Before automation

Mon–Fri: Front desk spends 15 hours/week on manual reminder calls with 22% no-show rate still occurring

Daily: Physicians spend 2+ hours after clinic hours completing SOAP notes from memory

Frequently Asked Questions
Is AI scribing HIPAA-compliant and safe to use with patient encounters? ▼
Yes. Ambient AI scribes like Abridge, Heidi, and DeepScribe are HIPAA-compliant and have BAAs with healthcare practices. Audio is processed securely and note drafts are reviewed by the physician before being finalized in the EHR — the physician retains full clinical responsibility.
How much revenue does reducing no-shows by 16 percentage points actually recover? ▼
For a practice seeing 200 appointments per month at an average $150 reimbursement value, dropping from 22% to 6% no-shows recovers 32 appointments per month — or $4,800/month in recovered revenue. At that rate, the full automation investment ($18,000) pays back in 4 months.
Does the appointment reminder system integrate with our existing EHR/PMS? ▼
Automation platforms like n8n, Curogram, and Luma Health integrate with most major EHRs including athenahealth, Kareo/Tebra, eClinicalWorks, and Jane App. The reminder system reads upcoming appointments from the schedule and sends messages through Twilio or a HIPAA-compliant messaging platform.
