The Problem
Why orthopedic practices need cancellation backfill
These challenges cost practices thousands in lost revenue every month.
Specialist slots are too valuable to waste
An unfilled cancellation means expensive specialist or surgical time sitting idle.
Manual backfill is too slow
High-demand orthopedic slots can’t wait for staff to call down a list.
Patients want to be seen sooner
Those waiting for an opening would take an earlier slot if notified in time.

In their words
What orthopedics patients ask during cancellation backfill calls
