Patient Intake

Replace paper intake forms with AI-led voice interviews that capture structured data for your team to review and file

Voice AI conducts patient intake interviews during inbound calls, asking key questions and recording responses as structured fields—demographics, chief complaint, allergies, medications—that staff review, approve, and file.

How it pays back

Paper intake forms disappear

Callers answer questions during the call instead of completing a form in the waiting room or sending email. Data is captured live, structured, and ready for review.

No data re-entry by staff

Allergies, medications, and demographics are captured once on the call. Your staff reviews the summary; no manual typing from a form into the chart.

Consistency across all caller types

New patients, returning patients, referrals, and callbacks all follow the same structured intake questions. Every record is complete and comparable.

Triage happens during intake, not after

The AI asks about urgency, symptoms, and red flags. Urgent cases are flagged and escalated immediately; routine visits are booked or scheduled for callback.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know which intake questions to ask?

Your practice configures the intake flow by specialty and call type. Common questions include allergies, medications, chief complaint, symptom duration, and urgency. You can add or remove questions to match your workflow.

What happens if the caller provides incomplete or contradictory information?

The AI records what was said and flags unclear responses in the summary for staff review. Your staff can clarify with the patient at check-in or by callback before the appointment.

Can the AI intake be customized for my specialty?

Yes. Dermatology, orthopedics, psychiatry, and other specialties have different intake priorities. The AI and intake flow are configured per your specialty and practice protocols.

Is the intake summary sent to the patient or stored only for staff?

The summary is stored in the staff-only MedReception portal and accessible to your team. No intake data is sent to the patient; it is staff-facing only until it is approved and filed into the chart.

Do existing patients skip intake or get asked again?

By default, existing patients with a chart are asked a shorter intake to capture any changes in medications, allergies, or reason for visit. You can configure intake to be skipped entirely for returning patients if preferred.
