How to reduce no-shows and fill same-week gaps in a physio or allied health clinic

The daily gap-and-waitlist match, the recall list and the rebooking prompt, read from Cliniko, Halaxy or Nookal and put in front of the front desk at 6am.

Short answer: a daily list of gaps in the next three days, matched against the waitlist and the clients due for recall, with the offer drafted, fills most gaps by mid-morning. It reads from the practice software you already run.

What is lost

A 2pm gap discovered at 2pm. Clients due for a six-week review who never got the recall. A waitlist in a notebook. Rebooking left to the client at the counter.

The lists

Gaps in the next 3 days by clinician. Waitlist by preferred time. Recalls due this month by clinician. Rebooking rate by clinician (booked at the counter versus not). Each with the message drafted for the front desk to send.

What it reads

Cliniko, Halaxy, Nookal or Power Diary by export or API. Nothing is sent to a client without a person.
