About This Automation

Patient intake at dental practices involves collecting forms, verifying insurance, and entering data into the practice system, all done manually by receptionists. Manual processes create delays, incomplete submissions, and duplicate data entry that frustrate both staff and patients.

Automation sends intake forms immediately after booking, monitors completion, flags missing information, and syncs validated data directly into the practice system. Patients complete intake the same day, and receptionists spend minutes instead of hours on each new patient.

Key features
Send intake forms automatically when appointments are booked
Monitor form submissions and send reminders for incomplete responses
Validate form data and flag missing or illegible information
Extract patient data and sync directly into practice management system
Store consent forms and insurance documents in the patient file
Notify clinical staff when intake is complete and ready for appointment
