Appointment recovery

Recover missed appointments before the slot, patient, and revenue are lost.

Ethon AI helps hospitals identify appointment risk, contact patients through approved channels, support rescheduling, and route exceptions to staff.

What the approved workflow needs to do.

Create a prioritized queue from upcoming appointments and approved eligibility rules
Run reminder, confirmation, rescheduling, and cancellation branches
Offer only slots and actions permitted by the hospital system
Escalate clinical questions, identity failures, and workflow exceptions
Write outcomes back using an agreed appointment-status taxonomy

Operating model

A closed loop, not another callback list.

  1. 01

    Select the queue

    Apply department, appointment-type, lead-time, consent, and exclusion rules before outreach begins.

  2. 02

    Contact and resolve

    Confirm attendance, support an approved reschedule, record a cancellation, or route the case to a person.

  3. 03

    Close the loop

    Update the source system, release cancelled capacity, and record a defensible outcome for reporting.

Questions

What buyers usually need clarified.

What counts as an appointment recovery?

The hospital should define it before launch. A common definition is an appointment that was at risk and was subsequently confirmed, rescheduled, or replaced through the approved workflow.

Can Ethon choose any available slot?

No. Slot access and booking actions should be limited by the hospital scheduling policy, system permissions, and workflow scope.

Does this replace the front desk?

The goal is to give staff a cleaner exception queue. People remain responsible for cases outside the approved workflow and for hospital-specific judgment.
