National Case Study - No Show Appointments
One national study in 1999, which surveyed 468 family practice residency programs
in the U.S., obtained a 60 percent response rate. This study, possibly the most
comprehensive one available, found that over a third of those practices surveyed
had a no-show rate of over 21 percent. However, these data reported were only estimates
from 17.7 percent of those clinics that responded (Dixon, Chapman & Nuovo, 1999).
Another study found that both no-shows and cancelled appointments together amounted
to 31.1 percent of all appointments made and 32.2 percent of the total time that
is scheduled in a given work day.
The disadvantages include a longer waiting time for appointments (which may worsen
the no-show rate further), and discontinuity of care, which leads to the inappropriate
use of more expensive forms of medical care.
Economic Cost of no Show Appointments
The economic cost of no-shows is substantial. One clinic documented that during
1996, a total of 14, 000 appointments were not kept, resulting in an estimated loss
of over one million dollars (Pesata, Pallija & Webb, 1999). Another study found
that over one year, with 31.1 percent of appointments either cancelled or missed,
the cost to the clinic amounted to a loss of between 3 and 14 percent of the clinic's
total yearly income. (Moore, Wilson-Witherspoon & Probst, 2001)
