Inbound-switcher onboarding from a rival program
A patient already weeks into treatment is signing up with you — the worst thing you can do is make them start from week one again.
What it does
A patient arriving from another provider, or off a compounded supply, is not a new start; they are mid-therapy and carry a dose history. Most intakes ignore that and run them through the same blank questionnaire as a first-timer, which both annoys an experienced patient and quietly creates a clinical risk — a gap in care, or a re-titration the clinician needed to see and did not. The agent captures the one thing a switcher actually has that a beginner does not: the last medication, the last dose, and the date it was taken. It flags any gap-in-care or re-titration need for the clinician and resumes therapy at the right point, so you win the switcher instead of restarting them from zero.
How it works
- 1Trigger. a switch-in intent — a sign-up that indicates prior medication use, or an intake answer that the patient has been on a weight-loss medication recently — opens the continuity capture instead of the standard first-timer path.
- 2Decision. the agent gathers last drug, last dose, and last-dose date in a short conversational exchange, recognises whether the gap since the last dose implies a re-titration, and assembles a clean continuity packet; it never decides the resumed dose itself — that is the clinician's call. Every unprompted message passes a quality judge first.
- 3Action. a chat, in-app, or email conversation confirms the captured history back to the patient in plain language, tells them the care team will set the safe resume point, and hands the structured packet — last drug, dose, date, gap-in-care flag — to the clinician for the dosing decision.
- 4Follow-through. the continuity packet and any gap-in-care flag write back to the clinical record; the clinician's decision drives the resume and any follow-up booking; if the gap or the history raises a safety question, it routes to a clinician before therapy resumes, and conversion of switch-ins is measured against a holdout.
Configuration
How the agent is wired for this use case.
switch_in_intent behavioural signal at sign-up, or a prior_medication_used system flag from the intake indicating recent weight-loss-medication use.- Clinical/EHR system · write the captured last-drug / last-dose / last-date history and the gap-in-care flag to the record for the clinician.
- App backend · read the sign-up / intake context that marks this as a switch-in rather than a first start.
- Knowledge base · run the approved continuity-capture sequence and explain in plain language why the care team sets the resume point.
- Scheduling system · book the clinician follow-up that the resume decision requires.
- Messaging channel · confirm the captured history back to the patient and route the packet onward.
What you need
The inputs this use case runs on. Your channels stay yours; the agent supplies the judgment.
Signals
a switch-in intent at sign-up and any intake flag of recent medication use; a completion event when the continuity packet is captured.
Data
last drug, last dose, and last-dose date; the gap-since-last-dose; the clinician-defined rules for what gap implies a re-titration review; consent and notification preferences.
Guardrails
the agent captures and flags but never decides a resumed dose or gives medical advice; the dosing decision and any re-titration are the clinician's, behind a mandatory escalation; judge gating, frequency caps, and holdout measurement on every unprompted message.
Metrics it moves
- conversion-rateup, by winning the experienced switcher with a resume instead of a restart that sends them elsewhere.
- intake-completionup, a short history capture beats a full blank questionnaire for a mid-therapy patient.
- activation-rateup, the switcher reaches their first dose with you faster and at the right point.
- churndown, a clean continuity hand-off avoids the gap-in-care that loses a patient early.
