New Patient Workflow
New patient calls are chaotic: patients ramble, staff scribbles notes, data gets lost in transcription. AI captures structured intake data on the call and delivers it as a chart-ready summary your staff can verify and file in minutes.
Intake is finished on the call, not during the appointment. Your clinician starts with allergies, meds, and chief complaint already captured and ready for review. More time for care, less time hunting for patient information.
Name, date of birth, phone, email, and appointment type are captured on the call and written to your EMR. Your staff verifies demographics are correct and adds any missing details. No manual patient creation.
The summary includes a timeline of symptoms, list of current meds, allergies, and key medical history in a scannable format. Not narrative notes—organized data fields your staff and clinician can act on.
Staff knows before the appointment whether insurance needs verification, whether the patient needs to fill out additional questionnaires, or whether this case needs pre-visit nurse triage. Surprises and delays are caught early.

The AI captures name, date of birth, phone, and email during the call and writes them to your EMR to initiate the patient record. Your staff reviews the entry, verifies it's correct, and adds or updates any missing information. You retain control over the patient record. Clinical intake information (allergies, medications, medical history, symptoms) is captured on the call and delivered as a structured summary for your staff to review and file.
The AI captures what it can during the call. If history is extensive or unclear, the AI summary flags it for staff follow-up. Your staff can call the patient back, schedule a pre-appointment nurse call, or ask the patient to provide records. The AI gets the conversation started; your team completes it.
If the patient is already in your EMR, the AI recognizes them and updates their appointment and chief complaint. Staff review the call summary to confirm the reason for visit and flag any new allergies or medication changes. The call adds to the existing record, not a duplicate.
Yes. MedReception includes a patient web portal where patients can fill out or update intake forms. If a patient doesn't complete intake on the call, staff can send them a portal link via email or text. Portal entries are captured and delivered as a structured summary for your staff to review and file.
The AI documents what the patient shared and what they declined. Your staff receives the summary and can follow up before the appointment. Patients are never forced; intake is encouraged, and staff have context if a patient is reluctant.
