Automated ASC Post-Op Recall Reminders

Every morning, WebRun opens HST Pathways, identifies patients whose post-op recall is due in the next seven days, drafts a reminder for each in Gmail for staff to review and send, and logs every patient to the follow-up tracker in Google Sheets.

In short

How do I automate post-op recall reminders for ambulatory surgery center patients?

WebRun opens HST Pathways every morning, finds patients whose post-op recall is due within seven days, drafts a personalized reminder in Gmail for each one, and logs every case to a Google Sheets tracker. All drafts wait for staff review before any message is sent to a patient.

  • No post-op recall appointment falls through the cracks
  • Staff start each day with a ready-to-review Gmail draft for every due patient
  • All recall outreach is logged and timestamped in Google Sheets

Built for ASC clinical coordinators · post-op nursing staff · ambulatory surgery center administrators

Questions, answered

Will WebRun send recall reminders to patients on its own?

No. All patient reminders are saved as Gmail drafts and left unsent for staff to review and approve before any message reaches a patient. No patient communication goes out automatically.

What if a patient already booked a follow-up appointment?

WebRun checks HST Pathways for existing scheduled appointments and skips any patient who already has a follow-up booked, so staff are not reminded to contact patients who are already scheduled.

Does it include protected health information in the drafts?

The drafts use only the minimum necessary details - patient name, procedure type, and recall date. No full medical records or diagnoses are included in the outreach text.

Put this on autopilot.
