Allied health professionals didnโt choose their careers to spend their days chasing missed appointments, juggling bookings, or filling out endless forms. But for many physios, chiros, osteos, and podiatrists โ thatโs the reality behind the scenes of patient care.
Whether you run a solo practice or manage a multi-clinician clinic, chances are your time is being eaten up by manual admin, clunky systems, and repetitive tasks that could be automated.
At Next Layer, we help Allied Health practices integrate AI and workflow automation that lightens the load โ without changing how you work or overcomplicating your tech stack.
๐ Common Pain Points We See in Allied Health Clinics
- Reception staff overloaded with calls, follow-ups, and rescheduling
- No-show clients affecting income and availability
- Paper-based or disconnected intake processes leading to double handling
- Manual invoicing and compliance logs chewing up after-hours time
- Poor client retention post-treatment plan
- Lack of clear insights into practice performance or bottlenecks
๐ง Hereโs How We Fix It โ Without Disrupting Your Workflow
We donโt just throw in AI and hope for the best. We assess your systems, understand how your team works, and deploy simple, human-friendly tech that saves time and supports client care.
๐ 1. Phone & Appointment Handling With AI Voice Agents
Using tools like Ultravox + ElevenLabs, we set up a virtual receptionist that:
- Answers calls instantly โ even during busy hours or after hours
- Books and reschedules appointments directly into your existing system
- Handles common questions (fees, directions, practitioner availability)
Integrates with: Cliniko, Nookal, PowerDiary, CorePlus
Result: No missed calls. More bookings. Less stress at the front desk.
๐ 2. Automated Reminders & Scheduling
We integrate SMS and email reminders using your current practice software or marketing tools like Mailchimp or ActiveCampaign, including:
- Pre-appointment confirmations
- Late cancellation and rescheduling flows
- Reactivation messages for patients who fall off the radar
Result: Fewer no-shows. Better attendance. Full calendars.
๐ 3. Digital Intake Forms & Pre-Session Data Collection
Stop handing out clipboards. We digitise your intake forms using Jotform, Typeform, or embedded forms linked to your PMS. Capture:
- Client consent
- Health history
- Medicare/private info
Result: Faster onboarding. Fewer errors. Paperless efficiency.
๐ 4. Automated Client Retention Workflows
We build smart follow-up sequences that re-engage clients post-treatment using tools like:
- Zapier + Mailchimp for email nurturing
- SMS check-ins after discharge
- Upsell flows for maintenance or preventative care
Result: More returning clients. Stronger word-of-mouth. Higher lifetime value.
๐ผ 5. Admin & Compliance Automation
We automate the admin tasks that chew up your evenings:
- Auto-invoicing with Xero or Stripe
- SOAP note reminders & session summaries
- Progress tracking dashboards for treatment plans
Result: Fewer late nights. More time to focus on clinical care.
๐ 6. Dashboards That Show You Whatโs Working
We create simple, visual dashboards using Looker Studio or Power BI that give you:
- Practitioner utilisation
- No-show rates
- Return visit stats
- Revenue per client
- Marketing performance
Result: Make decisions based on data โ not gut feeling.
