AI for healthcare, grounded in your own clinical notes and protocols.

Give clinicians their day back — with a human on every note.
In one line

AI for healthcare is grounded, auditable software that RMAI builds on your own clinical notes, payer rules, and patient correspondence — so visit notes, prior-authorisation packets, message triage, and referral intake are drafted, sorted, and cited in minutes, with a clinician signing off every record.

01The situation

What actually slows a healthcare practice down.

The biggest constraints in a mid-sized practice are not clinical — they are operational: documentation that spills into the evening, prior authorisation, an overflowing patient inbox, and referrals that vanish between systems. Each one is a documents-and-data problem carrying real compliance weight, which is exactly where grounded AI pays back.

~1/3of the day

Clinicians spend a third of the day being clerks

Documentation, inbox, coding queries and prior-auth forms eat roughly a third of the working day, then spill into after-hours 'pyjama time'. The bottleneck is not clinical judgement — it is the senior clinician's attention, lost to typing and re-keying.

· Nuance/Ignetica NHS documentation survey (966 NHS staff), 2022
13hrs/wk

Prior authorisation is a clinical bottleneck, not just admin

Practices spend about 13 hours per physician per week on prior authorisations, and 95% of physicians say the process delays patient care. Each request is a repeated, rules-shaped chase across payer portals, phone and fax — exactly the work that steals billable clinical time.

· AMA Prior Authorization Survey, 2024
+24% inbox time

The patient inbox has become a shadow clinic

Portal and secure-message volume keeps climbing — primary-care inbox time rose about 24% over three years (2019–2023) — and most of it lands on clinicians directly. Without triage logic, urgent messages queue behind routine ones and response times slip.

· Annals of Family Medicine, More Tethered to the EHR, 2024 (academic primary care, 2019–2023)
14% lost

Referrals fall into black holes between organisations

Around 14% of referrals are delayed, lost, rejected or never processed, and only 7% of people who hit a referral problem were satisfied. Fax, email and PDF intake with no closed-loop tracking means patients chase updates while staff manually re-key every handoff.

02The value

What changes once the work is grounded in your own records.

Practices working with RMAI recover clinical hours and tighten the audit trail at the same time. The outcomes below are illustrative of shipped patterns; every one keeps a clinician on the final call — nothing writes to the record or reaches a patient on its own.

20–40%
Documentation time returned to care
Ambient draft in the room, clinician reviews and signs every note. Illustrative of shipped scribe patterns; the independent multi-site floor is ~16 min per 8-hour day (JAMA, 2026), with vendors claiming more — treat that as best case.
< 5min
Prior-auth packet drafted, not hand-built
Down from ~30 minutes of portal-hopping. Payer criteria are extracted from the chart and mapped with citations; the clinician approves before anything is submitted. Electronic PA saves about 14 minutes per authorisation.
~5hrs
Urgent messages read same-day, not next-day
Time-to-first-read on high-acuity patient messages fell from ~22 hours to ~5 hours with AI topic classification at SCPMG (JAMA Network Open, 2026). Staff handle the genuine exceptions; the routine flood is sorted and drafted for review.
03FAQs

The questions leaders ask first.

The questions below are the ones RMAI hears in the first call — on safety, staffing, compliance, cost, and feasibility.

It will sometimes — so RMAI scopes it to drafting, extraction and first-pass review, never silent finalisation. Ambient scribes show roughly a 1–3% error rate with distinct failure modes — hallucination, omission, misattribution (npj Digital Medicine, 2025). The non-negotiable control is that a clinician reviews and signs every note, code and packet. The AI drafts; the human stays accountable.
No — and it should not be sold that way. What gets automated is the drudgery: note-drafting, prior-auth assembly, message triage, referral re-keying — not the clinical judgement. The honest framing is capacity gained: the same team handles more care, or finally goes home on time. Australian SME data shows more AI-using businesses grew employment than cut it. A clinician signs off every record.
Yes, with conditions. AHPRA’s August 2024 guidance permits AI that assists when a clinician reviews and approves the output, and requires patient consent, transparency and retained professional accountability. RMAI builds inside your own tenancy with Australian data residency; your data is not used to train public models. Note that a tool generating diagnoses can cross into ‘medical device’ territory under the TGA — we check regulatory status before any build.
Usually no. Most practical wins come from a workflow layer around your existing stack — intake parsing, message routing, document drafting, status syncing, and cited retrieval over approved sources. RMAI tools are EHR-agnostic and read and write through standard APIs. The one caveat: if a core system cannot expose its data or events at all, some use cases will stall — which is exactly what the working session checks first.
RMAI always starts with a fixed-price AI working session ($4,500, credited against the build) that tells you whether the pattern fits before any build. A focused build typically ships in 3–6 weeks in the $10k–$60k AUD band — not a 12–18 month enterprise rollout. Most of the work is already done: these tools are skins of patterns RMAI has shipped before, so a smaller practice pays for the bespoke ~30%, not a platform.

05Applications

What RMAI has built for this sector.

The applications below are grounded, human-in-the-loop tools RMAI has built or scoped for this sector — illustrative of the patterns we ship.

Denial Appeal Drafter

Reads the denial reason code and the chart, drafts an evidence-based appeal letter citing the relevant payer rule, and lists the documentation gaps that weaken the case.

build est. · 4 weeks

MBS Coding Assistant

Dramatised MBS Coding Assistant demo for healthcare (fake data) — shows the pattern; a person approves each output.

06Prompts

Prompts you can use today, for free.

Sector-specific prompts RMAI uses as starting points. Copy one, run it against your own documents in any assistant, and see the shape of the answer before you talk to us.

Visit-note draft
Convert this consultation transcript into a concise draft note using the template below. Preserve uncertainty, do not invent exam findings or normal results that were not discussed, and clearly mark any unresolved item with [VERIFY] for clinician confirmation. Output for human review only — do not write to the record.
Prior-auth packet
Map this patient's clinical record against the payer's prior-authorisation criteria below. For each criterion, extract the exact evidence, dates and measurements, with an inline citation to the note it came from. List anything unmet under a 'Missing Documentation Gap' heading at the top. Do not infer evidence that is not in the record.
Message triage
Classify this patient message into exactly one of the categories below. Then return: an urgency score, a routing recommendation, and a short draft reply for staff review. If the message suggests symptoms needing immediate care, return an escalation flag only and no reply draft.
Referral check
Review this referral against the checklist below. Return: missing mandatory fields, clinical red flags, insurer/admin gaps, a suggested urgency level, and a patient-safe acknowledgement draft. Do not infer missing facts — leave a field blank and flag it rather than guessing.

What a defensible result looks like.

These are published, third-party results in healthcare operators — illustrative of the target RMAI builds toward, with a clinician in the loop throughout. They are not RMAI client claims. The strongest independent evidence is enterprise-scale; SME-scale figures are vendor-reported and more modest.
