The short version
An agent drafts recall messages for patients overdue for cleanings, sent through your existing patient communication tool.
What they did
An agent drafts recall messages for patients overdue for cleanings, sent through your existing patient communication tool. The owner started with a small pilot: one workflow, a few days of supervised use where every output was reviewed before it went out, then gradually let routine cases run with lighter oversight.
Agent/tool used: Practice software + ChatGPT for templates
How it went
In a typical rollout like this: more patients rebook their hygiene visits. Most of the value comes from consistency, the task happens every time instead of when someone remembers. Expect a week or two of tuning the prompt and rules.
Worth knowing
AI drafts can be wrong or off-tone. Keep a human approving anything customer-facing at first, don't paste sensitive data (card numbers, health records, SSNs) into general chat tools, and check each tool's data and privacy terms.
Copy-paste prompt
Write 3 recall text templates for [Practice Name] for patients overdue for [service] by [3/6/12] months. Friendly, under 40 words, with booking link [link]. Do not include any health details (keep messages HIPAA-safe).
Replace anything in [brackets] with your own details.
Step-by-step setup
- Write down how you handle this today, in 5-10 bullets.
- Connect or export data from Google Workspace, Microsoft 365.
- Set up Practice software + ChatGPT for templates and paste in the prompt, filling in the [placeholders].
- Test it on 5-10 real past examples and fix anything that's off.
- Run it with you approving every output for one to two weeks.
- Once you trust it, automate the routine cases and spot-check weekly.
