Patient Intake Automation

Paper intake forms caused 20-minute delays per patient and insurance verification bottlenecks.

Overview

We built a mobile-first digital intake system that replaces paper clipboards with smart forms, verifies insurance eligibility in real time, and syncs directly with the practice's EHR — cutting check-in time from 20 minutes to under 5.

The Challenge

A multi-location medical practice had patients filling out paper forms on clipboards. Front desk staff spent significant time per patient manually entering data into the EHR, verifying insurance eligibility, and following up on missing information. The bottleneck at check-in created waiting room frustration and scheduling inefficiencies.

Our Approach

1

Created mobile-first digital intake forms with conditional logic and real-time validation

2

Integrated real-time insurance eligibility verification via clearinghouse APIs

3

Built OCR for extracting data from uploaded insurance cards and photo IDs

4

Implemented bidirectional EHR sync following HL7 FHIR standards

Patient satisfaction improved due to reduced wait times

The paper forms were our biggest headache. Patients hated them, staff hated transcribing them, and insurance verification was a mess. Now patients fill everything out on their phone before they arrive. Front desk just confirms and checks them in.
