Set the moment and purpose.
Choose the timing, patients, and approved check-in questions with your team. Keep the reason for the conversation clear to the patient.
Post-op follow-up
More follow-ups. Less staff time.
Put planned check-ins and feedback capture into a defined workflow. Keep staff focused on the patients and responses that need a person.

The work behind the moment
A thoughtful check-in has a next step.
After surgery, a patient may need to hear an instruction again or ask for a callback. Design the follow-up around your center’s language and escalation rules, so the conversation leads back to the right people when it needs to.
A workflow with a next step
From a question
to a clear handoff.
Give patients room to respond.
Gather the feedback and questions your workflow is intended to capture. Define how the conversation handles a request for clinical guidance.
Close with a clear route back.
Specify the callback, escalation, and urgent-contact instructions. A question that needs a clinician should reach a clinician through the agreed process.
Your care team defines what happens next.
Your team
Your clinicians own post-op instructions, triage, medical advice, and urgent-care guidance.
Incerto
The support workflow helps with the planned check-in and captures the information your team has asked for.
Make it fit your center
Start with one
well-defined workflow.
Bring the part of the day you want to improve. We will walk through the conversation, the boundaries, and the next step together.
A useful conversation starts here
- When patients should hear from you
- Approved questions and instructions
- Your callback and urgent-contact process
A few practical questions
The details
matter.
Can this give patients medical advice?
Medical advice and triage belong with your care team. The workflow should use approved content and a clearly defined route to a clinician.
Can we include feedback questions?
Feedback capture can be part of the workflow discussion. We review the questions, the format your team needs, and what should trigger follow-up.
What should we bring to a follow-up walkthrough?
Your current check-in questions, approved instructions, and callback process are a useful starting point. Together, we can define what the conversation gathers and how your team receives the next step.
The scenario on this page is illustrative. A follow-up call does not diagnose a problem or establish that a patient is recovering safely. Your center defines the clinical review and urgent-contact process.
