Ways to reduce no-shows
- Remind patients before the visit.A text or email two days ahead and again the day before gives people time to confirm or reschedule.
- Get intake done before the visit.Patients who finish their forms at home have already committed to the appointment.
- Make rescheduling easy.A patient who can move a visit by text or online is less likely to simply not show up.
- Ask for a card or deposit at booking.A small commitment up front discourages last-minute skips.
- Keep a waitlist.Fill cancelled slots quickly so a late cancellation does not become an empty hour.
Every patient ready before the visit.
Formisoft sends forms when patients book, reminds them 48 hours before if they are not done, and shows your front desk who is ready. Appointment reminders by text and email come with the Front Desk plan.
