How an AI front desk handles it

The AI captures the form type, deadline, and delivery preference in a structured record so nothing is lost between the call and the clinician.

  • Form type and deadline captured
  • Delivery preference recorded
  • Structured routing
  • Status updates to the patient

What to measure

  • Answer speed and abandonment rate
  • First-call resolution for this call type
  • Staff hours returned to other work
