AI agent for receptionists
Healthcare Interpreter Scheduling Agent
Every appointment with a language need has a confirmed interpreter.
What it does
Interpreter needs get lost when appointments change. When an appointment has a documented language need, this agent finds interpreters who match the language, the appointment time and any constraints such as in-person or video. It places an internal hold. It watches for changes: if the appointment moves or the interpreter's availability changes, it checks whether the hold still overlaps. If not, it releases the hold and selects another interpreter. The coordinator confirms the booking. Patient communications and clinical decisions stay with staff. Edge case: no interpreter for a rare dialect is free that day, so the agent tells the coordinator in time to arrange a phone interpreter.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
