Keys to the kingdom — unlocking opportunity with practice data

Do you know your practice performance data?

When running a practice, every orthodontist must be not only a doctor, but also a CEO who drives the business forward through operations, marketing, strategy, and goals. With so many departments and moving pieces in a practice, this task can feel daunting. Knowing where to start when it comes to setting goals and telling your team where to focus is the first challenge that not only orthodontists face, but also any business leader. The first place to begin must be understanding current performance, and the only way to know versus guess is to look at your data. Do you track new patient phone calls and marketing dollars? What do you know about your treatment efficiencies and repair rates? What about starts from your observation pool, accounts receivable, or insurance delinquency? Making informed business decisions in a practice is critical to ongoing success, but without understanding your key performance indicators (KPIs), it’s a challenging and risky endeavor.

How are you currently gathering practice data?

Do you have team members pulling reports, creating spreadsheets, and manually entering data points? Or perhaps after hours, you sift through reports provided through your practice management system and analyze the information? Manually gathering all your important practice metrics can be a huge investment of time for you and your team, and it’s immediately outdated. Data must be synthesized and easily digestible in order to gain insights and make the right decisions on where to focus your efforts moving forward. Your time should not be spent gathering data, but instead leveraging automation and tools that give you what you need to quickly determine where to focus resources and where not to.
