Integration
The review step is real work and it belongs to somebody. What your staff actually does after a voice AI call, who on the team should own it, and what to train them on before go-live rather than after.
Marketing tends to conflate captured data with a populated chart. Appointments and demographics write directly; intake summaries come back for your team to review and file. Knowing which is which is what lets you plan the week honestly instead of discovering the review step in month two.
Reading a structured summary and deciding whether it is accurate is a judgment task. Typing a form is not. The people who were good at the second are not automatically the people you want doing the first, and the training is not the same either.
Clinical documentation is not authored by the AI. Your clinicians review, modify and sign off on chart entries, which is what keeps clinical governance and liability where they belong rather than distributed into a vendor's workflow.
A review step that belongs to everyone belongs to nobody by Thursday. Naming an owner, and a backup for the days that owner is off, is a five-minute decision that determines whether the whole workflow holds together.

Chief complaint, allergies, and questionnaire answers returned as structured text your staff pastes into the chart
Less than before, but not none, and the difference is in kind rather than only in volume. Your team stops fielding every call and re-keying what was said, and starts reviewing structured data and filing it. Planning for that step honestly is better than treating it as a rounding error.
Whoever is closest to the data in it. Clinical intake typically belongs to an MA or nurse; insurance belongs to billing; demographics corrections belong at the front desk. The mistake is leaving it unassigned, not picking the wrong person first.
How to read a structured summary critically, what to do when something looks wrong, where the call recording lives, and which fields are theirs to file. Training built around verification is different from training built around forms, and doing it before go-live is considerably cheaper.
Clinical documentation is reviewed, modified and signed off by your clinicians. Where exactly the line sits between front desk filing and clinical review is your practice's decision, but the fact that a clinician owns what enters the clinical record is not.
It means the work changes, and what that implies for headcount depends on your call volume, your current staffing and how much of the day currently goes to the phone. Anyone quoting you a staffing reduction without knowing those three things is guessing.
