The Practice Advisor Reports contains a section about Production, Dentist Totals. What important information does this portion of the report provide?
Dentist Totals The report shows the dentists’ production totals.
Dentist Production Dentist Production is the dollar amount of Dentist Production Transactions. The Dentist Production Transactions are the Production Transactions for the providers on the report. (see “How do I run the Practice Advisor report?”) A Production Transaction is a completed procedure.
The report displays the following Dentist Production statistics: • Previous Month – The Dentist Production for the previous month. The percentage (%) in this box is the Dentist Production for the previous month divided by the practice’s Production for the previous month (multiplied by 100 and then rounded to the nearest whole number). • MTD – The Dentist Production since the beginning of the month. The percentage (%) in this box is the Dentist Production since the beginning of the month divided by the practice’s Production since the beginning of the month (multiplied by 100 and then rounded to the nearest whole number). • MTD Benchmark – The production benchmark range tab of the KPI Benchmarks Setup dialog box. • MTD Variance – The MTD minus the average of the MTD Benchmark (see Variance Calculations). • YTD – The Dentist Production since the beginning of the year (fiscal or calendar). The percentage (%) in this box is the Dentist Production since the beginning of the year divided by the practice’s Production since the beginning of the year. • YTD Benchmark – The production benchmark range that is derived from the MTD Benchmark. • YTD Variance – The YTD minus the average of the YTD Benchmark (see Variance Calculations). If a Recommendation icon appears next to a Variance, refer to the Recommendation Footnotes page(s) to read the recommendations on what can be improved or changed.
