uh, not sure if I'm missing something but this seems to be stating the obvious and trying to make things complicated or perhaps mix things up in reverse?
If someone contacts me about an appointment for tomorrow (or next week or whatev).....
We will set a date, time, and length of appointment. I then give SPECIFIC instructions on how and when to contact me the morning of (or night before if its earlier than 9AM). I will respond with the location and instructions to call me upon arrival for the room number.

So lets say-- you want a noon appointment tomorrow. I'd tell you to PM me NO LATER than 10AM for location information. If I don't hear from you-- I assume you can't make it and I open the time back up in case one of my regulars wants it. I don't call it a NCNS, I don't call it a cancellation. I call it a "shit happens" and we move the fuck along.

Now.. if I wake up and I don't feel well, the first thing I'm going to do is contact you and let you know that I cannot make our planned appointment. That is called a cancellation, and saves both of us from unnecessary time wasting and bullshit.
It really isn't that complicated.
