DNA PREDICTION
Start with the patients most likely to miss
DNA Prediction puts each clinic list in order of how likely a patient is to miss, so your callers start at the top.
Data-driven predictions
Each patient gets a likelihood to miss, from factors including appointment history, engagement and timing.
Ranked call lists
A list ranked by likelihood to miss, so your team starts at the top and tailors each call.
Likelihood flags
Patients are flagged high, medium or low likelihood to miss, so the list reads at a glance.
DNA Predictor has been a key tool in ensuring we are allocating our confirmation caller resources in the most appropriate areas. Since using the model alongside other DrDoctor products, we have seen a 2-3% reduction in Outpatient DNA’s in our Trust. The DrDoctor team have been accommodating and responsive to issues as well as implementing improvement ideas we have raised.

CLINIC OPTIMISER
See how many more patients a clinic can take
Clinic Optimiser predicts attendance and updates as the day changes. Your clinic team decides how far to overbook.
Data-driven optimisation
Predicts the number and timing of extra slots from clinic history, attendance and staff availability.
Set thresholds once
Set attendance thresholds once, and each clinic shows how many patients it can overbook.
Updates through the day
Clinic history and day-to-day changes come together to keep each clinic's number current.
See it in action
Clinic Optimiser turns your attendance thresholds into a number of extra patients for the day. The video walks through it.

WHERE IT FITS

Reminders come first. DNA Prediction is for the patients still likely to miss once the reminder has gone out, so your calls go where they count.
OUR RESEARCH
Why patients DNA, region by region
We asked 5,003 people who had missed an NHS hospital appointment what got in the way (Censuswide, September 2024). The report breaks the answers down by region.
