Like it or not, we live in a data driven world and dental practices are no exception. Practice consultants and experts produce and promote programs and analytics that generate hundreds of metrics for every imaginable aspect of a dental practice. This session is designed to provide a digestible and relatable overview of a handful of key performance measures. Further, we’ll review and discuss the “numbers behind that numbers” that will include so much more! Join this Front Desk Focused Breakout in the morning and then join the main session after lunch.
Course Objectives
- How are these metrics actually calculated? What variables are needed?
- What exactly are they intended to measure?
- What makes them “key”? Why are they important?
- What are the key contributing factors?
- What can be done to affect them? How do you move them in the right direction.
