About This Automation
Eye-exam recall is the process of identifying patients due for their next eye exam and contacting them to schedule an appointment.
Automated recall identifies due patients, personalizes outreach messages, sends multi-channel contact attempts, logs all interactions, and generates performance reports without manual intervention. The result is faster patient contact, higher confirmation rates, and reduced administrative burden.
Key features:
Automatically identify patients due for exams within a configurable window
Verify and validate contact information before sending outreach
Compose personalized recall messages with patient history and call-to-action
Send multi-channel outreach via email and SMS simultaneously
Log all contact attempts and outcomes in patient records automatically
Escalate non-responders for targeted follow-up without manual review

1. Daily Exam Due Date Checktrigger
The automation platform queries the patient database daily at 8 AM to identify all patients whose exam due date is within the next 14 days and who have no scheduled appointment. A list of recall candidates is generated.
2. Verify and Enrich Contact Data
The Recall retrieves the most recent contact information for each patient, validates phone and email addresses, and flags any records with missing or outdated details for manual review.
3. Generate Personalised Recall Message
The Recall composes a personalised recall message for each patient, including their name, last exam date, and a clear call-to-action. The message is tailored to the patient's preferred contact method.
4. Send Multi-Channel Recall
The automation sends the recall message via email and SMS, based on the patient's contact preference. A log entry is created for each outreach attempt.
5. Patient Confirmed?
The system monitors for patient responses (email replies, SMS confirmations, or calendar bookings) over the next 7 days. If a confirmation is received, the flow proceeds to appointment confirmation. If no response, the flow triggers a follow-up.
6. Send Follow-Up Reminder
For non-responders after 7 days, the automation sends a second reminder via the patient's preferred channel, with a direct link to book online or a phone number to call.
7. Log Confirmation and Update Calendar
When a patient confirms, the Recall logs the confirmation, updates the appointment calendar, and sends a final confirmation email with appointment details and pre-visit instructions.
8. Generate Weekly Recall Report
Every Monday, the automation compiles a summary report of the previous week's recall activity, including contacts made, confirmation rate, no-show rate, and outstanding follow-ups. The report is posted and saved.
Everything you need to know before mapping this process.
The automation flags records with missing or invalid phone numbers and emails for manual review, ensuring no patient is contacted with incorrect details. Staff can update the information and re-run the recall for that patient.
