EMR Integration

New patient demographics and contact info written directly to your EMR during booking

When a new patient books an appointment via the AI receptionist, confirmed name, date of birth, phone number, and email are automatically written to your EMR as a new patient record.

How it pays back

Your EMR has a complete patient account before the first visit

The new patient record is created automatically with confirmed contact information. By the time the patient arrives, their chart exists, appointments are linked to their account, and clinical staff can access prior visit notes if applicable. No manual record creation. No duplicate accounts.

Eliminates duplicate patient records from the start

The AI checks your EMR to confirm the patient is new before creating a record. If a matching account exists, the AI flags it and your staff can consolidate. Prevents the costly mess of split records and fragmented care history.

Front desk staff skip the account-creation step entirely

When patients arrive for their first appointment, the account is already in your system. Check-in focuses on insurance verification and intake questionnaire review, not typing contact information. One less thing your staff has to do.

Contact information is confirmed and accurate by design

The AI asks for phone and email during the call and confirms them back to the patient. By the time the data reaches your EMR, it's been verbally validated. Reduces bad contact info and failed appointment reminders.

Frequently asked questions

What patient data is written to my EMR automatically?

Name, date of birth, phone number, and email address are written to your EMR when the AI confirms them during the booking call. Medical history, insurance, questionnaire responses, and chief complaint are captured during the call and returned to your staff as a structured summary for review and filing.

How does the AI avoid creating duplicate patient records?

Before creating a new account, the AI queries your EMR using name and date of birth. If a matching record is found, the AI alerts your staff to verify whether it's the same patient or a new one. Your staff has final control over duplicates.

Can the patient update their information after the account is created?

Yes. Patients can update their contact info in the MedReception patient portal or by calling back. Your staff can also update demographics in the EMR directly. Updates are managed through your EMR system.

What if the patient's EMR system doesn't support automatic record creation?

The AI captures all demographics on the call and returns them as a structured summary. Your staff reviews the summary and manually creates the account in your EMR. The process is still faster and more organized than starting from scratch.

Are patient accounts created even if the booking is tentative or pending provider approval?

You can configure this behavior. Some practices create accounts only after a confirmed booking; others create accounts immediately so the patient is in the system for any follow-up communication. Your preference controls the workflow.
