Bookings & calendar
Book procedures, reviews and recall reminders
Reminders can run automatically from the care plan.

Phone & voice
Call a patient with a difficult result or about a needed operation
This should come from the ophthalmologist, with time to answer questions.
Documents
Write clinical notes after each consultation or procedure
An agent can draft notes from dictation. The ophthalmologist must confirm them, because they are legal records.
Example agents: Grok Bot, Claude, Microsoft Copilot
Write referral letters, operation notes and aftercare information
An agent can draft from the file. The ophthalmologist reviews before they go.
Send history, consent and pre-operative forms before a first visit or a procedure
Forms can go out with the booking and be filed when signed.
Prepare health fund or Medicare item claims from the visit record
Item codes can be suggested from the record and checked at billing.
Research
Check current guidance on a condition, drug or procedure
An agent can find and summarise guidelines. Clinical decisions stay with the ophthalmologist.

Customer chat
