About the Client
The client is a leading eye care provider with over 500 vision care centers across the United States, offering comprehensive eye exams, eyewear, and specialized treatments. The client was dealing with constant scheduling chaos, unpredictable patient attendance was slowing down productivity, and affecting care delivery.
The Challenge
The client’s existing predictive model just wasn’t cutting it. It couldn’t deliver the accuracy they needed to stay proactive with scheduling or keep operations running smoothly. We helped them move toward a more software-defined, intelligent way of working.
- 24% of confirmed and unconfirmed appointments resulted in missed visits
- Forecasting accuracy remained below 60%, limiting effective planning
- The absence of an AI-based platform meant patient behavior patterns went largely unrecognized, further reducing predictive reliability
The Xoriant Approach
Xoriant stepped in to turn its operations into a more software-defined, data-driven system that could finally keep up. We helped the client adopt an AI-powered framework to accurately anticipate patient no-shows and take preventive action before disruptions occurred. The engagement focused on turning data into predictive intelligence and actionable outreach.
- Predict with precision: Advanced algorithms identified hidden behavioral trends and attendance risks early
- Gain deeper visibility: Integrated key parameters such as appointment history, demographics, and engagement frequency for sharper insights
- Enable proactive response: Automated alerts empowered staff to intervene before no-shows occurred
- Drive better adherence: Personalized reminders and rescheduling nudges encouraged patients to stay on track with their appointments
The Business Impact
By transforming their traditional operations into a more software-defined, intelligence-driven model, the client was finally able to bring predictability and control into a highly dynamic care environment. What started as a struggle with inefficient scheduling and fluctuating patient attendance quickly turned into a data-powered system that improved decision-making, streamlined workflows, and elevated the overall patient experience. Some of the benefits included:
- Enhanced predictive accuracy to 80%, enabling reliable scheduling and better resource utilization
- Improved clinician productivity by 20%, reducing downtime and maximizing appointment slots
- Boosted patient satisfaction and engagement, offering quicker access to open slots and minimizing waiting times
