Scientific and theoretical basis
Appointment cancellation rate (no-show rate) is an operational indicator that shows how many of the scheduled appointments were canceled or the patient did not show up.
Formula and Logic
Cancellation Rate (%) = Number of Cancellations/No-Shows / Total Appointments × 100
How is it interpreted?
A high rate indicates idle capacity, extended waiting lists, and revenue loss. It can be reduced with reminder (SMS/push), easy rescheduling, and overbooking strategies.
Considerations
Online appointment system and automatic reminders can significantly reduce the no-show rate. The rate varies by specialty and patient profile.
