To **follow up with patients after a procedure using standard checklists**, create a follow-up card automatically when the procedure is completed, attach a checklist with the questions every patient must be asked, and schedule contacts on fixed days.

In **Jestor**, each contact is recorded on the card, and any answer that needs attention is escalated to the responsible professional.

## Why standardize post-procedure follow-up?

When follow-up depends on each professional's routine, some patients get a call the next day and others never hear from the clinic.

A standard checklist makes the experience consistent and ensures that important signs are always asked about, and passed to the right person.

## What problems do follow-up checklists solve?

- Patients who receive no contact after a procedure
- Questions asked differently by each staff member
- Concerns reported by patients that never reach the doctor
- No record that the follow-up happened
- Lower satisfaction and fewer returns

## How do I set up procedure follow-ups in Jestor?

1. **Add an automation** that creates a follow-up card when a procedure is marked as done.
2. **Attach a standard checklist** with the clinic's approved questions.
3. **Define contact days**, such as day 1 and day 7, as tasks on the card.
4. **Contact the patient through WhatsApp** using an approved template, and record replies.
5. **Escalate flagged answers** by moving the card to a "Needs review" phase with the doctor assigned.

| Contact        | Channel             | Goal                            |
| -------------- | ------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| Day 1          | WhatsApp template   | Check how the patient feels     |
| Day 7          | WhatsApp or phone   | Confirm recovery and next steps |
| Flagged answer | Internal escalation | Doctor reviews the case         |

## Who should own the follow-up?

Reception or nursing usually runs the routine contacts, while doctors receive only escalated cases.

Clear ownership on each card avoids duplicate calls and makes sure nothing is left unanswered.

## Why use Jestor for post-procedure follow-ups?

- **Automatic creation**: follow-ups start the moment a procedure is completed.

- **Recorded conversations**: **WhatsApp** messages stay on the card.
