About this trial

This study aims to evaluate the impact of reminder call intervention on no-shows for urologic procedures in patients identified to be high risk for no-showing. Patients scheduled to undergo a urologic procedure will be randomized into two groups: the intervention group, who receives a series of reminder calls and text messages about appointment details and patient questions prior to the procedure date; and the control group, who receives standard care only. Secondary outcomes include rates of patient re-scheduling and healthcare utilization.

Preoperative Outreach
Behavioral
Participants will receive enhanced preoperative outreach consisting of reminder phone calls 7 days, 3 days, 1 day, and on the day of their scheduled urologic procedure, in addition to standard care. Calls will review appointment details, address patient questions, assess barriers to attendance, provide text-based communication access, and facilitate referral to social work when appropriate.
