In short

How do I automatically track oncology no-shows and queue patient follow-ups in NextGen?

WebRun pulls all oncology no-shows and cancellations from NextGen each morning and logs them to Google Sheets. It drafts a re-scheduling message for each patient but holds every message for staff review and approval before any contact is made, ensuring PHI stays protected and no patient slips through unnoticed.

  • No missed oncology appointment goes unnoticed or unaddressed
  • Staff start each day with a ready-to-action no-show list
  • Patient outreach held for human approval to protect PHI

Questions, answered

Will it contact patients directly to reschedule?

No. Patient outreach is drafted and held for staff review. Because patient contact involves PHI and must be handled carefully, no message is sent until a staff member approves it.

How does it handle patients with urgent upcoming treatments?

It flags any no-show patient who has a critical upcoming treatment, such as an infusion or chemotherapy session, so staff can prioritize reaching out to those patients first.

What if a patient cancelled with advance notice?

Cancellations are logged separately from same-day no-shows, so your team can see the full picture and decide whether a re-scheduling call or a simple reminder is the right next step.
