Cancels (Analytics Report)

Cancels is an Analysis Grid Style report that helps you better understand when and why patients cancel appointments. In addition, you can track Case Cancels, determine if your appointment reminder approach is effective, and help facilitate adherence to company cancellation policies. This information pulls directly from the WebPT Scheduler. If your company does not use the Scheduler, you won’t find value in this report.

Note: If an appointment is added to the calendar with an initial status of "Cancelled", this will not populate in the report and will also not populate as a note in the patient's case.

You can locate this report in the Cancels and No Shows section of Reports in Analytics. If you do not see the report listed in this section, ensure that you have the correct Analytics Access permission.
