Frequently Asked Questions
What is an AI medical receptionist?
An AI medical receptionist is software that answers patient calls, books and reschedules appointments, takes messages and handles routine requests, the way a front desk team does, but on every line at once and around the clock. ORA is HealthOrbit’s AI medical receptionist, built for UK healthcare.
How does ORA work as an AI receptionist for GP practices?
ORA provides AI call answering for GP practices: it handles the 8 to 11 am rush, books appointments by your rules, takes messages for the duty doctor, manages repeat prescriptions and blood tests, and signposts to NHS 111 — then logs everything to the record.
Does ORA replace my reception team?
No. ORA is an AI front desk receptionist that handles the routine and passes anything needing judgement to your team, with full context attached. It supports your reception; it doesn’t replace it.
Is ORA GDPR and NHS compliant?
Yes. Every call is processed and stored in the UK, ORA is GDPR compliant with a full audit trail, listed on the NHS England AVT Supplier Registry, and holds ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus.
Does ORA integrate with SystmOne and EMIS?
Yes. ORA integrates with SystmOne and EMIS, supports PAS integration for secondary care, and is fully configured before go-live with no new hardware required.
