Client Background

A regional healthcare organization in Netherlands operating a network of primary care clinics and specialty outpatient centers. The provider manages an average of 600–800 patient appointments per day across multiple departments, supported by a team of over 200 healthcare professionals.

‍

Business Challenge

The client’s appointment scheduling was heavily dependent on manual processes managed by front-desk staff and phone-based systems. Patients faced difficulty accessing or modifying appointments outside of business hours, and the scheduling team struggled to keep up with high volumes during peak periods.

The provider lacked visibility into patient behavior trends and was unable to proactively manage no-shows or appointment gaps, directly affecting operational efficiency and provider productivity.

‍

Consequences of the Challenge

• Increased administrative load: Up to 35% of front-desk staff time was spent managing schedules and reschedules.
• Elevated no-show rate: Averaging ~25% per week across outpatient departments.
• Patient friction: Patients found the process inconvenient, especially for rescheduling or after-hours booking.
• Patient dissatisfaction: Delays and lack of self-service options impacted experience scores.
• Revenue leakage: Missed appointments meant unfilled slots, impacting revenue and provider efficiency.
