Clinics and school administration
Physiotherapy: make the first enquiry useful
A new patient should find practical clinic information and request contact without describing their medical history in open chat. Establish whether they want a first appointment, help with an existing visit or a general answer. Reception needs to see the requested next step.
Understand the task
Start with questions reception actually repeats: location, access, contact details and how to request an initial consultation. The clinic’s current guidance determines the answer. Referral requirements, reimbursement and treatment selection must not be inferred from a short message or general model knowledge.
Prepare these inputs
- Approved description of the first consultation and contact options.
- Practical information with a date, owner and exceptions.
- Only necessary contact fields; no medical records in the trial.
A practical workflow
- Show the practical answer with a link to the clinic’s guidance. Ask another question only when a contact request lacks a necessary field.
- Prepare a short reception note: new or existing contact, requested service and preferred contact method. Keep unknown status unknown.
- Let reception handle professional questions and confirm a time. A received request must never appear as a booked consultation.
Worked example, not a customer case
An illustrative example
Illustrative example: a visitor asks whether the clinic accepts new patients and has step-free access. The answer uses two approved facts. They then request a callback. The note records the request without assuming a diagnosis, practitioner or reimbursement entitlement.
Test failures and exceptions
| Test input | Expected outcome |
|---|---|
| The visitor describes symptoms rather than a practical task. | Do not assess symptoms; use the clinic’s approved professional contact route. |
| The clinic’s guidance says nothing about new patients. | Say reception must confirm; do not invent availability. |
Evaluate whether it helps
Count usable contact requests and additional questions reception still needs to ask. Compare against the previous process and include review time. More messages alone do not establish improvement.
Next step: Create a reception card for one first-time enquiry before expanding into appointments and other patient journeys.
