Surgical Clearance Automation

Pre-Populated Clearance Requests with 48-Hour Turnaround

Dentist schedules a procedure; the PCP gets a pre-filled clearance packet.

Clearance Automation pre-populates a medical clearance request when a dental procedure requires it (extractions, implants, oral surgery, perio surgery, anesthesia with epinephrine, bleeding procedures). The packet includes the procedure, risk flags (anticoagulant, bisphosphonate, immunosuppressant, cardiac prophylaxis, diabetes, hypertension), medications reviewed, lab values, and vital signs;then routes to the correct physician with a 48-hour urgent SLA.

Key Features

Pre-Populated Packet
Auto-filled

Procedure type, risk flags, medications reviewed, recent labs, and vital signs are auto-assembled into a clearance request document.

6 Risk Flag Categories
6 flag types

Anticoagulant, bisphosphonate, immunosuppressant, cardiac prophylaxis, diabetes, hypertension; each with severity and action required.

Urgent vs Routine SLA
48-hour urgent

Routine clearance routes with a 5-business-day SLA; urgent clearance routes with a 48-hour SLA and appointment-block flag.

Dentist Override Path
Override auditable

Dentist can override a not-cleared response with documented clinical justification; override reason is retained for audit.

How It Works

STEP 01

Procedure Scheduled

Dentist schedules a procedure flagged as clearance-requiring; engine evaluates against the patient's medical context.

STEP 02

Risk Flags Computed

Medications, recent labs, and vital signs are reviewed and 6 categories of risk flags are computed with severity and action required.

STEP 03

Request Routed to Physician

Pre-populated clearance request packet is routed to the correct physician (PCP, cardiologist, endocrinologist) with the clinical question.

STEP 04

Response or Override

Physician responds with clearance, clearance with modifications, or not cleared. Dentist override is available with documented justification.

Success Story

“Our oral surgery clearance turnaround dropped from two weeks to under three days. The pre-filled packet means the PCP reviews instead of building from scratch.”
