This is the intake board we build over your EHR. Each card is a new patient moving from registration to a chart your providers can open. Switch from Manual to Automated and watch the backlog clear.

Patient Onboarding Case Study
Success stories that prove our expertise
A real rollout of intake, scheduling, and reminder automation across six clinics.
From 6,000 manual intake calls a month to a self-service workflow
Front-desk teams across six locations were spending most of each morning on intake calls, paper forms, and reminder calls, with no shared view of appointment status across clinics. Bitsclan mapped the onboarding journey at each location, then rolled out a single digital intake, scheduling, and reminder workflow synced to their existing EHR.

We cut our new-patient intake calls by more than half in the first month. The front desk finally has time to focus on the patients standing in front of them.

By the time a patient reaches my room, their history and paperwork are already in the chart. I spend the first few minutes of the visit on their symptoms instead of catching up on admin.

Insights
Patient Onboarding Insights
Guides, checklists, and industry trends on automating patient intake, scheduling, and consent for healthcare operations leaders.
Everything healthcare operations leaders ask before automating patient onboarding systems, timelines, KPIs, and security.
Patient onboarding automation replaces manual registration, intake forms, and scheduling coordination with connected digital workflows, so patients complete intake and consent before they arrive and staff no longer chase paperwork by hand.
Manual onboarding consumes front-desk hours, delays appointment starts, and creates friction that drives no-shows and patient drop-off. Automating it frees staff capacity, shortens time-to-first-appointment, and improves the patient's first impression of the practice.
Bitsclan builds onboarding automation that connects to common EHR/EMR platforms, practice management systems, calendar and scheduling tools, SMS and email providers, and e-signature and payment systems already in use at the clinic.
A focused first workflow, such as digital intake and consent, typically goes live in 2-3 weeks. A full onboarding automation program spanning intake, scheduling, reminders, and verification is rolled out in phases over 4-12 weeks.
Track average intake completion time, front-desk hours per patient, no-show and reschedule rate, patient satisfaction or NPS at intake, and percentage of registrations completed before arrival.
Yes. Bitsclan designs onboarding workflows with encrypted data handling, role-based access, and audit-ready logging, built around HIPAA-aligned practices for protected health information.
Most clinics get the fastest return by automating digital intake forms and appointment reminders first, since these directly cut front-desk call volume and no-shows before expanding to consent, verification, and follow-up.
Bitsclan audits the current onboarding journey, quantifies the cost of each manual step, and builds and integrates the automation, from intake through confirmed appointment, with the clinic's existing systems and staff workflow.
Primary care, dental, urgent care, specialty clinics, mental and behavioral health, physical therapy and rehab, telehealth providers, and multi-location healthcare groups. The onboarding steps differ by specialty, so the workflow is mapped to how your practice actually runs.
Engagements are fixed-scope rather than per-seat. A single workflow such as digital intake or reminders starts at $2,500, a full intake-to-confirmed-appointment build is $7,500, and multi-location rollouts are scoped to the group. Every engagement starts with a free automation audit.
Yes. We standardise one onboarding workflow and roll it out site by site, so each clinic runs the same process while leadership gets cross-location reporting. A recent six-clinic primary care group went fully live in eight weeks.
