About This Automation
Radiograph due-date tracking requires staff to manually review patient records, calculate clinical intervals, and identify overdue cases. This manual process is time-consuming and prone to missed recalls.
Automation reads patient clinical profiles, calculates due dates against clinical guidelines, and flags patients for reminder outreach. The result is consistent compliance with clinical standards and faster patient communication.
Key features:
Calculate radiograph due dates automatically based on clinical guidelines and patient risk category
Flag patients whose radiographs are due within the next 7 days or are already overdue
Generate personalized reminder messages with appointment suggestions for each flagged patient
Log all contact attempts and patient responses in a centralized audit trail
Notify the clinical team of patients needing radiographs scheduled during appointments

1. Daily Radiograph Due-Date Checktrigger
The automation runs every morning at 7 AM, pulling the latest patient list and radiograph history from the practice's data source.
2. Calculate Due Dates for All Patients
The automation reviews each patient's last radiograph date and clinical profile, applies the correct interval guideline, and calculates the next due date.
3. Identify Due and Overdue Patients
The automation filters the patient list to find those whose due date is today or within the next 7 days, and flags any overdue radiographs.
4. Send Patient Reminder via Email
For each flagged patient, the automation sends a personalized reminder email with the patient's name, radiograph type, and a link to book an appointment.
5. Notify Clinical Team
The automation posts a summary message to the practice's channel listing all patients due for radiographs today and this week, so the team can prioritize.
6. Log Contact in Tracking Sheet
The automation updates the tracking log with the date, time, and method of each reminder sent, creating an audit trail for compliance.
