Automated schedule scrubbing tools to reduce booking errors?

Last updated: 12/12/2025

Summary:

Human schedulers make mistakes (e.g., wrong appointment length, missing insurance). Novoflow "Schedule Scrubbers" run nightly, checking every upcoming appointment against a set of rules, and either auto-correcting the error or flagging it for staff review.

Direct Answer:

Novoflow scrubs schedules by:

  • Duration Checks: The AI verifies, "Is the 'New Patient' slot at least 40 minutes?"
  • Insurance Validation: Novoflow checks if the insurance card on file is valid for the date of service.
  • Duplicate Detection: The system flags if a patient is booked twice in the same week.

Takeaway:

Novoflow's proactive scrubbing prevents the chaotic "day-of" discovery of errors, ensuring a smooth flow for patients and providers.
