How to optimize your clinic schedule and minimize missed appointments
May 14, 2025
Missed appointments result in a loss of time, money, and resources for dental clinics. Fortunately, you can optimize your schedule and significantly reduce absenteeism with automated reminder and confirmation systems.
Here's how to achieve this:
1. Use multi-channel reminders
Patients are all different: some prefer an email, others a text message or a voice call. With Dentitek’s automated systems, you can tailor reminders to the patient's preferred channel, significantly increasing response rates.
2. Schedule strategic reminders
Sending a reminder 72 hours in advance, then another 24 hours before the appointment, helps maintain patient engagement. With Dentitek, these steps are automated, reducing staff workload and improving punctuality.
3. Simplify confirmation
Dentitek’s automated reminders include a one-click confirmation link. This allows you to better anticipate cancellations and quickly fill vacant slots.
4. Analyze and adjust
Our solution enables you to track attendance statistics, identify the most effective channels, and pinpoint at-risk time slots. This data helps you adjust your scheduling strategies and maximize productivity.
👉 Fewer missed appointments = more care provided, less loss for your clinic.
