Workflow

Prior blocks and ablations, the current medication list, anticoagulation and anesthesia history: the pre-procedure picture collected on the booking call

Intervention planning depends on history the patient carries in their head. What the first call inventories about prior procedures, medications, and comorbidities, and who reviews it before a plan is made.

How it pays back

The consent conversation starts from something

Knowing before the visit that a patient is on high-dose opioids, has diabetes, or has had a prior ablation at the same level shapes how your provider approaches both the plan and the consent discussion, rather than both being reconstructed in the room.

The medication list arrives in time for a person to check it

Your staff review the current medication list returned by the AI and flag drug interactions, overdose concerns, or contraindications to the planned procedure. High-risk combinations are escalated to your provider before the visit, not noticed during it.

A repeat intervention is known to be a repeat

Prior blocks and ablations are captured with the level and the outcome the patient reports. Your provider knows whether they are planning a first attempt or a repeat before they look at the schedule.

History-taking is not what the visit is for

Pain history, prior treatments, current regimen, and why the patient is presenting now are documented before the appointment. The visit itself goes to examination, imaging review, and intervention planning.

Pain history structured upfront

Onset, quality, pattern, radiation, severity, and impact on function captured during booking

Prior intervention inventory

Complete record of prior injections, nerve blocks, ablations, surgery, and physical therapy

New patient demographics and contact info captured

Name, DOB, phone captured on the call and returned as a structured summary for chart filing

Staff review before provider visit

Intake summary available for clinical staff to validate and add notes; no detail missed

Frequently asked questions

What does the AI ask about prior injections and ablations?

For each prior intervention: the type, the date, the level, the provider's name if the patient remembers it, and the outcome. That is usually enough for your team to know which outside records are worth chasing.

The patient has had procedures at several different facilities. Does that break the intake?

No. The oral history is captured as the patient tells it and flagged for your staff to track down prior imaging and notes from the outside facilities. A patient rarely has all the records; what matters is knowing they exist and roughly where.

Does the AI check for drug interactions?

No, and it should not. It captures the medication list with doses and frequency. Your staff review it and flag interactions, overdose concerns, or contraindications, and escalate high-risk combinations to your provider before the visit.

Can it ask about opioid use and tolerance?

Yes. It asks about current pain medications including opioids, doses, and frequency, and returns the answers for review. That is information your provider needs when thinking about sedation and post-procedure pain management.

Which comorbidities are screened for?

Diabetes, hypertension, anticoagulation, bleeding disorders, prior adverse anesthesia events, and significant surgical history. All are captured and available for your provider to review ahead of the visit.
