What HealOS does in Hint

AI Frontdesk

What the AI Frontdesk (AI Receptionist) can do in Hint during a call:

Task	Available
Find the caller’s chart	Yes
Register a new patient	Yes

Connect it from AI Frontdesk → Integrations → Connect an EHR (Connect your EHR).

AI Scribe

AI Scribe notes cannot be sent to Hint yet; copy the note from HealOS.

Connection

Method: Official API (API credentials). How the methods compare. You provide

Your Hint practice API key, in AI Frontdesk → Integrations → Connect an EHR.

HealOS does

Uses Hint’s official API with the key, stored encrypted.

Limits

Hint’s API has no booking or note endpoints, so HealOS can find and register patients only.

Yes: works once the practice connects the EHR (or, for the Chrome extension, installs it).
On request: built; HealOS turns it on for a practice after a review with them.
Specific setups: built for particular practice configurations; ask us before relying on it.

A Yes means the workflow exists, not that every practice’s setup allows it: practice settings, user permissions and the EHR plan can still limit it, so confirm during onboarding.

API actions

This is a catalog of what HealOS can do in each EHR. Running these actions through the HealOS API is coming later. Listing them (GET /ehr/actions) and checking which EHRs your organization has connected (GET /ehr/connections), with the ehr:read scope, are rolling out: they work on staging but are not yet available on api.healos.ai. Every action runs against the practice’s live EHR, never a sandbox.

HealOS supports 2 actions in Hint. Action names (hint.<action>) are stable.
