GI Referral Intake Automation
Endoscopy referrals, lab results, and colonoscopy screening requests — intelligently sorted and scheduled.
The challenge
Why Gastroenterology clinics struggle with referral intake
High-volume colonoscopy screening referrals overwhelm staff alongside urgent GI cases
Lab results (H. pylori, celiac panels, liver function) arrive separately from referral notes
Procedure scheduling requires verified insurance and prep instructions — a multi-step process
Referring providers don't get timely feedback on referral status
The solution
IntakeDesk for Gastroenterology
Rules engine separates screening colonoscopies from urgent symptomatic GI referrals
OCR matches incoming lab results to existing referral cases automatically
Insurance eligibility checks confirm procedure coverage before scheduling
Automated SMS sends colonoscopy prep instructions after scheduling confirmation
