The problem

01
Symptoms surface on treatment day
Fatigue, nausea or fever since the last cycle often comes up in the chair, when there is little time left to act on it.
02
Check-in calls take nursing time
Nurses phone patients before each cycle to ask the same symptom questions, one call at a time.
03
Scheduling calls never stop
Patients call about treatment dates, lab appointments and rescheduling, and each call pulls staff away from patients in clinic.

Routine check-ins and urgent symptoms. Both are planned for.

Safety

Routine

1Before each cycle, the patient checks in at home on fatigue, nausea, fever, mouth sores, diarrhea and numbness.
2Athel writes up what they report as a structured report.
3The report is in your EMR before treatment day, so the team can plan around it.

If something urgent comes up

1The patient reports a temperature of 38°C (100.4°F) or higher, chills, or feeling suddenly very unwell.
2Athel stops the check-in and tells them fever during chemotherapy can be an emergency: follow your cancer centre's fever instructions, call its 24-hour line or go to the nearest emergency department now, and call 911 if you feel very unwell.
3The report is marked urgent and the clinic is alerted right away, not on treatment day.

Athel never tells a patient that a fever is safe to wait on. Any reported fever during treatment takes the urgent path.

Questions. Answered.

07 questions

01What if a patient reports a fever?

Fever during chemotherapy can be a medical emergency, so Athel does not hold it for treatment day. If a patient reports a temperature of 38°C (100.4°F) or higher, or chills, Athel stops the check-in and tells them to follow their cancer centre's fever instructions right away: call the centre's 24-hour line or go to the nearest emergency department, and call 911 if they feel very unwell. At the same time the report is marked urgent and the clinic is alerted. Athel never tells a patient that a fever is safe to wait on.

02Does 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.

03What does the oncology check-in ask?

It asks about symptoms since the last cycle, including fatigue, nausea and vomiting, fever, mouth sores, diarrhea and numbness or tingling. It follows up on severity, timing and how each one affects daily life.

04When do patients complete it?

Patients get a link on their phone before each treatment day and complete the check-in from home. Your team reviews the report before the patient arrives.

05Does Athel decide whether treatment goes ahead?

No. Athel is clinical decision support and does not diagnose, treat or make treatment decisions. It records what the patient reports and flags items for your team to review.

06Which EMRs does Athel work with?

Athel works with Accuro, OSCAR and TELUS. Hospital systems such as Epic, Cerner and Meditech connect through HL7/FHIR.

07Can Athel answer scheduling calls?

Yes. Athel's AI receptionist answers every call 24/7, including treatment-date, lab and rescheduling calls. It also books and rebooks appointments.
