1) The Core Problem: Drop‑Off After Weeks 4–7

Telehealth-first GLP‑1 programs often lose patients after the initial month. This is rarely a clinical efficacy issue; it is an operational continuity issue. If follow‑ups rely on staff memory, inbox triage, and ad‑hoc scheduling, patients drift. Drift becomes churn; churn eliminates recurring revenue.

Example revenue impact:
10 patients lost/month × $300 membership = $3,000/month → $36,000/year.

Retention must be engineered. In a virtual context, the EHR is the workflow engine. Vozo provides the structure for predictable outreach, refill cadence, and measurable progress.

2) Continuity Model for Virtual GLP‑1 Clinics

Defined Encounter Rhythm

Initial assessment → weekly touchpoints × 4–8 weeks → bi‑weekly or monthly stability visits. Every stage is scheduled in advance and auto‑confirmed via reminders.

Progress Signals

Weight trends, adherence, side‑effect capture, and patient‑reported outcomes form the basis for proactive outreach and escalation rules.

Refill Predictability

Refill visits are booked on a fixed cadence (e.g., every 28–30 days). Missed visits automatically trigger recovery sequences in messaging.

Governance

Provider dashboards surface patients at risk: missed touchpoints, rapid weight plateau, adverse events flagged by triage forms.

3) Telehealth Workflow in Vozo EHR

  1. Intake & Baseline: digital forms (history, meds, contraindications), vitals setup, program consent.
  2. Week 0–1: initial prescribing telehealth visit, education module, next 3 touchpoints pre‑scheduled.
  3. Weeks 2–4: structured check‑ins; side‑effect screening; dose titration decisions documented via macros.
  4. Weeks 4–8: transition from weekly to bi‑weekly touchpoints; establish refill cadence.
  5. Stability Phase: monthly telehealth visits; adherence + nutrition behavioral reinforcement; ongoing refill workflow.

Templates and macros reduce documentation time and standardize decision pathways; role‑based tasks align clinical and support staff.

4) Messaging & Check‑In Cadence

5) Refill Scheduling & Adherence Pathways

Refill predictability is the economic backbone of virtual GLP‑1 care. In Vozo, refill telehealth appointments are booked forward at each visit; missed visits initiate recovery sequences (reminders → chat outreach → alternative slot offering). Automated documentation macros capture titration decisions and adherence notes in under two minutes.

Retention impact: Extending average program duration from 8 → 16 weeks at $300/month effectively doubles membership revenue per patient without increasing acquisition spend.

6) Dashboards, QA & Clinical Governance

7) Billing & Memberships

Virtual programs frequently combine monthly membership billing with telehealth encounters. Vozo supports integrated invoicing/payments, claim creation when applicable, and clear separation of subscription vs visit charges. This simplifies statement communication and reduces financial friction—improving continuation.

8) Implementation Plan (30/60/90)

  • Intake + telehealth templates, macros, and consent artifacts
  • Check‑in cadence design; baseline KPIs defined
  • Pilot with a single provider cohort

Days 31–60

  • Refill scheduling automation and escalation rules
  • Provider dashboards + QA workflows
  • Measurement: adherence, time‑to‑refill, encounter duration

Days 61–90

  • Stability phase cadence; education rhythm
  • Billing/membership reconciliation and exception pathways
  • Scale to full provider panel with standard playbooks

10) Frequently Asked Questions

How does Vozo reduce provider documentation time?

Through standardized templates and macros focused on GLP‑1 decision points (titration, side‑effects, adherence). Notes become structured, faster, and more consistent.

What if patients miss scheduled refill visits?

Missed visits automatically trigger a recovery pathway: reminder → chat outreach → alternative slot proposal → clinical review if still unresolved.

Does Vozo support fully remote programs?

Yes. Vozo includes secure telehealth, portal messaging, scheduling automation, billing/invoicing, and analytics—making it appropriate for fully virtual GLP‑1 practices.
