A single empty chair in a bright, bare room.

Thirteen jobs that slip through every week, and what happens to them instead.

Medbli goes the other way. Nobody operates it. It does the job from start to finish and only hands over the parts that need a person.

At the front desk

  1. Job 01

    The phones

    Today

    At 9am the queue is full and patients give up. Messages end up on sticky notes around the monitor.

    With Medbli

    Every call is answered, at any hour. Bookings and changes are handled, and anything clinical goes to your team.

  2. Job 02

    Recalls

    Today

    A letter goes out saying you're due, and it ends up on the fridge or in the recycling.

    With Medbli

    The patient is contacted at the right time by text or phone, and followed up until they're booked or the clinic says stop.

  3. Job 03

    No-shows

    Today

    The chair sits empty, and by the time anyone thinks to ring, the patient has drifted off for another year.

    With Medbli

    A same-day check-in and an easy rebook. If they can't be reached, the clinic is told.

  4. Job 04

    The waitlist

    Today

    Someone cancels at 8am and the spot goes to waste.

    With Medbli

    The freed spot is offered to the waitlist straight away and filled.

  5. Job 05

    Intake

    Today

    New patients fill in a form on a clipboard with a pen that doesn't work, and staff type it all in later.

    With Medbli

    Forms go out before the visit, get completed by text or over the phone, and are entered before the patient arrives.

Between the clinic and everyone else

  1. Job 06

    Referrals out

    Today

    The referral gets faxed or emailed, and from then on nobody knows if it was booked.

    With Medbli

    It's tracked until the specialist books the patient. If it stalls it gets chased, and the GP is told.

  2. Job 07

    Letters in

    Today

    Specialist letters and reports arrive by fax and email and wait their turn to be scanned.

    With Medbli

    Every letter is read and filed against the right patient, then put in front of the doctor who needs to see it.

  3. Job 08

    Chasing other providers

    Today

    Staff ring the hospital or the lab again and again about a missing report.

    With Medbli

    It makes the calls and sends the emails until the report arrives.

  4. Job 09

    Results follow-up

    Today

    “No news is good news,” which is fine right up until it isn't.

    With Medbli

    Every result is tracked until the doctor has seen it and the patient has been contacted as the doctor directs.

  5. Job 10

    Care plans and Medicare paperwork

    Today

    Review dates get missed and the paperwork is rebuilt by hand each time.

    With Medbli

    Review dates are tracked and patients booked in, with the paperwork prepared for the doctor to check and sign. The doctor decides, and stays responsible for every claim.

A pile of opened letters and envelopes.

It reads every message and letter, deals with what it can, and puts only the rest in front of your team.

Overnight, and the first week home

  1. Job 11

    Forms

    Today

    Insurance, WorkCover, NDIS and referral forms pile up for after-hours.

    With Medbli

    The details are pre-filled from what's already on file, ready for the clinician to check and sign.

  2. Job 12

    After-hours messages

    Today

    The inbox fills overnight and someone digs through it with their first coffee.

    With Medbli

    Every message is answered and sorted by morning and the admin is done. Anything about health goes to the clinical team, and every reply points to 000 or after-hours care for anything urgent.

  3. Job 13

    After the visit, and after hospital

    Today

    “Call us if anything's wrong.” An older patient goes home from hospital with changed medicines, and nobody checks.

    With Medbli

    A check-in a few days later, with any reply about health going straight to a clinician. After hospital, a pharmacist's home medicines check gets set up and followed through.

A clinician decided every one of these. Medbli's job is making sure they happen.

The sharpest example, after hospital
A city skyline at night, half lost in fog.

Works through the night and over the long weekend.

You decide what should happen. Medbli makes sure it does.

  1. Say what should happen.

    Something like “every patient due a skin check gets booked,” or “every referral comes back with a letter.” That's the whole instruction.

  2. It does the work.

    The calls and forms, and all the chasing that used to eat an afternoon, get done around the systems your clinic already uses, including at 2am.

  3. A person decides when it matters.

    Anything clinical, unusual or uncertain goes to the right person on your team with everything they need on one page. They decide, and it carries the decision out.

  4. Every step is recorded.

    You can see what was done and who decided it.

What it will never do: diagnose, give medical advice, assess symptoms, recommend a medicine or answer a clinical question. Those go to a clinician, every time. And it's always upfront with patients that they're talking to Medbli's automated assistant.

The decision happens in the consult room. Everything after it is our job.
