Sound familiar?

The problem

01
Referrals that tell half the story
The referral says "chest pain, please assess." Onset, triggers, medications and prior tests still have to be gathered in the room.
02
Phones full of prep questions
Patients call to confirm test dates, ask how to prepare for a stress test or Holter, and rebook. Each call pulls someone off the desk.
03
One front desk, several sites
One front desk team covers several locations. Calls wait on hold and intake paperwork piles up at whichever site is busiest.

Questions. Answered.

06 questions

01Does this replace my AI scribe?

No. Athel takes the history before the visit and handles the phones, which a scribe does not do. It works alongside the AI scribe you already use.

02What does the cardiology interview ask?

It covers presenting symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath and fainting, then follows up on onset, triggers, severity and timing. It also asks about cardiac risk factors, medications including blood thinners, prior tests and procedures, and family history.

03Does Athel work with Accuro?

Yes. Athel integrates with Accuro through a secure workflow extension, so the structured history is in the chart before the visit. It also works with OSCAR and TELUS.

04When do patients complete the interview?

Patients open a link on their phone and complete the interview before their appointment. Patients can also scan a QR code at the front desk.

05Does Athel diagnose or prioritize cardiac patients?

No. Athel is clinical decision support and does not diagnose or treat. It records what the patient reports and flags items for your review, and the cardiologist makes every clinical decision.

06Can Athel answer test prep and scheduling calls?

Yes. Athel's AI receptionist answers every call 24/7 and handles test-date and prep questions. It also books and rebooks appointments, so the front desk can stay with patients in clinic.
