A managed front desk
Answer and route calls, organize shared inboxes and portal messages, and keep a clear record of requests needing a practice decision.

From the first enquiry to the next appointment, Birch Hands helps keep routine work moving without losing the human touch. We shape the role around your practice’s queue, calendars, and approved systems.
Discuss this serviceThese are examples to shape a role around your practice, not a promise to act outside your systems or approvals.
Answer and route calls, organize shared inboxes and portal messages, and keep a clear record of requests needing a practice decision.
Schedule and reschedule visits, manage reminders, waitlists, cancellation openings, and provider calendar changes under your booking rules.
Track forms, registration details, referral status, and missing information so your team knows what still needs attention before a visit.
Prepare approved correspondence, meeting notes, action lists, and routine follow-ups with named owners and escalation points.
Coverage, responsibilities, and terms are agreed with your practice, not pulled from a fixed package.
Identify channels, coverage windows, priority rules, scripts, and the staff member who handles exceptions.
Use practice-approved accounts and templates. Any patient-data access requires the right training, signed agreement, and permission review first.
A shared handoff and regular check-ins keep open requests, missed contacts, and calendar changes visible.
Urgent symptoms, triage, and clinical decisions stay with your licensed care team. For US patient information, HIPAA training and a signed Business Associate Agreement precede access; approved logins and offshore restrictions are reviewed before work begins.
Choose “Front desk & patient access” when you reach the consultation form. Please don’t share patient information.
