Radiology Scheduling Automation for Clinicians
Let your AI agent take over the back-and-forth of imaging coordination, so you can focus on diagnostics and patient care instead of endless admin.
You spend hours each week emailing radiology, updating Excel trackers, and calling other departments just to confirm imaging slots. As a clinician, your time gets eaten up chasing details, clarifying orders, and keeping everyone in the loop. Important cases get delayed and errors slip in while you’re stuck managing logistics instead of reading scans.
An AI agent that automates radiology appointment coordination, order clarification, and status updates for clinicians using email, Excel, and EMRs.
What this replaces
The hidden cost
What this is really costing you
In hospitals and clinics, clinicians and care coordinators waste hours every week juggling Outlook, Epic, and Excel just to align radiology appointments with surgery schedules, clarify incomplete orders, and notify referring physicians. The manual process means endless emails, missed messages, and duplicated effort. Imaging requests stall, and you’re left tracking updates across multiple systems instead of focusing on diagnostics.

If you keep ignoring it

AI Agent FAQ
The agent works with data you provide from systems like Epic or Cerner. It does not directly access your EMR or RIS, but can process exported schedules, orders, and notes you upload.
Your agent prepares draft emails and notifications for you to review and send via Outlook or Teams. It does not send communications automatically, ensuring you control all outbound messages.
All data is handled within your existing environment. The agent processes files locally and does not transmit PHI outside your network. Data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.3 and deleted after processing.
Yes, when you flag a request as urgent, the agent prioritizes coordination and prepares immediate notifications for the relevant teams. It does not monitor for urgent tasks automatically; you must initiate the request.
