Efficiency
Pain patients miss appointments—wasting a procedure slot and disrupting your schedule. AI receptionist automates confirmation calls and text reminders, and identifies patients likely to cancel so your staff can intervene early.
A patient books a cervical epidural but forgets the appointment date. AI sends a text 48 hours out; patient confirms via text reply. If they forget again, a same-day reminder triggers—and if they don't respond, your staff calls before the block time is lost.
Patient cancels a procedure slot 24 hours ahead. AI logs the cancellation and immediately offers it to the next patient on your waitlist. Your procedure block doesn't evaporate—it fills from existing demand.
With confirmations come automated pre-procedure instructions—NPO timing, medication holds, what to wear. Patients arrive ready; your staff doesn't spend the first 10 minutes explaining what they should have already known.
Your front desk no longer spends hours per day calling to confirm appointments. AI handles the first pass; your staff only reaches out to patients who don't respond, focusing effort on high-risk no-shows.
Patient responses logged
Confirmations, cancellations, and reschedule requests captured without staff involvement
Cancellations filled in real time
Open slots offered to waitlist patients immediately; no empty procedure blocks
Staff intervention targeted
Your team focuses on non-responders and high-risk no-show patterns, not routine confirmations
Typically 48 hours and 2 hours before. For procedures, consider extending to 72 hours so patients have time to ask questions and prepare. You control the timing; we recommend testing to find what works for your patient population.
They reply via text, press a number on the phone, or click a link in an email. All responses are logged; if they request a reschedule, the AI offers available slots and books if they confirm.
After a set time (e.g., 24 hours), the AI flags the patient as non-confirming. Your staff receives an alert and can call to confirm manually or identify barriers to attendance.
Yes. Your clinical team creates templates for each procedure type—NPO instructions, medication holds, arrival time, what to bring. These are automatically included in confirmations.
Immediately. The AI logs the cancellation and sends confirmations to the next patient(s) on your waitlist. If they confirm within your set window, the slot is filled before your procedure schedule is disrupted.
