AI Receptionist for Clinics
Keep routine patient calls moving when staff are busy
A clinic AI receptionist answers routine inbound calls, shares clinic-approved administrative information, captures appointment requests, collects messages, and routes callers using defined rules. It supports the front desk without giving medical advice, and sends urgent, sensitive, or judgment-based questions to the clinic's approved human or emergency pathway.
Clinic Workflows
Configure the calls your front desk receives every day
Approved information
Answer questions about hours, location, services, preparation instructions, and office policies using approved content.
Messages and routing
Capture structured messages and transfer callers to the correct team or fallback path.
Responsible Boundaries
Administrative support, not clinical judgment
The receptionist should never diagnose, interpret symptoms, recommend treatment, or improvise medical guidance. Clinic-approved instructions define what it may say and when a call must be escalated.
Deployment review
Privacy and compliance require specific review
Vendor capabilities, data collection, recording, retention, integration access, consent, and applicable legal obligations must be reviewed for each clinic before deployment. Compatibility is not assumed.
Cliniko Workflows
How can an AI receptionist work with Cliniko?
An AI receptionist can collect the caller intent, confirm the clinic-approved details required for a booking, and then use a supported scheduling connection to check or request an appointment in Cliniko. Before launch, Sefinity verifies available access, appointment types, booking rules, privacy requirements, and the situations that must go to staff.
If a direct connection is not appropriate for the clinic, the receptionist can capture a structured appointment request for staff follow-up instead. Compatibility is confirmed during discovery and is never assumed.
Safe implementation
Approved data and clear escalation
The workflow should collect only the information needed for the approved task, avoid medical advice, and route urgent, sensitive, or uncertain calls to the clinic process.
