Automate Family Meeting Scheduling in Healthcare

Let your AI agent handle family outreach, reminders, and compliance records—so you can spend more time on patient care and less on admin.

You’re a care coordinator or nurse manager juggling endless family emails in Outlook, updating shared Excel trackers, and chasing replies by phone. Each week, you waste hours piecing together schedules and logging every message for compliance. The admin never ends, and it’s keeping you from your clinical priorities.

An AI agent that arranges, tracks, and documents family meetings for care teams, handling outreach and follow-up so clinicians can focus on patients.

What this replaces

Draft individual outreach emails in Outlook for each family member
Track response status in Excel or Google Sheets
Send manual reminders to unresponsive relatives using Gmail
Coordinate meeting times with back-and-forth email chains
Log every communication attempt in Epic or Cerner for compliance

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In hospitals and skilled nursing facilities, care coordinators and social workers lose valuable time organizing family conferences. The process involves drafting messages in Outlook, tracking responses in Excel, and manually updating Epic or Cerner records. This repetitive admin work piles up, causing delays in care planning and risking incomplete documentation for audits.
