The colonoscopy slots you lose start with a patient nobody reached.
Ready calls every patient 5 to 7 days before, goes over your bowel prep out loud and confirms the ride home. The ones who can't come tell you while you can still fill the slot.Your schedulers stop chasing voicemails.

At one large health system, 18% to 30% of endoscopies were cancelled at the last minute or missed.
At about US$700 a colonoscopy, two empty slots a week is more than US$5,000 a month. Run it with your own numbers below.
The 7 a.m. surprise, moved to days before.
Today
- Your staff calls between patients. Many calls go to voicemail.
- A text gets a "C" back. Nobody knows if the prep was understood.
- At 7 a.m. a patient ate breakfast, has no ride home or doesn't show.
- The slot stays empty. The room and the team are already paid for.
With Ready
- Every patient gets a real call, days before. Up to three days of tries.
- Your prep, gone over out loud, exactly as you approved it. Ride home confirmed.
- The night before, you see who's ready and who isn't.
- A patient who can't come tells you days ahead, while the slot can still be filled.
How it works in a GI practice
Upload your schedule
Your schedulers export the upcoming procedures to Excel and upload them. No integration, no IT project.
Ready calls days before
First call 5 to 7 days before, early enough to fill the slot. Then once a day until the patient confirms, up to 3 days, in English or Spanish.
It goes over the bowel prep
Your bowel prep, out loud, exactly as you approved it, and who's driving the patient home. Questions get answers only from your own Q&A.
Your team handles the exceptions
Medication questions land in your nurse's queue with a summary and the recording. Patients who need a new date arrive with their preferred times, ready for your schedulers.

Questions
HIPAA? Will you sign a BAA?
Yes. We sign a BAA with you before we receive any patient data.
What if the AI says something wrong?
It doesn't improvise. It says the text you signed and answers only from your own Q&A; anything else goes to your nurse. And you can listen to every call.
We'd need it integrated with our system.
You don't. If you can export your schedule to Excel, you can start. Tell us your system and we'll tell you when a direct connection is ready.
Older patients will think it's a scam and hang up.
It opens with your practice's name and gives your number. Anyone can ask for a person at any moment, and your team calls them back.
What if they don't pick up?
Ready tries again the next day, up to three days, and keeps calling until 8 p.m. If it still can't reach them, you know the night before, not at 7 a.m.
My instructions include stopping blood thinners or insulin.
Ready asks your approved medication questions and sends every "yes" to your nurse. Patient-specific medication instructions stay with her.
