Questions clinics ask

Usually not. A cancellation with notice gives you time to refill the chair. Count only visits where the patient did not come and did not tell you.

No. It is an estimate from the numbers you enter. Some missed slots get filled by walk-ins, and some treatments are worth more than others.
