The service behind it

Questions owners ask

Straight answers

What counts as a no-show?

Any booked slot the person did not attend and you could not fill: people who never arrive and same-day cancellations too late to rebook.

Do appointment reminders work?

Yes, on the best evidence available. A Cochrane review of seven studies with 5,841 people found that text message reminders raised attendance from 67.8% to 78.6% (Gurol-Urganci and others, 2013). Phone call reminders worked about as well, at a higher cost per attendance.

How do clinics reduce no-shows?

Common steps are a confirmation when the booking is made, a reminder the day before, a reminder a few hours before, and an easy way to reschedule from the reminder itself, so people who cannot come free the slot instead of skipping it.

Why do you ask me to estimate how many reminders prevent?

It varies by practice, patient mix and how reminders are sent, so the honest answer is your own estimate. Start low, send reminders for a month and compare your diary.
