The scheduling problem at Beacon Health Partners

Specialty clinics suffered from a 22% no-show rate. Front desk coordinators called patients individually 48 hours prior, but over 60% of calls went to voicemail. Patients who needed to reschedule had to wait on hold during business hours, leading many to simply miss appointments without cancellation notice.

  • 22% average patient no-show rate across all 14 clinical sites
  • Staff spent 25+ hours per week per clinic attempting manual phone reminder calls
  • Late cancellations left open slots that could not be backfilled in time for waitlisted patients
Compared against: FY 2025 patient access operations review
