Recall

The Slot Is Already Gone — Now Somebody Has to Call Them, and Usually Nobody Does

Reminders only work on appointments that still exist. This is the workflow after the miss: when the recall fires, what the call says to somebody who feels awkward about it, and how the reason they gave gets used.

Missed appointments are automatically flagged for a recall workflow instead of waiting to be noticed
AI-driven recall calls re-engage patients with personalized context from their initial intake
If the patient said on an earlier reminder call that they couldn't attend, that reason can be referenced in the recall
Structured no-show data is returned as a summary for provider review
The reminders that preceded the miss carried migraine-specific context ('See you Tuesday—bring your medication log')
The point is recovered chair time and better scheduling efficiency on appointments you had already lost

How it pays back

A Missed Appointment Becomes A Re-Engagement, Not A Write-Off

Patients who no-show often experience guilt or scheduling confusion. AI recall calls reconnect them with context ('We had you scheduled for migraine management on Tuesday—we want to help, and here are some open slots this week') and often succeed in rebooking.

The Recall Knows Why, When You Know Why

If the patient answered an earlier reminder and gave a reason, that reason is captured and can be referenced warmly in the recall. If no reason was given, the recall is generic but still warm.

It Fires On Your Schedule, Not On Memory

You decide when the recall triggers: immediately, end of day, or the next business day. The workflow starts without anybody remembering to start it.

The Reminder Before The Miss Still Counted

A generic 'Don't forget your appointment' has low impact, while 'See you Tuesday at 2 PM for migraine evaluation—bring your medication list' reminds patients of clinical relevance. The recall workflow is what catches the patients that even a good reminder did not.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly does the recall workflow trigger after a no-show?

You set the trigger: immediate, end-of-day, or next-business-day. Once triggered, the AI calls the patient with a pre-recorded or AI-generated message referencing their migraine visit context and offers to reschedule.

Does the provider see who no-showed?

Yes. Missed appointments are flagged and logged for provider awareness, and structured no-show data is returned as a summary for provider review.

Can the recall message reference why the patient no-showed?

If the patient answered the reminder call and indicated they couldn't attend, that reason is captured and can be referenced in the recall message ('We know you had a migraine flare on Tuesday—we're still here to help'). If no reason was given, the recall is generic but warm.

Can the patient rebook on the recall call itself?

Yes. The AI can offer available slots based on your real-time schedule, book the new appointment, and cancel the old one—all synced to your EMR immediately. No staff callback needed unless the patient has complex scheduling needs.

Isn't chasing missed appointments the patient's responsibility, not ours?

These are support tools. Patients are responsible for managing their appointments. The AI makes the follow-up personalized and timely, which increases the chance of the patient coming back.
