Run hygiene recall and patient reactivation
Hygiene recall usually slows down when recall lists, appointment history, treatment notes, patient preferences, and message replies do not tell the same story, or when a patient is overdue for hygiene or has not rebooked after cancellation. Imagine keeps those sources in view, prepares a recall list, message draft, and rebooking recommendation, and separates the ready work from the judgment calls. After review, the approved update goes back to the recall list and patient message thread, so the schedule fills with the right follow-up instead of generic blasts.
The manual reality today
-
01
Too many tabs before hygiene recall can move
recall lists, appointment history, treatment notes, patient preferences, and message replies each hold part of the answer, so the team burns time piecing together what happened before they can respond.
-
02
Hygiene recall can stall until someone notices
When a patient is overdue for hygiene or has not rebooked after cancellation, the next step can sit until someone checks the right queue, thread, portal, or spreadsheet.
-
03
The hygiene recall history is hard to defend
Approvals, notes, and updates end up in side channels, making it hard to tell what was sent, what changed, and who signed off.
How Imagine handles it
-
01
Read the hygiene recall signals
Imagine watches recall lists, appointment history, treatment notes, patient preferences, and message replies for new activity, stale items, and changes that affect the work.
-
02
Separate routine hygiene recall work from judgment
Messages, records, dates, and prior decisions are grouped so the next step starts with the facts already attached.
-
03
Draft the next hygiene recall touch
Imagine drafts a recall list, message draft, and rebooking recommendation using your rules, tone, and thresholds, then flags anything that needs judgment.
-
04
Write the hygiene recall result back
After review, approved actions are recorded in the recall list and patient message thread with the context, approver, and timestamp preserved.

Frequently asked questions
How does Imagine handle hygiene recall?
Imagine watches recall lists, appointment history, treatment notes, patient preferences, and message replies, spots when a patient is overdue for hygiene or has not rebooked after cancellation, and prepares a recall list, message draft, and rebooking recommendation for review. Approved actions sync back to the recall list and patient message thread with the supporting context attached.
What parts of hygiene recall can stay manual?
You decide what can move automatically and what needs review. Anything outside your rules is routed to the responsible person before the recall list and patient message thread is updated.
Which tools feed hygiene recall?
This workflow can connect to systems such as Dentrix, Open Dental, RevenueWell, NexHealth, Weave, Podium. Imagine works on top of those tools instead of replacing the system of record.
How does hygiene recall feel different?
