Frequently asked questions
Does AI First Doctors make clinical decisions?
No. Clinical judgment and care advice require licensed review; the system is framed as a clinic operations workflow.
Which clinic tasks are in scope?
The row names patient requests, intake, scheduling support, insurance capture, referrals, chart preparation, message templates, follow-up, and manager reporting.
Can it change an appointment on its own?
Scheduling changes require staff approval. The system can prepare an option, but the clinic keeps authority over the change.
Can it send patient messages automatically?
Outbound messages require staff approval under the stated safety boundary.
How are exceptions handled?
Requests that fail a rule check, involve uncertainty, or need clinical judgment should be escalated to staff with the known context preserved.
Does it connect to an EHR?
EHR or FHIR connections are listed as possible data integrations, but availability must be verified for the clinic and should use least-privilege access.
What should a clinic review in a demo?
Review one real request from intake through classification, approval, permitted system update, follow-up, and the manager record.
How is health information protected?
The stated requirements include protecting health data, logging actions, and limiting automation. Buyers should verify the actual privacy, retention, access, and security controls.
Does the system guarantee fewer dropped tasks?
No measured performance is supplied. The outcome is a product aim that should be tested against a documented clinic baseline.
Who remains accountable?
Clinic staff and licensed professionals remain responsible for approvals, clinical judgment, scheduling changes, and patient-facing messages.
