A full, reliable schedule: no-shows, reminders and recalls

An empty slot costs a clinic twice: the visit that didn't happen and the client who might have taken it. The articles in this topic are about keeping the schedule full and predictable. They cover how to measure your own no-show rate, when and how to send appointment reminders and confirmation requests, how to run routine recalls without phoning round, how two-way texting and WhatsApp fit in, and how a waitlist can fill a cancelled slot before the day starts. Begin with the complete guide to no-shows, reminders and recalls. Texting clients needs the right consent and an easy way to opt out, so each article points out where your own policies and counsel come in.
