How Always Keep Progressing cut Onboarding Time by 90% with Solum Health

Solum slashes AKP intake to hours. AI automates calls, faxes, insurance. Team saves 528 hours; families benefit.

About the Provider

Always Keep Progressing (AKP) is a pediatric therapy clinic in Miami, FL, supporting children with developmental needs. They deliver speech, occupational, music, art, language, and teletherapy services focused on helping families thrive.

The Challenge

AKP’s intake team was overwhelmed by a constant stream of referrals coming in via fax, phone, and email. Manual workflows slowed everything down—insurance checks, data collection, and scheduling were taking days.

“Referrals were stacking up. Even our best staff couldn’t keep up.”
— Martin, AKP

The Solution

Solum Health deployed a fully automated intake system in under 2 weeks, with zero disruption to AKP’s EHR or workflows:

  •  AI Voice Agent “Annie” handled 6,335 inbound calls—collecting patient info, triaging requests, and reducing the need for manual intake by 75%.

  •  Fax & Email Automation extracted referral details and flagged missing documentation, eliminating hours of manual review.

  •  Instant Insurance Verification replaced monthly batch processing, cutting approval turnaround from 4–6 days to 1–2 hours.

  •  Smart Task Management prioritized incomplete or urgent referrals, enabling faster follow-ups and reducing patient drop-off.

  •  Onboarding Time Reduced: Intake completion times dropped from 4–6 days to just 1–2 hours—a 90 %+ improvement.

“We had 20–30% of patients falling through the cracks. Now, nothing slips.”
— Martin Ayala

“Solum didn’t just optimize our workflows—it empowered our team to support families better.”
— Martin, AKP

What’s Next

AKP is now expanding Solum’s role to optimize intake and operations further:

  • Real-time document readiness tracking to prevent delays

  • Live bilingual agent support (English & Spanish) across all services

  • Unified triage across ABA, OT, and Speech teams to reduce friction and handoffs
