Questions this tool helps answer
Why this tool matters
Most diagnostic labs only measure walk-ins, test volume, and maybe Google reviews. The bigger problem usually hides after report delivery: patients who should come back for HbA1c, thyroid, lipid, vitamin, antenatal, or preventive follow-up simply disappear.
This calculator forces that silent retention problem into a rupee number. Once the leakage is visible, automation stops feeling like a software expense and starts looking like a revenue recovery layer.
Inputs to keep honest
Use conservative values. If you are unsure, understate your average order value and overstate your current repeat rate. The output is still useful because it reveals the order of magnitude of the problem.
How lab owners usually act on the result
Once you know the leakage, the next move is not more discounting. The right move is building a disciplined post-report workflow: feedback request, sentiment routing, service recovery, and timed retest reminders.
Frequently asked questions
Is this only for pathology labs?
No. The logic works for diagnostic centers, radiology chains, dental recall workflows, and chronic care clinics. The examples here are written for pathology and diagnostics because that is ReviewsFlow's core market.
What if I don't know my current repeat rate?
Start with a range. Run the calculator at 10%, 20%, and 30%. The spread usually tells you enough to decide whether fixing follow-up should be a top operating priority.
