Month 3 - Focusing on reducing our FTAs and short notice cancellations

11/10/2017

Our focus over the past months has been to reduce our FTAs and short notice cancellations and it seems to be working. Our short notice cancellations have decreased by 15% which in part has been due to sending automated e-mails to our patients a week before their appointments, reminding them that if they need to reschedule their appointment they need to contact the practice with 48 hours’ notice. This e-mail has also allowed us to remind our patients to arrive a few minutes earlier than their appointment to complete any necessary paperwork. Thanks to the automated function of SOE there isn’t any extra pressure on reception to send these e-mails and by giving the practice extra notice that there will be available time in the diary, the reception team has the opportunity to fill the time resulting in an increase of 2.4% in chair utilisation time. These two things, combined with an increase in new patients this month, has led to a very busy month.
