Feedback intelligence for allied health clinics

Hear what patients don’t say at reception.

YaYfi connects with Cliniko, follows up after the appointments you choose and brings private patient feedback, practitioner context and Google reputation trends into one clear view.

For Cliniko practice owners who know silence after an appointment is not the same as satisfaction.

The quiet signal

A small concern appears before it becomes a public surprise.

Private feedback stays visible to the clinic for appropriate follow-up.

It is 6:12 pm. The last patient has left, the treatment rooms are quiet, and the only feedback from a full day is one hurried “thanks” at the desk.

You know the team worked hard. What you do not know is who felt genuinely cared for, who left confused, which practitioner deserves specific recognition, or whether the same small frustration is happening again.

Most patient experience is invisible because asking is inconsistent. Reception is busy. Practitioners move to the next appointment. Public Google reviews tell only the part a few people choose to post.

YaYfi makes the follow-up routine, then returns the answer with enough context to make it useful—not another anonymous score floating in a spreadsheet.

Three views of the patient experience

Private truth. Public reputation. The context in between.

YaYfi is most useful when these signals sit together and each is interpreted for what it can—and cannot—tell you.

01

Private patient feedback

Patients can rate the experience and leave a private comment. The clinic can review the response with the relevant appointment and practitioner context where available.

  • Recognise specific care experiences
  • Notice repeated service friction
  • Follow up through normal clinic processes
02

Google review visibility

See public review totals, ratings and activity alongside the private feedback picture. Google reviews remain public posts controlled by the patient and Google.

  • Track star distribution and activity
  • Search imported public review records
  • Avoid treating reviews as the whole story
03

Patient Experience Index

The Patient Experience Index (PXI) turns accumulated patient ratings into transparent clinic and practitioner trends, including authorised internal comparisons once each result meets the minimum sample.

How YaYfi works

From completed appointment to something the clinic can use.

The clinic controls the rules. YaYfi handles the repeatable follow-up.

  1. 01

    Connect Cliniko

    Authorise YaYfi with a Cliniko API key and bring the clinic, practitioner, patient and appointment context needed for follow-up into one workflow.

  2. 02

    Choose appointments

    Select appointment types, timing and contact frequency. Cancelled, deleted and did-not-arrive appointments stay out of the workflow.

  3. 03

    Send the request

    YaYfi personalises and sends the clinic-configured SMS, then records available send and delivery information.

  4. 04

    Read the signal

    Private ratings and comments appear with context; public Google review activity can be monitored separately.

The patient story in one view

Less chasing. More of what patients are trying to tell you.

Connect the appointment, the follow-up and the response so your team can spend less time piecing the story together—and more time deciding what to do with it.

  • Cliniko connectionUses Cliniko’s official REST API through a clinic-supplied API key.
  • Configurable SMS workflowAppointment type, delay, message and contact-frequency rules are configurable.

Founding clinic access

Before we open the doors wider, a few clinics get a seat at the table.

YaYfi is beginning with a small first group of Cliniko clinics—not a crowd. We’ll work closely with each practice to test the setup, workflow and support experience before public trial and subscription pricing goes live.

Your next full clinic day will come and go whether you hear what those patients thought or not. If YaYfi sounds like a fit, tell us now. When early-access capacity is reached, later clinics may need to wait for the next stage.

Questions clinic owners ask

Straight answers before you connect anything.

Is YaYfi part of Cliniko?

No. YaYfi is an independent service that connects through Cliniko’s official API after an authorised clinic user supplies an API key. YaYfi is not sponsored or endorsed by Cliniko.

What does YaYfi use from Cliniko?

YaYfi uses the clinic, practitioner, appointment type, patient contact and appointment information needed to run the configured feedback workflow. Clinical notes are not part of this workflow.

What is private patient feedback?

It is a rating and optional comment the patient shares privately with the clinic through the YaYfi feedback page. Unlike a public Google review, it is available only to authorised clinic users for appropriate review and follow-up.

What is the Patient Experience Index?

PXI summarises patient-reported experience over time and allows authorised clinics to compare eligible clinic and practitioner results once the minimum response threshold is met.

How does the Google review option work?

After submitting private practitioner feedback, every eligible patient is also offered the same optional choice to leave a Google review. The Google review is a separate public action controlled by the patient and Google.

Can we control who receives a message?

Yes. Choose the appointment types, delay and contact frequency that suit your clinic. You control the complete SMS, including the sender, contact details and any required opt-out wording. Before switching it on, your clinic previews and tests the patient journey.

Is YaYfi an emergency or complaints service?

No. It is not continuously monitored, does not provide medical advice and must not replace a clinic’s normal patient-safety, complaints or emergency processes.

Can we cancel and delete the account?

Yes. Clinics can manage a paid subscription through the billing portal and request account or patient-data deletion. The applicable cancellation, billing and refund terms are provided before a clinic agrees to proceed, and the Privacy Policy explains how deletion is handled.

For your next clinic day

Tomorrow’s appointments will happen whether you hear from those patients or not.

Bring your current feedback process. We’ll map where YaYfi fits—and where it does not.
