// HEALTHCARE OPERATIONS CASE STUDY
Cut no-show rate from 18% to 6% in 11 weeks
Regional dental group (9 practices)
A specialty dental group was bleeding revenue to no-shows and unconfirmed appointments. We replaced their manual reminder process with an AI ops layer that confirms, reschedules, and fills cancellations automatically.
// THE PROBLEM
Front desk spent ~6 hours/day on confirmations and chasing reschedules. 18% no-show rate. Empty chairs cost roughly $480 each — and they had 40+ per week across the group.
// THE SYSTEM WE BUILT
- — AI voice + SMS confirmations 72h, 24h, and 2h before appointments
- — Smart reschedule flow — if a patient can't make it, the agent offers the next 3 slots that match their provider and insurance
- — Cancellation waitlist auto-fill — when a slot opens, the agent calls waitlisted patients in order
- — Daily summary to office manager: confirmed, rescheduled, lost, recovered
