Hygienist Totals
The report shows the hygienists’ production totals.
Hygienist Production
The Hygienist Production is the dollar amount of Hygienist Production Transactions.
The Hygienist Production Transactions are the Production Transactions for the hygienists on the report (see “How do I run the Practice Advisor report?”).
A Production Transaction is a completed procedure.
The report displays the following Hygienist Production statistics:
• Previous Month – The Hygienist Production for the previous month. The percentage (%) in this box is the Hygienist Production for the previous month divided by the practice’s Production for the previous month.
• MTD – The Hygienist Production since the beginning of the month. The percentage (%) in this box is the Hygienist Production since the beginning of the month divided by the practice’s Production since the beginning of the month.
• MTD Benchmark – The production benchmark range from the Production Benchmarks tab of the KPI Benchmarks Setup dialog box.
• MTD Variance – The MTD minus the average of the MTD Benchmark range (see Variance Calculations).
• YTD – The Hygienist Production since the beginning of the year (fiscal or calendar). The percentage (%) in this box is the Hygienist 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.

Hygienist Unfilled Hours
Hygienist Unfilled Hours is the difference of the # of Hygienist Production Days (in minutes) and the Scheduled Time divided by 60 (to get hours and minutes) within a given date range. Events scheduled in the Appointment Book are not taken into consideration (for example, if all operatories have been blocked off for an entire day, those hours will still show up on the report as part of the unfilled hours).
Scheduled Time is the total number of minutes (appointment length) for all scheduled appointments within a given date range.
The report displays the following Hygienist Unfilled Hours statistics:
• Previous Month – The Hygienist Unfilled Hours for the previous month.
• MTD – The Hygienist Unfilled Hours since the beginning of the month.
• YTD – The Hygienist Unfilled Hours since the beginning of the year (fiscal or calendar).
