First-visit prep, done before arrival.
Your nurses keep clinical judgment. The records chasing, eligibility checks, and chart reconciliation are done before the patient walks in.
A new patient enters your system.
Pulled from your scheduling form, referral fax, or call summary the moment it arrives. Name, DOB, contact, reason for visit, referring provider. Structured before anyone picks it up.

Coverage is verified, not inferred.
A real 270 eligibility request goes to the payer through a clearinghouse. The 271 response comes back with active coverage, copay, deductible, and prior-auth requirements. We never read a card photo and guess.

Records pulled from every prior provider.
From the patient's stated history and the referral, we fan out signed release requests to prior providers. Each request is logged with a HIPAA-compliant authorization on file. No fishing expeditions.
[Prior PCP] · primary care
Release sent via secure portal. Records returned: 5-year visit summary, problem list, current meds.
[Prior specialist] · endocrinology
Release sent via direct messaging. Records returned: A1c trend, last 3 visit notes, lab panel.
[Imaging center] · radiology
Release sent via fax with signed authorization. Report and DICOM links returned.
[Out-of-state clinic] · urgent care
Release sent. Awaiting response. Flagged for nurse review if not returned 48 hours before visit.
One chart, not four PDFs.
Duplicates merged. Conflicts surfaced. Medications, problems, allergies, and history collapsed into a single timeline the provider can actually read. This is the work nurses do on the phone the day before a first visit, only it's already done.

The judgment layer your nurses already do.
What would a nurse flag during phone prep the day before a first visit? Active concerns, recent changes, gaps in care, things the provider needs to know in the first three minutes. That's the layer that runs here.

A one-page brief writes itself.
What the provider needs in the first three minutes. Active concerns, what to confirm, suggested orders to consider. Everything cites the source record.
