Friday Telehealth Tip: How to Keep Clients Coming Back and Getting Results


Hi Reader,

Telehealth Tip Friday: How to Keep Clients Coming Back and Getting Results

Patient Retention doesn’t just happen—it’s built through consistent, and sometimes technology powered, actions.

Here are three simple ways to use tools to boost client success and keep your schedule full:

1️⃣ Automated Appointment Reminders
Reduce no-shows and help clients stay consistent. Most Telehealth platforms or EHRs can automatically send reminders by text or email 24 hours and 1 hour before each session. Our data shows the best results come from reminders the day before, morning of and 10 minutes before if meeting via Zoom.

2️⃣ Between-Session Check-Ins
A quick, secure text message or short questionnaire midweek can make clients feel supported and help you catch early signs of disengagement. Many providers use these check-ins to keep clients on track with goals and action steps between sessions.

3️⃣ Track & Share Progress
Clients stay motivated when they can see improvement. Use symptom trackers, wellness assessments, or even brief notes summarizing progress over time. The visual data helps clients understand their growth and reinforces the value of your care.

Small systems like these create trust, accountability, and lasting results—both for your clients and your business.

→ Action Step:
Pick one of the three to implement (or improve) this week and track your retention rates over the next 30 days.

New Post! From Burnout to Balance: How Clinicians Can Take Back Control of Their Practice Most physicians, therapists, and health professionals didn’t go to school to learn about billing systems, EHR integrations, or patient scheduling tools. They went to learn how to help people. But when your day-to-day is filled with admin work, frozen video calls, and tech that doesn’t talk to each other, it’s easy to feel like your practice is running you — not the other way around. After more than a...

Hi Reader, Telehealth Tip Friday — AI Clinical Notes If you’re testing AI for documentation, start simple: Pick one visit type — your most common, like a 50-minute therapy session.

Pro tip: If you're adding AI clinical notes to your practice, add a short note to your intake packet explaining that an AI assistant may help draft...
