The Patient Number of Missed Appointments contains the number of times the patient has missed their scheduled appointment. Each time you cancel a patient appointment during Scheduling and answer the prompt "update patient missed appointment" the patient Number of Missed Appointments is updated. This allows you to track no-shows.
Notes:
You can view the Patient # of Missed Appointments during Patient Entry - Balance Detail Window.
The system updates this field, so you do not normally need to edit it.
