# What does the status “Potential No-Show” mean?

## TurnUp helps you predict which appointments are at risk of becoming a no-show. This status is not random—it is generated through an intelligent analysis that assesses the likelihood of patient attendance.

### 📊 How TurnUp classifies appointments

TurnUp makes a distinction between two types of appointments:

- **High-risk appointment =** More than 50% chance of becoming a no-show
- **Low-risk appointment =** 50% or less chance of becoming a no-show

All appointments marked as *potential no-show* are visible in the No-Show module.

### 🧠 How is this status determined?

The **Potential No-Show** status is calculated using an advanced AI model that combines historical data with real-time context.

#### 1. **Historical patient data**

- Appointment history from scheduling and patient management software (e.g. DentAdmin, CareConnect, etc.)
- Previous no-shows or late cancellations
- Confirmation behaviour in past appointments

#### 2. **Real-time contextual factors (22+ data points)**

- Appointment time
- Day of the week
- Type of treatment
- Practice location & distance
- Current traffic conditions
- Weather conditions (rain, heat, snow)
- And many more...

This combined analysis results in a **probability score**. This score indicates how likely it is that a patient will not attend the appointment and allows TurnUp to automatically assign the correct risk level and apply the appropriate follow-up.

### 🎯 Purpose of this status

The Potential No-Show status helps practices to:

- Predict which patients are less likely to attend
- Identify and highlight high-risk appointments
- Trigger timely manual follow-up by the practice

This status works hand in hand with TurnUp’s automated follow-up communication.
