Healthcare Scheduling

Phone-based scheduling caused 30% no-show rate and 4+ hours daily of staff phone time.

Overview

We built a HIPAA-compliant scheduling platform that lets patients self-book appointments online, automatically fills cancellations from a smart waitlist, and sends multi-channel reminders — drastically reducing no-shows and phone volume.

The Challenge

A dermatology practice with multiple providers relied entirely on phone-based scheduling. Staff spent 4+ hours daily handling calls, no-show rates were around 30%, and providers had uneven schedules with frequent gaps and overbookings. The phone system was the bottleneck for growth.

Our Approach

1

Built HIPAA-compliant online scheduling with configurable provider availability rules and appointment types

2

Implemented a smart waitlist that automatically fills cancellations by matching patient preferences

3

Created provider dashboards with schedule utilization metrics and optimization suggestions

4

Added automated reminders via SMS, email, and voice calls at configurable intervals

Phone call volume reduced by over 60%

Provider utilization improved from 72% to 89%

Patient satisfaction increased due to self-service booking convenience

Our front desk was basically a call center. Now patients book themselves at 11pm on a Sunday and show up because they get three reminders. The waitlist feature alone fills 80% of our cancellations automatically.
