AI Patient Intake for Allied Health
Transforming Patient Intake with AI Automation
A Growing Allied Health Provider’s Journey to Faster Onboarding, Smarter Triage & Better Patient Experience
About the Client
A multi disciplinary allied health provider offering physiotherapy, psychology, occupational therapy, and dietetics. With hundreds of new patient enquiries each month, their manual intake process was slowing everything down.
Key Challenges:
- Manual form processing
- Long wait times for new patients
- Difficulty matching patients to the right practitioner
- High admin workload
- Inconsistent triage
- Delays in treatment planning
The Clinical Coordinator described the situation clearly:
“We were spending more time processing forms than treating patients.”
The organisation needed a modern, automated intake system that could scale with demand.
The Challenges
The Problem: Manual Intake Was Delaying Patient Care
New patients filled out paper or PDF forms that staff had to:
- Download
- Read manually
- Enter into the system
- Categorise
- Assign to a practitioner
- Follow up for missing information
This caused:
- Delayed appointments
- Incorrect practitioner allocation
- Overloaded admin staff
- Frustrated patients
- Lost revenue from slow onboarding
The leadership team wanted a solution that would:
- Automate intake
- Improve triage accuracy
- Reduce admin workload
- Speed up patient onboarding
- Improve patient experience
They partnered with Aus NewTechs to build an AI powered intake and triage system.
Our Solutions
How Aus NewTechs Built an AI Driven Patient Intake & Triage System
Digital AI Powered Intake Form
We replaced paper/PDF forms with a secure online intake form that:
- Collects patient details
- Identifies symptoms
- Flags urgent cases
- Detects missing information
- Syncs with the clinic’s system
Patients can now complete intake from any device.
AI Triage Engine
The AI analyses patient responses and categorises them into the correct discipline:
- Musculoskeletal → Physiotherapy
- Mental health → Psychology
- Sensory or developmental → Occupational Therapy
- Nutrition → Dietetics
This ensures patients are matched with the right practitioner from day one.
Automated Practitioner Allocation
The system automatically assigns patients based on:
- Practitioner availability
- Specialisation
- Clinic location
- Urgency level
This eliminates manual decision making and reduces errors.
AWS Powered Secure Patient Workflow System
We deployed a secure cloud environment that:
- Stores intake data
- Tracks patient onboarding
- Provides real time dashboards
- Ensures compliance and data protection
Everything is encrypted and healthcare ready.
Automated Follow Up & Reminders
The system sends:
- Appointment confirmations
- Pre visit instructions
- Missing information requests
- Follow up reminders
