Tuesday Telehealth Tip: AI Triage—Your 24/7 Virtual Front Desk
|
Hi Reader Welcome to the first in a 4-part series on AI in Telehealth! As I mentioned last week, this ties into a presentation and webinar I'm doing later this month (stay tuned for your invite). Last week we talked about making the Telehealth experience actually pleasant. Remember, small adjustments on your end make a big difference for patients. Today we're diving into something that can work for you even while you sleep: AI-powered triage and symptom checkers. What Are They? These are AI chatbots that ask patients about their symptoms and guide them to the right next step—whether that's scheduling an appointment, heading to urgent care, or trying some self-care at home. Why Should You Care?
A Few Things to Keep in Mind
This Week's Challenge: Check if your EHR patient portal already has a symptom checker built in—many do! Or take 10 minutes to explore a tool to see what's out there and let me know what you find! When patients can get quick answers and feel supported, they're more likely to engage with their care. And that's a win for everyone. Curious how AI triage could work in YOUR practice?

Practice owners and administrators have saved up to 10 hours per week and increased revenue by over 10% each month. How much would that be worth to you? I’m offering a small number of paid 1-hour Tech audits this month focused on quick wins. $399 gets you:

Hey Reader, Here's something I see constantly with small mental health and wellness practices: They set up Telehealth during COVID, it worked "well enough," and now it's just... there. A way to keep patients happy. What it's not being used as is a revenue tool. That's a missed opportunity — and it's more common than you'd think. When your virtual care setup is actually dialed in, a few things happen: You stop losing patients to friction. A clunky intake process, a platform that confuses...
Hi Reader What's taking up too much of your time? Last week I asked you to write down the one task you do manually, repeatedly, and kind of dread. A lot of you replied. And I want you to know — I read every single one. The answers fell into two buckets, administrative work and keeping patients engaged. Not your clinical work, It's the administrative grind that follows. That's not a coincidence. And it's not a personal failing. It's a systems problem — and there are tools built specifically to...
Hi Reader What's taking up too much of your time? Last week I asked you to write down the one task in your practice week that you do manually, repeatedly, and kind of dread. A lot of you wrote back. Scheduling follow-ups. Chasing no-shows. Sending intake forms by hand. Re-explaining the same billing issue to the same insurance companies. The answers were different but the tone was almost identical across every reply: yeah, I know. I've known for a while. That's actually the more interesting...
