"Integrating this with our Cerner EHR system was seamless, taking just two weeks, and the HIPAA safeguards with automated PHI logging gave us peace of mind during audits. In the first quarter post-implementation, response times for refill requests dropped from hours to under 5 minutes, cutting our no-show rate from 18% to 9%. Patients actually thank us for the convenience in managing their chronic conditions."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot ensure HIPAA compliance?
Our chatbots are engineered with end-to-end encryption, role-based access controls, and audit trails for every interaction involving PHI. We conduct regular penetration testing and align with HITRUST standards, ensuring your practice meets or exceeds regulatory requirements. Unlike generic tools, we customize data flows to your specific workflows, preventing accidental exposures. In one deployment, this setup passed a surprise HHS audit without issues, saving the clinic potential fines exceeding $50,000.
Can it integrate with our existing EHR system?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with platforms like Epic, Cerner, and Athenahealth. The chatbot pulls real-time data for accurate responses—such as availability or basic chart info—while pushing updates back securely. This eliminates manual lookups, reducing errors by 60% in our client implementations. Setup involves a one-time mapping of your APIs, followed by testing to ensure zero downtime during go-live.
What types of patient inquiries can it handle?
From scheduling routine check-ups to answering FAQs on medications or post-op care, our AI is trained on your practice's data for context-aware replies. It handles 70-80% of routine queries autonomously, like refill requests or insurance questions, escalating complex ones—like potential emergencies—to staff instantly. For a dermatology clinic, it resolved 90% of cosmetic procedure inquiries overnight, boosting bookings without extra hours.
How quickly can we get this up and running?
For most medical practices, we deliver a fully functional prototype in 4-6 weeks, with full deployment in 8-10 weeks. This includes discovery, custom development, HIPAA validation, and staff training. Smaller solo practices often launch faster, while multi-site operations take a bit longer for scaled integrations. Post-launch, we provide 30 days of optimization to fine-tune based on real patient interactions.
Is the chatbot customizable to our practice's voice?
Yes, we tailor the tone, terminology, and responses to match your brand—warm and reassuring for pediatrics, precise and informative for specialists. Using your intake forms, protocols, and past communications, the AI learns to communicate empathetically. One oncology group reported patients rating interactions as 'more personal' than phone support, improving satisfaction scores by 22%.
What if a patient needs to speak to a human?
The system intelligently detects when escalation is needed—based on keywords like 'chest pain' or unresolved loops—and transfers seamlessly to your on-call staff via integrated channels like Slack or phone. It passes full context, so no repetition. This hybrid model handled 95% handoffs smoothly in a recent urgent care rollout, minimizing frustration during peak times.
