Workflow

Confirm medications, allergies, and imaging before the patient sits in your chair — AI gathers pre-op details on booking call

Pre-procedure phone calls take time and are easy to miss. Patients forget medications, allergies aren't documented, imaging is in another system. AI confirms pre-op readiness, medication reconciliation, and imaging location on the booking call — your staff reviews a complete pre-op summary for chart verification.

How it pays back

Reduce procedure-day surprises

Patient arrives on warfarin, has undisclosed allergy, or imaging isn't available. AI captures these details on the booking call or 24 hours before, giving your staff time to reschedule, obtain clearances, or adjust protocol.

Automate routine pre-op questions

Your RN or physician doesn't have to call every patient to ask about meds and allergies. AI handles the routine checklist. Staff focuses on interpretation, clearance decisions, and complex cases.

Comply with procedure protocols

Every patient gets asked the same critical pre-op questions. Documentation is consistent, auditable, and ready for your staff to review and file. No missed allergy history or anticoagulation status.

Improve schedule efficiency

Identify contraindications or missing imaging days in advance, not minutes before procedure start. Fewer last-minute cancellations or rescheduling.

Medication reconciliation captured

Anticoagulants, NSAIDs, diabetes meds, and other relevant drugs logged on booking or reminder call

Pre-op checklist completed

Allergies, prior reactions, bleeding risk, pregnancy status, imaging location all confirmed

Structured summary ready

Pre-procedure summary returned to staff for chart review and flagging of clearance needs

Contraindications identified early

Pacemaker, active infection, uncontrolled diabetes, imaging not available caught before procedure day

Frequently asked questions

When does the AI call for pre-procedure intake?

You set the timing. Common options: on the booking call (when patient schedules), or via reminder call 24–48 hours before the procedure. Some practices use both — quick checklist on booking, detailed verification closer to the date.

What if the patient is on a medication that requires pre-procedure clearance?

The AI captures the medication and flags it in the summary. Your staff reviews the summary and decides if cardiology clearance, washout period, or other protocol applies. The summary is the communication tool — staff makes the clinical decision.

Can the AI confirm imaging is actually on file in the PACS?

The AI asks the patient where imaging was done and when. It captures that information and returns it in the summary to your staff. Your staff or IT team confirms PACS integration and imaging availability. The AI ensures the question is asked and answered.

What if a patient lies or forgets to mention a medication?

AI captures what the patient reports and returns it in the summary. Your staff reviews the summary pre-procedure as part of normal chart review and in-person verification. The AI ensures the question is asked and documented — clinical staff make final verification decisions.

Does this work for patients who speak languages other than English?

Yes, if your practice uses multi-language support. AI can be configured to ask pre-op questions in Spanish, French, Mandarin, or other languages your patient population uses.
