Native integration with 80+ EHR systems to verify, coordinate, and execute in real time

RingCentral, Inc. (NYSE: RNG), a global leader in AI-powered business communications, today announced RingCentral AIR Pro^TM for Healthcare, a voice-first, omnichannel AI agent platform designed to automate high-volume patient access and administrative workflows across voice, SMS, video, and messaging. This is an industry-specific application of AIR Pro that delivers production-ready AI agents optimized for the unique operational and regulatory requirements of healthcare organizations.

Healthcare providers face mounting pressure to improve patient access, reduce administrative burden, and manage staffing shortages — all while maintaining compliance and delivering high-quality care. By bringing agentic AI directly into live patient conversations, AIR Pro for Healthcare is designed to help organizations meet those demands through intelligent autonomous action.

“Healthcare organizations manage millions of patient interactions every year, yet too much of that time is spent on scheduling, verification, and administrative coordination instead of patient care,” said Carson Hostetter, EVP & General Manager, AI and CX Solutions at RingCentral. “AIR Pro for Healthcare acts as an intelligent digital front door — handling calls, verifying coverage, scheduling appointments, updating records, and coordinating care seamlessly across channels. By automating routine interactions securely and reliably, it frees staff to focus on delivering more connected, human-centered care.”

“Our experience with RingCentral’s AI portfolio has already helped us expand capacity and improve responsiveness across our locations,” said Paul Knight, Chief Information Officer at PM Pediatrics, a U.S.-based pediatric urgent care provider with 80 locations. “We’ve seen a measurable impact in how we manage patient calls and engagement. With AIR Pro, we see the opportunity to extend that intelligence further — automating more of the patient journey and augmenting our teams so they can focus on delivering care.”

Healthcare Accelerators Provide Pre-Built Templates For Businesses

AIR Pro^TM for Healthcare includes configurable, healthcare-specific accelerators with pre-built skills that automate common patient interactions while preserving continuity of care and ensuring accurate information capture. For example, when a patient calls to reschedule an appointment, AIR Pro can verify identity, access scheduling systems, evaluate provider availability, set appointment priorities, and manage wait times, then recommend the best available options. Once confirmed, the agent updates the appointment in the system of record and sends an SMS confirmation — all within a single interaction. Pre-built skills include:

• Patient identity verification
• Intelligent call routing
• Appointment scheduling and rescheduling
• Patient check-in workflows
• Insurance verification
• Billing inquiries
• Patient intake and basic triage
• Contextual transfer to live agents with full interaction history

“Healthcare is one of the most complex and highly regulated industries, so AI that addresses these issues is in demand,” said Robin Gareiss, CEO & Principal Analyst at Metrigy Research. “When healthcare companies use AI, they see a 78% improvement in patient experience. When they use agentic workflow automation, 76% say they see improvements in problem resolution. Achieving these results requires deep integration with clinical systems, coupled with strong governance. By combining 80+ EHR integrations with pre-built, healthcare-specific skills, RingCentral is lowering the barrier to adoption of agentic AI, as healthcare CX leaders want to work with providers that understand their unique issues.”

Native Integration with Healthcare Systems

At launch, AIR Pro for Healthcare supports 80+ integrations with leading electronic health record (EHR) and healthcare management systems, including EPIC, Oracle Health (formerly Cerner), Athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, enabling AI agents to connect directly to scheduling, patient record, and billing systems. This allows agents to not only answer questions, but to take action — updating appointments, creating cases, and capturing structured intake information in real time.

Early pilot participants are testing AIR Pro for Healthcare to automate appointment management and common patient inquiries, enabling staff to focus on higher-value care coordination activities.

Built for Regulated Environments

AIR Pro for Healthcare is designed with compliance, governance, and transparency in mind. Capabilities include:

• HIPAA-ready architecture
• Secure identity verification workflows
• Role-based permissions and guardrails
• Full transcript history and conversational analytics
• Context preservation during transfer to live staff

By automating routine interactions while maintaining compliance standards, healthcare organizations can reduce missed calls, accelerate resolution times, and improve patient satisfaction without increasing headcount.
