## What it calculates

- Monthly revenue lost to missed appointments, from your appointment volume, no-show rate and average visit value.
- The share of that loss automated SMS reminders could plausibly recover.

## Why it matters here

Missed follow-up in Ethiopian chronic-care clinics is the norm rather than the exception — 39.2% of hypertensive patients across four South Gondar hospitals were non-adherent to appointment follow-up. See [the research note on missed appointments](https://www.medicine.et/research/missed-appointments) for the measured figures and their limits.
