Urology Procedure Prep
Enema, antibiotic, NPO, blood thinner: prep questions land at 9 p.m. Answer them from your own written instructions instead of losing the slot.
Prep paperwork is handed over at the visit where the patient was also told they need a biopsy, the worst possible moment for retention. The question surfaces the night before, when the office is closed. If the only option is voicemail, the patient guesses, and some guesses cost you the slot.
The AI does not tell anyone to hold, resume or alter a blood thinner. Practices choose between two configurations: it reads back your authorized written instruction verbatim, or it routes every medication question to the clinician your protocol names. The default errs toward routing.
Prep failure discovered on arrival wastes the block and the patient's day, and a 7 a.m. gap is rarely refillable. Catching it the night before turns a lost case into a rescheduled one, and gives your pre-operative nurse a list rather than a surprise.
Urology groups routinely operate across an office procedure room, an ambulatory surgery center and a hospital. The AI confirms the site, the entrance and the arrival time attached to the actual booking, removing one of the most common and most avoidable day-of delays.
First-ring answer at 9 p.m.
Prep questions arrive after hours by nature; the call is answered in under a second rather than reaching voicemail
A prep script per procedure
Biopsy, cystoscopy, urodynamics, ureteroscopy, lithotripsy and vasectomy answered from your own current material
Medication questions routed, not answered
Anticoagulant hold decisions stay with the prescriber; the AI never improvises a hold instruction
The AI does not answer that from its own knowledge. Depending on the configuration you choose, it either reads back your authorized written instruction for that procedure verbatim, or routes the call to whoever your protocol names for medication questions. It never composes a hold instruction.
From you. During setup we load your existing pre-procedure material, mapped by procedure type, and the AI speaks from those documents. When you update a sheet, the next caller hears the updated version.
Yes, when the caller says so. The call produces a timestamped alert naming the procedure, the site and what was missed, routed to whoever manages your pre-operative list. Some practices also authorize a reschedule offer on the same call.
It says what your current protocol says, and nothing else. Practice varies considerably here, including between transrectal and transperineal approaches, and some practices no longer use an enema at all. The AI is not where that question gets settled; your written protocol is.
The system speaks dozens of languages and delivers the same instructions in the caller's own language, without a family member improvising a translation of a fasting rule at 10 p.m.
Yes. Confirmation, arrival time, site and prep read-back happen in one call. Where scheduling is connected those details come from the booked appointment; that write-back is available through API or FHIR, and available through secure workflow automation where no open interface exists.
