About This Automation

Patient recall and reactivation requires staff to manually export patient lists, identify inactive patients, review discharge status, and segment patients by reason for inactivity. This process is time-consuming and inconsistent, often resulting in delayed outreach and incomplete tracking.

Automation identifies inactive patients automatically, segments them by likely reason, and sends personalized recall messages via email and SMS. The system logs all outreach attempts and updates patient records, ensuring consistent follow-up and accurate tracking.

Key features
Automatically identify patients inactive for 60 or more days from appointment history
Segment inactive patients by reason using appointment notes and history patterns
Generate personalized recall messages tailored to each patient segment
Send emails and SMS messages to patients in bulk with full delivery tracking
Log all outreach attempts and update patient records with recall metadata
Monitor patient responses and flag those who have re-booked

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Weekly Inactivity Checktrigger

Every Monday at 08:00, the automation queries the scheduling system for all patients whose last appointment was 60 or more days ago and who do not have a discharge note.

2. Segment Inactive Patients

The automation reviews patient notes and appointment history to infer the likely reason for inactivity (completed course, cost concerns, moved, no improvement, other) and assigns each patient to a segment.

3. Compose Personalised Message

The automation generates a personalised email and SMS message for each patient based on their segment, tone, and any available contact preferences.

4. Send Email

Each personalised email is sent to the patient's registered email address, with a unique tracking link.

5. Send SMS

Each personalised SMS is sent to the patient's phone number, with a link to book or a call-to-action.

6. Log Outreach in Spreadsheet

The automation records the date, method, segment, and message content in a Google Sheet for audit and analysis.

7. Update Patient Record

The patient's record is tagged with the recall date and segment, so staff can see outreach history and avoid duplicate contact.
