How it works
- 1Patient initiates contact via chat, voice, or kiosk
- 2AI triage assesses acuity and routes to the right care setting
- 3Eligibility, benefits, and prior authorization checked automatically
- 4Scheduling engine matches acuity, specialty, location, and capacity
- 5Identity verification and consent completed self-service
- 6No-show risk scored; slots dynamically rebalanced
Autonomy today
Chatbot triage and self-scheduling are common; prior auth and eligibility checks are still largely manual or semi-automated.
In ~5 years
Fully autonomous intake-to-scheduled-visit pipeline for the majority of non-emergent cases, with human escalation only for ambiguous triage.
Flaws & risks
- Triage AI can under-call or over-call acuity — false negatives are the dangerous failure mode
- Prior auth automation depends on payer API cooperation, which is uneven
- Digitally excluded patients need a fallback path, not just a worse one

Preparation checklist
- Audit current intake flow for manual handoffs that could be automated first
- Establish payer API connections ahead of prior-auth automation
- Define an escalation SLA for AI-triage edge cases
