About This Automation

Patient recall and reactivation is the process of identifying inactive patients due for follow-up care and reaching out to schedule appointments.

Automation identifies eligible patients, segments them by service type, generates personalized outreach messages, monitors responses, and sends follow-ups automatically. The result is faster patient contact, consistent messaging, and complete tracking with minimal staff intervention.

Key features
Automatically identify patients due for recall based on last visit date and clinical guidelines
Segment patients by service type and reason for inactivity to tailor outreach messaging
Generate personalized email and SMS messages with dynamic content and appointment availability
Send outreach and follow-up messages on a defined schedule without manual intervention
Track patient responses and engagement metrics in real time
Update patient status and close recalls when outcomes are determined

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Patient Recall Duetrigger

The automation is triggered when a patient's last visit date exceeds the recall interval or when a patient is marked as inactive. The trigger runs daily to identify all eligible patients.

2. Segment Patients by Recall Type

The automation analyzes patient records to categorize them by service type and reason for inactivity, determining the appropriate outreach template and priority level.

3. Generate Personalized Outreach Message

The automation creates a tailored email or SMS message based on the patient segment, including appointment availability and service details. Templates are populated with patient-specific data.

4. Send Outreach via Email and SMS

The automation sends the outreach message to the patient using their preferred contact method. Both email and SMS are logged automatically with timestamps.

5. Monitor Response and Trigger Follow-up

The system monitors for patient responses, appointment bookings, and engagement. If no response is detected within 5 days, a follow-up message is automatically sent.

6. Update Patient Status

Once a patient books an appointment, declines recall, or becomes unresponsive after the final follow-up, the patient record is automatically updated with the recall outcome and closed.

7. Notify Team

A summary notification is sent to the clinical team with the number of recalls sent, responses received, and appointments booked, enabling real-time visibility.
