Scheduling
Interventional pain practices need scheduling logic that recognizes fluoroscopy time, anesthesia coordination, and procedure complexity. AI-driven scheduling prevents double-booking, respects clinical workflows, and books consultations vs. interventions correctly.
AI knows the difference between a 20-minute injection procedure requiring fluoroscopy and a 30-minute consultation. It books the consultation in open time and reserves the interventional suite for procedures—no overbooking, no missed room time.
Appointment confirmation includes fasting instructions, medication holds, and pain log reminder. Patients who are prepared are more likely to show up on time and are ready for the procedure—fewer delays and smoother cases.
By scheduling consultations and procedures into the right slots, you maximize provider efficiency and fluoroscopy suite usage. More procedures per day, more revenue per provider.
AI asks about imaging needs at intake and flags required imaging (MRI, CT) to staff. Imaging can be ordered and completed before the appointment—no same-day delays due to missing diagnostic films.
Procedure type classification
New consultation, injection, diagnostic block, or follow-up identified and routed to appropriate slot
Block time awareness
Anesthesia coordination, fluoroscopy duration, and recovery time reserved and protected
Pre-procedure preparation
Fasting, medication holds, imaging needs, and pain log captured and communicated to patient
EMR-linked rescheduling
Cancellations and reschedules update block time availability and sync back to practice schedule
Your staff configure procedure types in the system: 'cervical epidural injection' = 30 min, 'joint injection' = 20 min, 'consultation' = 45 min, etc. The AI uses these templates to book the correct duration and type of appointment slot.
During intake, if the AI identifies that imaging is needed, staff are alerted to order it before the appointment. The patient receives an imaging referral or instructions to schedule imaging at your facility—avoiding delays on procedure day.
Yes. When a procedure slot opens due to cancellation, your staff can flag the appointment as available in MedReception. Patients on the waitlist can be contacted or notified, and the slot can be booked for another patient—maximizing facility utilization.
The AI sends a confirmation with procedure-specific instructions: fasting time, medication holds (e.g., aspirin, anticoagulants), transportation (patient should not drive post-sedation), and a reminder to complete a pain log before the visit.
