Referral-related intake
Capture the details needed to locate or follow up on a referral. The workflow does not claim a referral was received, accepted or authorized without confirmation.
A specialty appointment can involve a referral, a particular visit type and a team review. Give each caller an organized administrative path without treating every request as ready to book.
Fictional outbound eye-exam reminder based on a clinician-set plan. The patient asks why an exam matters with clear vision, what contact-lens fitting includes, and how dilation affects travel. Appointment types, fees, staff, and availability are invented examples.

Alder Brook Eye Care
Hello, I'm Voicesis, the AI assistant calling for Alder Brook Eye Care. Is this Helen Morris, and is now a good time?
Yes, this is Helen. I can talk.
Your eye doctor's plan shows your next exam is due. I can help you find an appointment.
I can see perfectly well. Why would I need an exam?
An eye exam checks eye health as well as vision, and some problems have no early symptoms. This reminder follows the interval your eye doctor set.
I might switch to contacts. Does the regular exam include that?
Contact-lens fitting is a separate service. We have a combined eye exam and fitting appointment if you'd like both.
What about driving afterward if they dilate my eyes?
Dilation can blur vision and make light uncomfortable for several hours. Arrange a ride home. When could someone bring you?
Friday afternoon. My son can drive. What's the price for the combined visit?
The listed self-pay fee is one hundred ninety dollars, excluding lenses. Friday at three is available for the sixty-minute combined visit.
That works. And I don't have to buy my contacts there?
No, you're free to buy elsewhere. Would you like me to book the combined exam and fitting for Friday at three?
Yes, please book it.
Your combined eye exam and contact-lens fitting are confirmed for Friday at three at Alder Brook Eye Care.
Should I bring my current glasses?
Yes, bring your glasses and insurance card if you're using insurance. And keep that ride home arranged.
I will. Thank you. That's all sorted.

Talk through your setupOnly when the agreed connected workflow provides a reliable status for the authorized request. Otherwise the assistant records the enquiry and sends it to the referral coordinator without claiming the referral has been received.
No. The assistant can use an approved administrative routing table, such as a requested department or existing provider. Clinical assessment, referral acceptance and suitability decisions remain with your qualified team.
Yes. Document the administrative information each request needs, which visits may use supported direct scheduling and which require review. Test exceptions with the staff responsible for those workflows.
It can relay approved general administrative instructions. Personalized instructions or questions about treatment, medicines, fasting or clinical preparation should be routed to the practice team.
