Recall is the engine of every chiropractic practice

Most clinics already know recall is the highest-leverage activity in the office. They also know it’s the first thing that gets dropped when the front desk is busy — which is every day. The snapshot’s recall engine fixes that by running automatically, in the background, with timing that adapts to each patient’s care plan.

How most clinics handle recall today

A spreadsheet. Or a Tuesday-afternoon block where a staff member calls 20 lapsed patients and rebooks 2 of them. It works, in the sense that it’s not zero — but the math is brutal.

How the snapshot handles it

Every patient is tagged with their current care phase (relief / corrective / wellness) and prescribed visit rhythm. When a patient slips off rhythm by 1.5× their expected interval, the engine fires:

1. Same-day SMS — warm, conversational, no urgency language. “Hi Sarah, just checking in — we missed you this week. Reply to book or tap here.” HIPAA-aware (no diagnosis or treatment detail).
2. 24-hour AI call — only if no SMS response. Soft tone, offers 3 booking slots, can transfer to live front desk.
3. 48-hour email — gentle, brand-aligned. Includes a “why visit X matters for your plan” educational nudge appropriate to the patient’s phase.
4. 7-day pause — if still no response, the system stops pinging. No spam. The patient stays tagged as “lapsed” for the next campaign.

What makes the timing smart

A wellness patient who misses one month gets a softer ping than a corrective patient who misses one visit. The same workflow runs both — but the cadence, tone, and education adjust per phase tag. No clinic has to maintain three separate recall systems.

STOP-keyword + consent baked in

Every patient’s TCPA consent is checked before the first message. Anyone who’s replied STOP is excluded automatically. The recall engine is built to be aggressive about results and conservative about consent.

What clinics typically see

Re-engagement rates from a properly tuned automated recall engine typically beat manual phone-call recall by a wide margin — and the front desk reclaims hours per week. The math on a single recovered care plan usually pays for the snapshot many times over.

Setup

Day 1: recall workflows installed, phase tags loaded. Day 2: SMS / email templates tuned to your clinic’s voice + brand. Days 3–15: 10 dedicated hours — phase-specific cadence tuning, educational drip customization, escalation rules.
