Representative scenario: This case study is a composite based on industry benchmarks and typical CaseFlow pilot outcomes. Specific metrics are illustrative. Individual results vary based on specialty, cancellation pattern, and waitlist depth.

What was happening before CaseFlow

A bariatric surgery program had a notoriously high no-show rate driven by pre-op clearance delays. Cases fell through because patients arrived without completed cardiac or pulmonary clearances — known issues, but no system to flag them 72 hours out.

How a typical slot fill played out

T+0
Cancellation received. Case falls out of the schedule.
T+2m
CaseFlow fires. Readiness-weighted waitlist scored in real-time. Top 3 candidates identified. Bilingual SMS sent simultaneously.
T+varies
A sleeve gastrectomy patient missed their pre-op cardiac clearance deadline. CaseFlow's at-risk scoring flagged the case at T-72h, triggered an automated chase, and when the case still fell through, filled the slot from the readiness-scored waitlist in 3.1 hours.
First YES
Slot filled. Avg fill time for this practice: 3.1h. OR schedule protected.
