Daily Journal Detail
With just a few clicks in Denticon, your front office can access the daily journal detail report to analyze the overall production of your practice that day. With this report, your team can ensure that all scheduled patients were seen, and that every transaction was recorded. This report can be filtered by services, payments, and adjustments. Also, it covers all procedures itemized by patient, and shows a recap of all charge estimates by patient and insurance.
Claims Not Created
A critical part of claims processing is quickly creating and submitting accurate claims, so you are reimbursed as soon as possible. This report reveals any claims that your staff missed. Using this report daily will prevent your practice from receiving an EOB that denies a claim because of a failure to file in a timely manner.
Uncollected Copay Report
Collecting copays upfront is more efficient and secure than sending statements after your patients leave your office. This report shows which patients didn’t pay their copay, and which front desk staff member didn’t collect.
Dentilytics Basic
Consistently emphasizing KPIs keeps your team accountable and goal oriented. Dentilytics Basic’s dashboard was built specifically for morning huddles. It is a graphical representation of how your practice is trending towards important goals. It provides helpful metrics that highlight areas of improvement, showcases success, and underlines potential treatment opportunities. There are four main components in the Dentilytics Basic dashboard.
Overall Performance
The top row of the dashboard displays metrics analyzing the overall performance of the current month so far. It is a quick breakdown of production, number of new patients, and number of patients who received continuing care.
Yesterday’s Performance
The metrics in this tab visualize your team’s production and patient volume from the previous day. With this information, you can use your morning huddle to celebrate your team’s achievements, and highlight areas for improvement.
Today’s Schedule
The metrics found in this tab highlight immediate production goals, clinical information, and potential treatment & collection opportunities. Here are a few metrics that are particularly helpful to your morning huddle:
- Outstanding Accounts Receivable of Today's Patients & Pending Treatment $ of Today's Scheduled Continuing Care Exams: These metrics show all outstanding balances and pending payments from patients with appointments that day. By highlighting this data in the morning huddle, your staff will be mindful of collecting payments throughout the day.
- SRP Opportunities: Shows which patients that have not had scaling and root planing in over 24 months, which reminds staff to encourage patients to schedule an appointment during their visit.
