# Appointment requests and follow-up

Sort incoming appointment, reschedule and paperwork requests, draft replies and reminders from approved templates, and route anything clinical or urgent straight to staff, so the front desk spends less time on routine messages.

Where it starts

## The trigger.

A patient or client sends an appointment, reschedule or paperwork request by phone message, form, email or portal.

How it runs today

- Front-desk staff read and sort every message by hand.
- Routine reschedules wait in the same queue as urgent messages.
- Reminders and follow-ups are sent inconsistently.

The workflow

## Four bounded steps.

Each step has an owner and a stop rule.

1. 01 / Sort
   Classify each message as booking, reschedule, cancellation, paperwork or other; anything clinical or urgent is routed to staff immediately.
2. 02 / Look up
   Check the scheduling system for availability and the person’s upcoming appointments.
3. 03 / Draft
   Draft a reply or reminder from approved templates, with no clinical advice.
4. 04 / Approve
   Front-desk staff approve each reply; staff make every booking change and every clinical decision.

Where people stay in control

## Approval points.

- Messages that mention symptoms, medication or urgency go straight to staff and are never answered automatically.
- Staff approve every reply and make every booking change.
- Access follows the organisation’s privacy and security rules for patient data.

How we would measure it

## Against a baseline.

Measured before and after, on the same work.

### Time from request to reply.

### Share of messages handled with an approved template.

### Missed or late follow-ups.

More use cases

## Other places to start.

[All use cases](https://lidvizion.ai/use-cases/)

- [Insurance claim intake](https://lidvizion.ai/use-cases/insurance-claim-intake/): Customer support Read new claim forms, photos and supporting documents, extract the key details, check them against the policy record and flag what is missing, so a claims handler starts with a complete, organised file instead of chasing paperwork.
- [“Where is my order?” answers](https://lidvizion.ai/use-cases/where-is-my-order-answers/): Customer support Answer customers’ order and delivery status questions from live order and tracking data, after confirming who is asking, and hand delayed, damaged or disputed shipments to a coordinator with the details attached.
- [Support triage and reply drafts](https://lidvizion.ai/use-cases/support-triage/): Customer support Classify incoming tickets, find the relevant answer, and draft a reply for an agent to check.
