HealthCare Choices NY, Inc. offers comprehensive medical, dental, and mental health care services to New York special needs and high-risk populations and communities. The practice strives to strengthen the community’s health by providing open access to supportive services, including testing, prevention, referral to care, and education. Missed appointments are a significant challenge for healthcare providers nationwide, including HealthCare Choices NY, Inc., impacting their ability to support communities.

By leveraging the healow no-show prediction AI model, the practice efficiently identifies which appointments will likely be missed, enabling the community center to better manage its scheduling strategy. Using AI and machine learning, healow helps identify appointments with a high no-show probability with up to 90% accuracy.

With the healow no-show prediction AI model, HealthCare Choices NY, Inc. reported:

  • An increase in the show rate from 10.4% to 26.5% for appointments with a high risk of a no-show, indicating a 155% improvement.
  • The show rate increased from 23.07% to 34.1% for appointments with a medium risk of no-show, indicating a 47.8% improvement.
  • Improved ability to drive workflow processes around scheduling strategies based on statistics.

“Missed appointments highly impact not just our appointment schedule but access to care, especially for our at-risk populations,” says Wing Chu, director of IT at HealthCare Choices NY, Inc. “By implementing the healow no-show prediction AI model, we’ve seen a reduction in appointments with a high to moderate risk of no-show in the past couple of months. With eClinicalWorks V12, we now have access to the no-show probability at our fingertips, easing the appointment scheduling workflow. I recommend the model to any practice that wants to systematically reduce the volume of no-shows, which translates to more revenue, but more importantly better healthcare outcomes for patients.”
