Recall Reminder Order

Overdue-checkup messages moved into the order patients actually read, with the reason for the visit first.

Cedar & Main had a warm team and a full schedule, but their recall reminders led with logistics. The reason to come back sat at the bottom, under the parking instructions.

Recall message review, two weeks

Source Material

Reminder emails, texts, front-desk scripts

Overview

What two weeks documented

We read the reminders the way a busy patient does: fast, on a phone, half-listening. The reason for the visit was buried under dates and directions. We moved the why to the top, the how underneath, and left a template the front desk could reuse for every recall type.

The Evidence

The annotated record

Printed product page sheets with pencil annotation marks and sticky flags grouped by shopper question

Recall messages with our review annotations, grouped by the question each one answers first.

Message Order

Reason for the visit, what is due, how long it takes, and how to book. One order, every recall message.

What We Did Not Measure

Rebooking rates and revenue sat outside this review. Those belong to live practice data, so we left them out.

“The reminders finally lead with why it matters. We just reused the template for hygiene and ortho.”
