Two-way appointment reminders, confirmations and same-day waitlist fill

What it does

Patients get text reminders they can reply to (C to confirm, R to reschedule). When someone cancels, the system texts patients on the ASAP list offering the opening, first come first served, and writes the booking back to the practice management system.

Tools used

  • Dentrix, Eaglesoft or Open Dental (practice management)
  • NexHealth or Weave (sync, two-way texting, waitlist)
  • Optional: AI receptionist add-ons inside those platforms

Expected outcome · Typical goal

Typical goal: fewer empty chairs from no-shows and late cancellations, and less front-desk time spent on confirmation calls.

Setup notes

  1. Pick a platform that syncs both ways with the practice's PMS version. Check the integration list before buying.
  2. Get a BAA (Business Associate Agreement) from every vendor that touches patient data.
  3. Keep reminder texts minimal on PHI: date, time, and practice name, no procedure details.
  4. Set the waitlist rules with the office manager (which appointment types, which providers, how much notice).

Prompt / agent config

Replace the {placeholders} with your own details.

Reminder (48h): 'Hi {first name}, this is {Practice} confirming your visit on {day} at {time}. Reply C to confirm or R to reschedule.' Waitlist offer: 'Hi {first name}, an opening came up at {Practice} today at {time}. Reply YES to take it. First reply gets it.' AI rule for free-text replies: classify as confirm / reschedule / cancel / question; for questions about insurance, billing or symptoms, reply 'Our team will call you shortly' and create a front-desk task. Never give clinical advice.
