.

How does this work with my EMR's new-patient workflow?

The intake summary is structured and pasteable into your EMR. New patient demographics (name, DOB, phone) are captured during the call. Your team reviews the complete summary and files it into your existing new-patient workflow.
