FAQ
Does this require us to switch our EMR from WellSky or Axxess?
No. Our AI solutions are designed to sit on top of your existing EMR, using APIs or secure RPA to push and pull data without disrupting your current workflow.
Is the AI HIPAA compliant?
Absolutely. We use enterprise-grade, HIPAA-compliant AI environments with BAA agreements in place, ensuring all PHI is encrypted and never used for training public models.
Can AI actually read handwritten physician notes on faxes?
Yes. Modern Vision LLMs are significantly more accurate than traditional OCR, capable of interpreting messy handwriting and complex medical terminology on hospital referral documents.
How long does it take to see these time savings?
Most agencies see a reduction in manual data entry within the first 14 days of deploying a referral intake agent.
What happens if the AI makes a mistake on a referral?
We implement a 'Human-in-the-loop' system where the AI flags low-confidence data for a coordinator to review, ensuring 100% accuracy for clinical records.
