Context and how to use this

DNA rate is DNA count divided by scheduled appointments in a window. Definitions vary on same-day cancels—document yours.

Trend analysis beats one-off percentages for spotting reminder or deposit experiments.

Common questions

Telehealth DNAs?
Include if they consume a slot you could have sold; exclude if your policy treats them differently.
Is this clinically sensitive?
It is an operational metric, not patient commentary. Aggregate reporting only.
