Workflow
Interventional pain procedures require strict prep: NPO status, medication holds, and precise arrival timing. AI calls patients 24-48 hours before the procedure, confirms they understand the requirements, and flags any issues for staff.
Patients arrive non-compliant (ate breakfast, didn't hold medications) and procedures get cancelled. AI confirms prep 24-48 hours before—patients remember, ask questions, and arrive ready.
Patient is taking an anticoagulant they forgot to mention. AI asks about all current medications during the pre-procedure call. Staff see the flag and contact the provider before the patient arrives.
Patients call the morning of asking 'Do I really need to fast?' or 'Can I take my blood pressure pill?' AI answered these questions 24 hours earlier; staff don't waste call time repeating.
Providers know patients are prepped and compliant because AI confirmed it. No surprises in the room, procedures start on time, and room turnaround improves.

AI is configured to call 24-48 hours before the scheduled procedure. Your practice can set the timing. AI confirms fasting window, medication holds, and arrival time.
AI leaves a message and attempts one or two more calls. If the patient doesn't answer, staff receive a note to call and confirm prep manually before the procedure.
Yes. AI is configured with specialty-specific prep rules (e.g., 'facet joint injection: NPO 4 hours' vs. 'epidural: NPO 6 hours'). The right instructions are deployed based on the scheduled procedure.
AI pulls current medications and allergies from the EMR chart, then asks the patient to confirm or update them. This ensures accuracy and catches recent changes.
AI captures the barrier (e.g., 'Cannot fast due to diabetes') and flags it for staff immediately. Your provider can adjust the procedure, reschedule, or discuss alternatives with the patient.
It's a confirmation call—AI confirms the patient understands prep and documents their commitment. Any clinical concerns (medication interactions, symptoms) are flagged for the provider; AI does not make clinical decisions.
