Data Capture

Capture Complete Patient Information During the Call: AI-Powered Structured Intake

Every inbound call is an opportunity to gather patient data. MedReception captures demographics, reason for contact, and medical history during the call and returns a structured summary for your EMR.

How it pays back

Complete Intake on First Contact

Instead of a staff member spending time on intake after a patient arrives or books, MedReception gathers that information during the call. The patient is never asked the same questions twice, and your team receives a complete summary ready to review and file.

Faster Appointment Experience

Patients who have already provided their information at call time have a shorter check-in. They feel recognized and the front desk has fewer forms to process. Patients in and out faster, staff stress reduced, practice efficiency improved.

Higher Data Quality & Completeness

Captured data is validated in real time. Phone numbers, dates of birth, and spelling are confirmed during the call so your records are clean. No illegible handwriting, no data re-entry, no gaps in the patient record.

Structured Intake

Demographics, reason for visit, and medical history captured conversationally at call

EMR-Ready Summary

Call data returned as a clean, structured summary for staff review and filing

Frequently asked questions

How sensitive is the data collected during the call?

All data is encrypted and transmitted securely. MedReception is HIPAA-compliant and meets healthcare data protection standards. Calls are not recorded or stored longer than required for documentation purposes.

Do patients need to provide insurance information on the call?

Insurance information can be collected on the call, but it is returned as part of the structured summary for your staff to review and file into the patient record.

What happens if a patient already has a chart in the EMR?

MedReception looks up the patient by phone number and pulls their existing record. The system gathers any new or updated information (change of address, new symptoms, medication changes) and returns it as part of the summary for your team to review and update the chart.

Can I customize which information is collected on each call?

Yes. You can set the intake questionnaire based on your practice's specialty and workflow. New patients get a full intake; existing patients get a brief update. You control the scope of data collection.
