Rob spent years inside Canada's largest dental service organizations watching clinics leave millions on the table through preventable revenue leaks. After advising 50+ clinic owners and participating in multiple M&A processes, he saw the same patterns repeat across dental, physio, chiro, massage, and acupuncture practices. He built Caretrics to automate what clinic owners were doing manually—and now co-owns Human 2.0 wellness clinic in Ottawa, where he tests everything firsthand.

No-shows are one of the most visible revenue leaks in healthcare—but most clinic owners dramatically underestimate their true cost. This calculator helps you quantify exactly how much revenue you're losing to no-shows and what recovery looks like.
Industry average for Jane.app clinics: 8-12% no-show rate Best-in-class clinics: 3-5% no-show rate
The difference between average (10%) and best-in-class (4%) is $2,400-$3,800/month in recovered revenue for a typical clinic.
In Jane.app, navigate to Reports → Appointments and filter by:
Export the data and note these numbers:
Formula: (No-Shows ÷ Total Scheduled) × 100 = No-Show Rate %
Example:
Use this framework to calculate your specific revenue loss:
Formula: Monthly Appointments × (No-Show Rate ÷ 100) × Average Appointment Value
Example:
Calculation: 350 × 0.12 × $95 = $3,990/month lost
Annual Impact: $3,990 × 12 = $47,880/year
Common causes in Jane.app clinics:
Check: Settings → Notifications → Appointment Reminders

Priority Actions (implement immediately):
Expected Recovery: Reduce to 6-7% within 30 days Revenue Impact: $1,800-$2,400/month recovered
Optimization Actions:
Expected Recovery: Reduce to 4-5% within 60 days Revenue Impact: Additional $800-$1,200/month recovered
Maintenance Actions:
Expected State: Maintain 3-5% indefinitely Revenue Impact: Maximized—focus on other leaks
Caretrics automatically identifies these hidden patterns:
Finding: 67% of no-shows occur in afternoon appointments (2pm-5pm)
Action: Implement double-confirmation for afternoon slots or offer morning alternatives
Finding: New patients no-show at 18% rate vs 7% for returning patients
Action: Separate reminder strategy—new patients get SMS + email + confirmation call
Finding: Provider A has 5% no-show rate, Provider B has 14% no-show rate (same patient pool)
Action: Identify what Provider A does differently (better rapport, clearer value communication, etc.)
Baseline (January 2024):
Actions Taken:
Results (April 2024):
ROI: Caretrics subscription ($499/month) paid for itself 6x over
Mistake 1: Reminder Overkill Sending 5+ reminders annoys patients and increases unsubscribes. Stick to 2-3 touchpoints.
Mistake 2: No Enforcement Having a cancellation policy but never charging creates worse trust issues than no policy.
Mistake 3: Ignoring Patterns Not all no-shows are equal. Segment by patient type, time, and provider for targeted solutions.
Mistake 4: Manual Tracking Relying on memory or manual Excel exports misses emerging trends. Use automated reporting.
If your no-show rate is above 6%, you have $1,800-$3,200/month in recoverable revenue sitting in empty appointment slots.
