The situation

Each clinic booked patients its own way: a paper diary, two spreadsheets, three different software tools. Head office could not see cancellations until the end of the week, and empty chairs were invisible.

What we did

  • Picked one booking tool with the front desk leads, not for them.

  • Migrated one clinic per fortnight, starting with the most sceptical.

  • Held a weekly 45 minute session for blockers, and one async channel in between.

The numbers

After four months all nine clinics shared one calendar. Same-day cancellations were refilled 31 percent more often, because the next clinic over could see the gap.

Why a retainer

The tool was the easy part. The habits took months, and the weekly rhythm kept the migration moving at the pace of the slowest clinic.
