The Challenge

The Problem Hospitals Live With Every Day

Fax referrals remain a critical intake channel—but manual handling creates delays, rework, and limited visibility across intake, triage, and scheduling.

□

Administrative burden

Teams spend hours sorting, splitting, transcribing, and chasing missing information.

◫

Delays in triage & scheduling

Missing data and inconsistent referral forms create bottlenecks that slow patient access.

↺

Risk & compliance gaps

Manual processes make it harder to prove who accessed what, when, and what actions were taken.

From Fax to Workflow in Seconds

Automate referral ingestion, splitting, transcription, validation, triage routing, and scheduling—while keeping humans in control through side-by-side review and exception workflows.

Core workflow

Referrals are captured from fax (and other intake channels), automatically split into individual referrals, transcribed and validated, and routed into structured work queues for triage and scheduling.

Automatic splitting

Identify referral boundaries using OCR/IDP signals (keywords, forms, identifiers) with optional human confirmation.

Transcription + validation

Extract key fields and validate mandatory data. Trigger exception workflows for missing or invalid information.

Role-based work queues

Dynamic queues prioritize referrals by urgency and service line so teams can focus on what matters most.
