Intake
Voice AI conducts natural patient intake during the call: asking about symptoms, allergies, medications, insurance, and demographics. Data is captured as a structured summary for staff review and EMR filing.
Intake happens during the call, before the appointment. Patient arrives ready for the visit; staff has context ready for the provider. No clipboard, no 'we'll do it when you arrive.'
The AI asks follow-up questions ('When did it start?' 'Is it worse with movement?') and captures the narrative. Provider arrives at the exam ready to assess, not interview.
Critical safety data is logged during the call. Structured summary is visible to staff when the patient arrives, reducing chart-search delays and supporting medication safety review.
Insurance information is collected on the call. Staff review the summary, verify coverage if needed, and the patient doesn't repeat it at check-in.
Intake summaries are returned to staff for review. Staff verify accuracy, resolve any ambiguities, and file the summary into the EMR. No unreviewed or AI-authored clinical notes in the permanent record.
Structured intake captured on the call
Allergies, medications, chief complaint, symptoms—all documented before arrival
Natural conversation, not a form
Callers describe their symptoms in their own words; AI asks clarifying questions
EMR-pasteable summary for staff review
Intake is formatted for easy filing; staff maintain oversight before clinical data enters the chart
Insurance and ID data captured for staff handoff
Insurance verification handled by staff; AI captures the details during the call
No. The AI conducts a natural conversation focusing on the reason for the visit, relevant medical history, allergies, medications, and insurance. It skips unnecessary questions and follows up based on patient responses. This keeps the call brief and feels conversational, not like reading a form.
The AI returns a partial intake summary. Staff review it and can call the patient back or leave the missing fields blank for the provider to complete at the visit. The summary clearly flags what was and wasn't captured.
Yes. If the AI is connected to your EMR and the patient's record exists, the AI can pull their name, DOB, and insurance, ask only for new or updated information, and create a brief update summary instead of a full intake.
Yes. Intake data is encrypted, logged securely, and returned to your staff via a secure portal or directly into your EMR (depending on integration). The summary is never stored unencrypted or in third-party systems.
No. Allergy and medication data is captured on the call and returned as a structured summary for your staff to review. Staff then file the information into your EMR chart. This ensures a human verifies accuracy before allergies or medications enter the permanent clinical record—critical for patient safety.
Yes. Intake flows are tuned by specialty. Orthopedic intake includes mechanism of injury; cardiology might ask about chest pain characteristics; behavioral health asks about mood and sleep. Work with your vendor to configure questions relevant to your practice.
