Patient No-Show Analytics — Risk Patterns by Appointment Type, Day & Time
An analysis of patient no-show patterns to help healthcare providers predict and reduce missed appointments — the operational problem behind the revenue recovery work.
Using a medical appointment no-show dataset, I identified which appointment types, days, and time slots carry the highest no-show risk, then visualized the patterns as a clear risk profile leadership and scheduling teams can act on.
Key findings: • Specialty visits had the highest no-show rate (24.8%), versus just 9.7% for urgent care • Morning appointments showed 32% lower no-show risk than afternoons • Lead times over 14 days increased no-show probability by 2.1x • Friday afternoons were the consistent peak for patient absences
The takeaway: schedule high-value specialty visits in low-risk morning windows, shorten booking lead times, and target reminders at the highest-risk slots. Built as a risk heatmap and breakdown that turns scheduling data into concrete operational decisions.
