Patient No-Show Rate Calculator accuracy and testing

This page documents how Calwarden builds trust for this calculator: source notes, regression-style default tests, limitations, assumptions, unit handling, rounding, and visible change history.

Formula source

  • No-show rate = no-shows / scheduled appointments x 100. Missed slot rate adds late cancellations.

Test cases

Default input regression check

Generated from the checked-in default inputs and calculate function.

Inputs

  • Scheduled Appointments: 800
  • No-Shows: 40
  • Late Cancellations: 20
  • Average Visit Value: $150

Expected outputs

  • No-Show Rate: 5.00%
  • No-Show + Late Cancel Rate: 7.50%
  • Estimated Lost Visit Value: $9,000.00

Known limitations

  • This page documents the checked-in calculator logic and does not certify results for every real-world edge case.
  • Use the result as a planning estimate unless the calculator page states a stricter purpose.

Assumptions

  • The calculators use simple transparent formulas rather than vendor-specific analytics models.
  • Inputs are processed locally in the browser and are not stored by Calwarden.
  • This is operations planning math, not medical, legal, staffing, billing, or financial advice.

Unit handling

  • Scheduled Appointments accepts numeric values.
  • No-Shows accepts numeric values.
  • Late Cancellations accepts numeric values.
  • Average Visit Value accepts values in $.
  • No-Show Rate is displayed as a percentage.
  • No-Show + Late Cancel Rate is displayed as a percentage.
  • Estimated Lost Visit Value is displayed as currency.

Rounding rules

  • Number displays use up to 2 decimal places in the calculator UI.
  • Currency outputs are displayed with standard US dollar formatting.
  • Percent outputs are displayed with two decimal places.
  • Input precision follows configured step values where provided.
