Integration

The call is a record too. It just isn't a chart note.

Where a voice AI keeps the call recording, the consent log and the sync audit trail relative to your EMR — linkable for reference, held under their own retention policy, and deliberately not embedded in the clinical note.

Call recordings and consent logs are stored separately from the chart: reachable for reference, not embedded in the clinical note
Storage is HIPAA-compliant, with access logs and a retention policy of its own rather than your EMR's
Every call is logged with a timestamp, caller identity, the EMR sync status, and the staff actions that followed it
That log is what lets you answer, later and separately, what the AI captured and what a staff member filed
Insurance details and photo ID travel their own path to your billing staff and never flow to the EMR automatically
Triage flags and urgent notes come back as summary items for provider review rather than as entries in the record

How it pays back

A recording is evidence, not documentation

The recording is what the patient said. The chart note is what a clinician documented. Keeping them in separate places, linked rather than merged, is what stops a transcript from quietly becoming a clinical record nobody signed.

Two retention policies, deliberately

Call recordings and consent logs are held under their own storage, access logging and retention rules rather than inheriting your EMR's. That is a feature when you need to answer a question about calls without reaching into the medical record.

The log separates what the AI did from what staff did

Timestamp, caller identity, sync status and the staff action that followed are recorded as distinct facts. Six months later, "the AI captured it and nobody filed it" and "the AI never captured it" are different answers, and the log knows which one applies.

A question about a call has an answer

Audit questions arrive months after the call, from people who were not there. A record that includes what was said, what was synced and who did what next is the difference between answering and reconstructing.

Named EMR connectors

Native integrations with athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Epic, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, AdvancedMD, ModMed — appointments and demographics write directly on call

Structured intake capture

Chief complaint, symptoms, caller intent, and insurance details returned as timestamped summary for staff review and filing

Zero clinical auto-population

Allergies, medications, and clinical notes remain staff-authored to maintain chart accuracy and compliance

Call recording with consent

HIPAA-compliant storage, access logs, and retention policy separate from EHR — linkable for reference but not embedded

Frequently asked questions

Is the call recording part of the patient's chart?

No. Recordings and consent logs are stored separately and remain accessible for chart reference, but they are not embedded in the clinical note. The note is authored by your clinician; the recording sits alongside it as reference material.

How long are recordings and consent logs kept?

They are held under a retention policy separate from your EMR's, with HIPAA-compliant storage and access logging. The specific period is something to confirm and document for your own practice rather than assume, because it is the kind of detail a compliance review will ask about by name.

What exactly is in the audit log for a single call?

A timestamp, the caller's identity, the EMR sync status for that call, and the staff actions taken afterwards. Together those four things describe the whole path from the phone ringing to something existing in the chart.

If someone asks later what the AI captured versus what staff filed, can we answer?

Yes, and separately, which is the useful part. The captured summary and the staff action are logged as distinct events, so a gap between them is visible instead of being inferred from an incomplete chart.

Where do insurance details and photo ID sit in all this?

On their own path. They are captured during the call and handed to your billing staff, and they never flow to the EMR automatically. That keeps identity and payment documents inside a workflow your team controls rather than distributed into the clinical record.

What happens to a triage flag raised during a call?

It comes back as a summary item for provider review rather than as an entry in the record. A flag is an alert for a person to act on; turning it into a chart entry on its own would put an unreviewed clinical judgment into the medical record.
