THE CHALLENGE
GLP-1s like Ozempic and Wegovy are now widely used for managing type-2 diabetes and weight loss. But their popularity has revealed a pre-op risk: delayed gastric emptying. One ASC experienced a rise in same-day surgery cancellations when patients unknowingly stayed on these medications, prompting a revamp of their protocols and patient communication.
THE SOLUTION
The facility’s care team introduced a simple but effective solution using Dialog Health: a text sent 10 days before each procedure asked patients if they were taking a GLP-1 medication. Those who replied YES received clear, timely instructions: stop injectables 7 days before, or orals 24 hours before.
This proactive outreach gave patients the guidance they needed ahead of time, significantly reducing last-minute cancellations, anesthesia risks, and hospital admissions.

THE RESULTS
By identifying potential risks early and delivering clear, timely instructions through Dialog Health the facility improved patient preparedness and protected valuable OR time. With rising GLP-1 usage, proactive communication isn’t just helpful, it’s essential.
Over 1.5 years, 12% of patients, or 2,184 people, self-identified as taking a GLP-1. The timely SMS messages meant their procedures could proceed as planned.
Dialog Health is essential for healthcare results—automated workflows and AnalyticsPRO let facilities instantly identify at-risk patients, trigger instructions, and target follow-ups for pain points like GLP-1 no-gos, delivering measurable impact that other texting services can’t match.
