Reducing Did Not Attend (DNA) rates at The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital

Reducing Did Not Attend (DNA) rates at The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital

The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (ROH) started 2017 with a Did Not Attend (DNA) rate of 10.9%. Although below the national average, as a high performing specialist centre the Trust partnered with DrDoctor to improve this further by implementing Appointment Management.

Within nine weeks, the overall DNA rate was reduced to 7.1% (35% improvement) in the clinics where DrDoctor is turned on; the estimated 2019-2020 full year equivalent financial benefit for the Trust is over £100,000. 

To find out more about this collaboration, you can watch our animation and read a case study which describes the onboarding process for DrDoctor’s platform across ROH, the results delivered and the next steps for the partnership.
