Automated Nephrology Recall Reminders

Every morning, WebRun opens Acumen and finds CKD, ESKD, and transplant patients whose recall appointment or lab recheck falls due in the next seven days. It drafts an SMS reminder via Twilio for each, holds them for staff approval, and logs the outreach queue in Google Sheets.

In short

How do I automatically send recall reminders to nephrology patients?

Every morning, WebRun scans Acumen for CKD, ESKD, and transplant patients with unbooked recalls due in the next seven days. It logs each patient in a Google Sheets queue, drafts a Twilio SMS, and holds every message for staff approval before sending, so no patient is contacted without human sign-off.

  • Recall gaps are caught seven days early, before patients become overdue
  • Staff review a pre-built queue instead of hunting for due recalls manually
  • No patient SMS leaves the system without staff sign-off

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will reminder texts go out to patients automatically?

No. WebRun stages the SMS drafts in Twilio and flags them in Google Sheets as awaiting approval. A staff member must mark each row as Approved before any message is released to the patient.

How does it avoid double-contacting a patient?

It checks both the Acumen schedule for existing confirmed appointments and the outreach log for contacts in the past 48 hours, so no patient receives duplicate reminders.

Which recall types does it cover?

It covers any recall or follow-up flag set in Acumen, including CKD lab rechecks, post-transplant follow-ups, dialysis adequacy reviews, and routine nephrology visits.
