About This Automation

Medical history updates arrive constantly at check-in, but manually comparing new submissions against existing records is slow and error-prone. Staff spend 6- per patient reading through forms and charts side by side, hunting for changes.

Automation compares the new submission against the current chart instantly, flags critical items like new allergies or medications, and notifies the clinician. The clinician reviews only what matters, and the chart updates automatically.

Key features:

Compare new medical history submissions against existing patient records automatically

Identify and flag new medications, allergies, surgeries, and other significant changes

Highlight critical items that require immediate clinician review before the appointment

Send instant notifications to the clinician with a summary of all changes

Update the patient chart automatically with verified new information

Top friction points when done manually

The issues teams report most often with this process

#	Friction point	Companies Report This
1	Manual side-by-side comparison Staff read through old and new forms simultaneously, looking for any differences, which is time-consuming and prone to missed changes.	80%
2	Delayed critical alerts Clinicians may not receive notification of new allergies or medications until after the patient is already in the chair.	67%
3	Duplicate data entry Staff manually type changes into the chart after identifying them, creating a second opportunity for error.	53%
4	Inconsistent flagging Different staff members may prioritize or flag changes differently, leading to inconsistent clinician awareness.	40%
5	Paper chart retrieval delays Locating and pulling paper charts adds time and creates bottlenecks during busy check-in periods.	26%

An intelligent compares the new submission against the current record, identifies new medications, allergies, surgeries, or other significant changes, and flags items that need clinical review.

5. Update Patient Chart
