Retina Practice
Injection patients call to move a visit. Protect treat-and-extend intervals, book into your injection template, and surface lapsed series to recall.
A moved injection is not a moved exam: the new date has to land inside the window the retina specialist set. The AI holds your booking rules per injection template, so a patient calling at 8 p.m. is offered a date your protocol permits, not a callback tomorrow. Anything your rules do not cover goes to a person.
Injection sessions are built tightly around physician block time and drug preparation, so a late cancellation is an expensive hole. Cancellations are captured as they happen and the freed slot surfaced to your team, so the chair can be re-offered rather than found empty next morning.
Patients who quietly stop coming rarely announce it. Calls that suggest a lapse — asking whether they still need to come in, cancelling a second time, asking what happens if they stop — are tagged and returned to your recall list with what the patient said.
Calls are answered in under a second with unlimited concurrent lines, so a Monday-morning surge does not pull a technician off the injection cart or strand a post-injection caller behind a queue of scheduling calls.

Both, and you decide which. You give the AI a defined set of visit types and templates it may book, such as injection-only or injection with imaging. Requests outside those rules are routed to your schedulers with the full call summary. The AI never judges whether an interval is clinically acceptable.
It captures the request, the reason behind it, and the dates the patient can actually do, then applies your booking rules. If those rules permit a date in that range, it books it. If not, the caller is told the retina team will confirm and the request reaches staff immediately. The clinical decision stays with your physician.
What it can see depends on the integration you enable and the scope you authorise. Most retina practices keep drug and authorisation detail with staff and configure the AI for scheduling, logistics, and message capture. EHR connectivity is available through API or FHIR, with custom integration where no direct path exists.
The cancellation is captured with a timestamp and the stated reason, the appointment is flagged, and your team is alerted through the channel you configure — so the slot shows as freed first thing rather than being found empty at chair time.
Outbound recall calling is available: you define who belongs on the list and what the call says, and the system places the calls and books or escalates by your rules. Your practice owns the list criteria — the AI does not decide who is clinically overdue. Booking rules are set per provider and location.
