The room sits empty at three in the afternoon
The appointment was booked three weeks ago, the patient never showed up, and no one called to say they wouldn't be coming. The practitioner's time is gone, the waiting list is still waiting, and the revenue for that slot disappears with no way to get it back.
With Farol: Automatic SMS and email reminders that patients confirm with a single tap — and anyone who doesn't confirm is flagged in time for reception to give them a call.
Reminders with confirmationThe consent form is somewhere in that folder
A patient asks for a copy of the consent form they signed last year, and someone has to spend half an hour digging through filing cabinets. Once it turns up, there's no record of when it was signed or which version of the text the patient actually read.
With Farol: The patient signs digitally before the appointment and the document is attached to their record, with the date, time and the exact version of the text they signed.
Signed consent formsScans and lab results scattered across inboxes
The imaging report landed in the receptionist's inbox, the blood test results came in over WhatsApp, and the referral letter is printed in the paper file. By the next appointment, the practitioner spends the first few minutes piecing the history back together instead of focusing on the patient.
With Farol: Every patient file lives in the record, sorted by date and ready to open during the appointment.
Attachments in the recordEveryone can see everything, and no one knows who saw what
In practice, the same login is shared by reception, physiotherapy and psychology. There's no way to show, if it's ever needed, who looked at a particular record or when a clinical note was changed.
With Farol: Access profiles set by role, with an audit trail of every appointment view and record change.
