My patients are often lost to follow-up!

Fixing This Matters

Loss to follow-up (LTFU) refers to patients who do not return for necessary follow-up appointments or treatments, which can lead to worsened health outcomes and increased healthcare costs. This issue can have serious implications for both patients and healthcare providers. For patients, missed follow-ups can result in untreated conditions, deteriorating health, and increased risk of complications. For healthcare providers, it means lost revenue, decreased patient satisfaction, and potential liability issues.

If the problem is not addressed:

Worsened Patient Outcomes: Conditions can go untreated, leading to serious health complications.
Increased Healthcare Costs: Delayed treatments can result in higher costs for more intensive care.
Revenue Loss: Missed follow-up appointments translate to lost income for the practice.
Decreased Patient Satisfaction: Patients who don't feel adequately followed up may seek care elsewhere.
Legal Risks: Failure to follow up appropriately can expose providers to malpractice claims.
