Patient scheduling & reminders · Veterinary clinics
Keep the book full, close every care gap.
The Cornerstone recall report lists hundreds overdue for rabies boosters, heartworm tests, and senior wellness, but nobody works it. No-shows leave holes the schedule never refills.
The reality
Veterinary scheduling is a recall problem.
The PIMS knows which patients are due — overdue vaccines, dental recheck, annual wellness — but turning that list into booked appointments means texting owners, working the no-show list, and filling cancellations one at a time. The schedule leaks revenue and patients miss care.
The operator owns the schedule and the recall. It reads the due and overdue reports, reaches each owner on their preferred channel, books the appointment directly into the calendar, and runs no-show follow-up the same day so the slot gets refilled.
