Solutions

From booking to check-up, unbroken patient tracking

The most expensive loss in a clinic is a no-show. The second is a check-up nobody remembered. Systematic reminders solve most of both.

At a glance

  • Online booking
  • Resource calendar
  • Automatic reminders
  • Patient communication history
  • Treatment package tracking

Recurring problems in clinics

What we hear most often:

  • Appointments are taken by phone and callers cannot get through at busy times
  • No-show rates are high and the empty slot cannot be refilled
  • What the patient discussed before, or which quote they received, is not recorded
  • Check-ups are not chased, so the patient never returns
  • Nobody can tell which session of a treatment package a patient is on
  • There are several branches but no single view of the patient

What the clinic setup includes

The structure we use in medical, dental, aesthetic and physiotherapy clinics:

Online booking

Patients see free slots on your site and book; the record lands in the CRM automatically.

Resource calendar

Calendars by doctor, chair, room or device, with no double booking.

Automatic reminders

WhatsApp or SMS reminders before the appointment, with confirmation requests and cancellation handling.

Patient communication history

Calls, messages, appointments and quotes on one timeline.

Treatment package tracking

Sessions remaining on multi-session treatments and scheduling the next appointment.

Branch and permission structure

Branch-level visibility with central reporting for multi-site clinics.

Reducing no-shows

An empty slot is lost revenue. Reminders help but are not enough on their own; the real difference comes from asking for confirmation.

An automatic message goes out a set time before the appointment asking the patient to confirm. If no confirmation arrives a second reminder follows, and after that a task opens for reception. If the appointment is cancelled the slot is freed and offered to the waiting list.

  • Staged reminders with a confirmation request
  • A task to reception when no confirmation arrives
  • Cancelled slots offered to the waiting list
  • No-show rate reported

The patient's whole history on one screen

When a patient calls, whoever answers needs to be able to say what was discussed last time. In clinics with scattered records that means starting the conversation from scratch every time.

In Bitrix24 calls, WhatsApp messages, appointments, quotes sent and treatment notes all collect on one timeline. When the phone rings the record opens and the person answering knows who they are speaking to.

  • Screen pop on incoming calls
  • Every channel on a single timeline
  • Treatment and quote history on the record
  • The same patient view across branches

Check-ups and session tracking

With multi-session treatments and procedures that need follow-up, waiting for the patient to come back on their own is lost revenue. Systematic reminders noticeably increase repeat revenue from the same patient.

When a treatment package is defined, remaining sessions are tracked; when a check-up falls due a task and a message fire automatically.

  • Treatment package and remaining session tracking
  • Automatic reminders when a check-up is due
  • A re-engagement flow for patients who do not return
  • Revenue reporting by session and package

Frequently Asked Questions

Is patient data protected?

Access permissions restrict patient records to the relevant staff, export rights are limited, and consent text is added to the booking form with a timestamped record of the approval. For stricter requirements an on-premise installation is possible.

Can we use it alongside our practice management system?

Yes. We build setups where Bitrix24 handles patient relationships and booking while your existing system handles clinical records. If that system has an API, appointment and patient data can be synchronised both ways.

Does it work across several branches?

Yes. Each branch manages its own calendar and records while head office reports on all of them. The patient stays a single record even if they move between branches.

Which channel do reminders go through?

WhatsApp, SMS and email are all available. In Türkiye WhatsApp gets the highest read rate, so we usually make it the primary channel with SMS as a fallback.

How does the booking page go on our site?

The Bitrix24 booking page embeds with a single line of code or can be shared as a separate link. For clinics without a website we can also build a simple booking page in Bitrix24.
