Patient Scheduling and Retention
From checkup to follow up: A guide to effective patient recall with free templates
Follow-up appointments are an important part of patient retention and quality care. Here’s why they matter — and 4 templates to use when you reach out to patients.

Whether you're a newer or established healthcare practice, one fundamental truth prevails: your vitality depends on nurturing a dedicated and engaged patient community. Unfortunately, this task is not easy in today's competitive healthcare landscape. With more choices available than ever, modern patients have higher expectations of their healthcare providers. According to a 2023 patient experience survey by Tebra, 73% of respondents would contemplate leaving a practice due to a poor experience with a healthcare provider. This underscores the significant repercussions faced by practices that fail to adapt to these evolving demands — and patient recall's meaning for your success.
While the current landscape poses unique challenges, practices can effectively address and manage many of these issues. By strategically implementing a patient recall process, healthcare providers can mitigate patient attrition and enhance retention rates. To emphasize its significance, a 5% increase in patient retention can lead to a 25-100% rise in lifetime healthcare costs for an individual patient. When you realize how dramatically patient retention can affect your financial success, the importance of providing continuous patient care becomes clear.
In this article, we clarify the patient recall meaning and present a comprehensive patient recall guide to assist you in elevating patient retention rates. We'll delve into the reasons for follow-up appointments, how follow-ups enhance patient care, and 4 follow-up templates that you can start using in your practice immediately.

A guide to the patient recall process
While it is preferable to schedule a patient's next appointment before they leave their current one, many patients hesitate to book appointments months in advance. This hesitation stems from the uncertainty of their future schedules. Instead of risking potential rescheduling, these patients prefer to book follow-ups closer to the time of their appointment.
To adapt to this evolving patient behavior and minimize the risk of missed follow-ups, practices must establish robust patient retention practices with the patient recall meaning as the foundational element. This strategic approach ensures a proactive system that accommodates patients' scheduling preferences while guaranteeing they receive necessary follow-up care.
What is patient recall?
Patient recall, meaning the process of reminding patients to schedule routine checkups or follow-up visits, is crucial for healthcare practices. Sending postcards and letters as reminders for well-child appointments resulted in significantly higher attendance rates for both the letter (75.0%) and postcard (73.7%) groups compared to the control group, which received no reminders (67.5%). Importantly, there was no statistically significant difference in show rates between the letter and postcard groups, emphasizing the effectiveness of postcard reminders in improving follow-up attendance rates. Patient recall not only helps individuals stay on top of their care but also ensures a steady flow of patients — and revenue.
“ Patient recall not only helps individuals stay on top of their care but also ensures a steady flow of patients — and revenue. ”
While each practice’s patient recall process will be different, a successful process typically includes the following components:
1. Identify suitable segments
First, identify key groups that are prime candidates for recall campaigns. This could include people with uteruses due for annual exams, individuals with chronic conditions that require annual monitoring, and those due for annual vaccinations like flu shots. A good electronic health record (EHR) can help you to identify suitable segments and an integrated practice growth automation platform will streamline the messaging process.
2. Select communication channels
Recall messaging campaigns, especially for crucial medical needs like vaccines or follow-up appointments, can be highly successful. However, given that 70% of consumers penalize brands for communicating in undesirable ways , the choice of the right communication channel is crucial. According to Tebra's annual Patient Perspectives report , the majority of patients (67.3%) prefer receiving text messages, both for appointment-related reminders and reminders to schedule follow-up appointments (47%). Patient portals also emerge as a close second choice, with 37% of patients favoring them for appointment scheduling.
3. Schedule appointments
Once you select your patient recall segments and communication channel, it’s time to schedule the appointment. Sending patient recall campaigns through email, text, or medical practice management software such as Tebra allows you to include self-service scheduling links. This streamlines the scheduling process and empowers patients to take control of rescheduling. With 44% of Tebra survey respondents admitting to canceling appointments in the past 12 months, employing digital booking solutions can alleviate the administrative burden of managing appointments over the phone.
It's worth noting that even the most extensive patient recall segments may miss some candidates. For this reason, it's a best practice to regularly execute a generic recall campaign. This helps to minimize patient attrition and guarantee a consistent stream of patients.
Ideas for post-appointment patient checkups
Follow-up appointments are a vital aspect of the ongoing support and monitoring necessary to prevent care gaps and enhance outcomes for patients with chronic conditions. However, even all patients benefit from preventative care, which is why it’s crucial to consider the various reasons for post-appointment patient checkups.
- New patient checkups: When patients initially visit a practice for specific concerns rather than for a comprehensive physical exam , physicians may have only a partial understanding of their medical history. Scheduling new patient checkups not only nurtures the budding patient-physician relationship but also creates an opportunity to comprehensively address other medical needs.
- Monitoring patients' symptoms: Post-appointment checkups provide an opportunity to monitor a patient's condition or symptoms. This allows healthcare providers to adjust the treatment plan and prescribe alternative medications if necessary.
- Reinforcing action plans: Healthcare providers reinforce the patient's understanding of their medical condition and course of care. These follow-up visits directly impact patient outcomes and engagement in the healthcare journey.
- Confirming medicine regimens: Follow-up visits help to ensure patients adhere to their medications, allowing healthcare providers to confirm proper usage or explore affordable alternatives. This proactive approach helps minimize the risk of complications and contributes to overall patient well-being.
- Continuous care for chronic conditions: Continuity of care is vital for patients with chronic conditions. Follow-up appointments provide the ongoing preventive care and close monitoring required to help manage such conditions.
- Verifying referral followthrough: If you refer a patient to a specialist or for tests or treatments, follow-up appointments help to verify that the patient has acted on these referrals and receives the care they need.
- Sharing lab results: Many healthcare processes involve diagnostic tests and lab work. Follow-up appointments provide the opportunity to explain test results and establish a treatment plan if required.

Importance of patient follow-ups to increase returning visits
Regardless of the reason for a follow-up visit, these appointments form an integral part of the continuum of care . This integrated system of care guides patients from preventive care through medical incidents, rehabilitation, and maintenance, ensuring the monitoring of symptom monitoring and treatment compliance.
This integrative approach has a few benefits:
- More positive outcomes : By maintaining active engagement with patients, healthcare providers can deliver better care. This fosters more positive outcomes and improves retention rates for the practice. The MIPS (Merit-Based Incentive Payment System) and MACRA (Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act) provide additional incentives for healthcare providers, offering positive payment adjustments for delivering high-quality care and improved outcomes.
- Fewer hospital readmissions: Timely follow-ups can help to identify health concerns before they worsen, reducing the need for hospital readmissions .
- Stronger patient relationships: Consistent follow-ups build trust and strengthen the patient-provider relationship, resulting in more engaged and satisfied patients.
- Operational efficiencies: Software patient follow-up systems streamline the care process, optimizing resource allocation and appointment availability. This is a significant factor that influences whether a patient chooses to remain with your practice.
By recognizing the multifaceted benefits of post-appointment patient checkups, you can provide higher-quality care and enhance the patient experience.

Many Clinical Research Associates are unprepared for their clinical trial monitoring visits, which is an important part of their role. It is understandable – CRAs are busy and it can be hard to find time for planning where there are so many other tasks to complete right away.
Monitoring visits are when CRAs ensure their studies are staying in compliance and on track. Creating a plan for the allotted time is the best way to ensure a productive, efficient monitoring visit.
What Happens at a Clinical Trial Monitoring Visit
Monitoring visits are typically very full days – jam-packed with all of the action items the CRA and the site need and want to accomplish.
A CRA may visit a site for site initiation, an Interim Monitoring Visit (IMV) – also called a Routine Monitoring Visit (RMV), or a study close-out. IMVs are the most common and usually happen every 4-6 weeks. However, monitoring plans differ and are determined by the Sponsor or CRO before a trial begins.
3 objectives of a monitoring visit
While there are many things that a CRA wants to successfully complete at a monitoring visit, there are three main objectives for each visit:
- Discover any data errors and/or discrepancies
- Evaluate the site staff’s understanding of the protocol and procedures
- Determine compliance
Standard tasks, meetings and goals of a monitoring check-in visit
Tasks are based on the reason for the visit. Since an Interim Monitoring Visit is the most common, here are the general business items that a CRA will address at a monitoring check-in visit:
- Review the regulatory binder, study documentation, and CRF entries
- Audit screening, enrollment, visit, and follow up data
- Conduct Source Data Verification
- Perform a safety assessment
- Examine the investigational product and study supplies
- Evaluate study personnel and site facilities
- Meet with the Principal Investigator and site staff
The Association of Clinical Research Professionals (ACRP) created this extensive checklist of tasks for a monitoring visit .
CRAs are responsible for documenting everything they observe, notice, and discuss during a visit. Following the visit, this information is compiled into a clinical monitoring report. Here are 5 guidelines for writing a useful clinical monitoring report from MasterControl.
Consequences of being Unprepared for a Monitoring Visit
Being prepared for a monitoring visit is instrumental in the success of the visit. When both the Clinical Research Associate and the research site are prepared, monitoring visits run smoothly and efficiently. The patient volunteers, clinical research team, and CRO or Sponsor are all negatively affected when the CRA or the site staff has not taken the time to prepare for a monitoring visit.
Scheduling conflicts and unavailability of key team members can lead to important meetings that have to wait until the next visit.
The site may not have the necessary documents or the regulatory binder ready for the CRA to review, which is one of the primary activities for most monitoring visits.
When monitoring visits are not successful and all essential tasks and meetings do not occur, the trial can be delayed – and potentially over budget. Sponsors and CROs may lose trust in the site and the staff.
3 Steps for a Successful Monitoring Visit
With proper communication and a simple 3 step process, preparing for a monitoring visit does not have to be overly time-consuming. Plus, spending time in advance will be time saved through an efficient, organized visit!
- Plan the visit. Download this free checklist that will lead to a well-planned visit. It even includes a list of documents to have on your computer and in your work bag. (The checklist can be modified based on the protocol or directions from the research team.)
- Review the study protocol and have a thorough understanding of the entire document.
- Bring clinical trial monitoring tools! Use the Visit To Do List to stay focused and on task. Provide the site staff with a copy of the Action Item List – and use the other copy to write the Monitoring Visit Report and Follow-Up Letter.
For more tips, check out Dan Sfera’s YouTube video about how CRAs should prepare for a site monitoring visit .
Stop showing up unprepared for a monitoring visit! As a leader and essential member of the research team, the site staff will appreciate and respect you for your thoroughness and organization – and this will be evident in their work!

Study close-out is an essential factor in a clinical trial study. This process ensures that all the clinical trial activities are rightly reconciled, recorded, and reported at the end of the study trial. Usually, a study trial is considered closed by clinical research companies when the study report is finalised and the database is locked.
Why is study close-out important?
Study close-out is essential because of regulatory obligations, to keep track of the resources invested, to answer the research questions, and finally, for the contribution of generalizable knowledge and better medical care.
3 key areas in clinical trials which require immediate attention once the research is completed:
- Document Management, Storage, and Retention: Once your research study is completed, you need to ensure that all the related study documents are maintained and stored in the research site for at least a year or as mentioned in the study contract Federal Regulations guidelines.
Post this period, and the study documents need to be archived properly in an off-site location. The documents should remain retrievable for another seven years or as mentioned in the study-specific agreement.
- Study Close-out Report: It is critical to submitting a study closeout report to the IRB while closing a trial study. The report is meant to inform the IRB about the study closeout activities, including study outcomes and any problems that might have arisen.
The report is to be written by the sponsor in case of a sponsored trial or an investigator if the investigator-initiated the study. The study report should include any record of serious adverse events or unexpected events if the study goal was achieved.
- Result Submission: The study must be first registered with ClinicalTrials.gov before publishing the results. The principal investigator has the sole responsibility to provide and maintain study-specific reports.
Listed below are the 6 different components of the study close-out checklist:
- Monitoring visits: Ensure there are site close-out visits in the sites participating in the clinical trial. Usually, there are two types of visits – Local QA and NIDA CCC. During a monitoring visit following items need to cover.
During a closeout visit, things required to be covered includes data integrity and query resolution, adherence to regulatory requirements, disposition of study material, etc. Know that close-out may not occur until the last participant the last visit has occurred.
- Study personnel: For any staff no longer participating in the study trial, an updated staff information form needs to be sent.
- Safety and regulatory: Ensure you have done all adverse event reporting. All protocol deviations must be reported too. Ensure you have completed all the regulatory files and have uploaded all the documents to the regulatory tracking system. If any action item is pending, ensure to close it before site-close out.
- Data cleaning: The success of a clinical trial depends on the quality of the data. Hence, ensure the data integrity is maintained throughout the clinical trial process. Generate data quality reports towards the end of the study trial and at close-out.
- Medication, supplies, equipment: Understand who has disposition authority and include it in the site closeout checklist. Start working towards maintaining a low supply inventory once you are approaching the study closeout. Know that while you can donate certain supplies like lab kits, needs, gel packs, shipping boxes, etc., you need to destroy medication wallet cards, waybills, prescription labels, etc.
- Storage and data retention: You have all the source documentation in one place. Ensure that for paper studies, all CRFs are completed, collected, and the legible copies are available in your study files. For electronic data, confirm that all electronic CRFs have been completed and submitted.
Wrapping Up:
Study close-out is an essential factor in concluding clinical testing successfully. This checklist will ensure you do not miss out on the vital points of study close-out.
