WEB-BASED PRACTICE TRACKING SYSTEM AVAILABLE NATIONWIDE

The Dental Survey, a Eugene, Oregon, based company has announced the availability of its practice tracking, monitoring and comparison system nation-wide.
The Dental Survey is a web-based statistical tracking, monitoring and comparison system. Available to dentists throughout the Northwest for nearly 30 years, The Dental Survey has been enhanced and expanded, and is now available to consultants and dentists nationally.
Geared exclusively to dental practices, The Dental Survey is a management, statistical and business diagnostic tool for proactively managing the practice on an ongoing basis, which includes:
? Confidential, web-based data input,
? Collation and analysis of data,
? Comprehensive quarterly and annual practice reports,
? Individual and personal quarterly review, and
? Ongoing consulting support.
Reports are provided on a quarterly and annual basis comparing key practice indicators like: production, collection, accounts receivable, hours worked by providers, visits by providers, fees and expenses. Key cost and practice calculations include:
? Collection rate
? A/R to production ratio
? Case acceptance rate
? Overhead percentages
? Overhead margin
? Overhead per hour
? Production per chairside hour
? Margin per chairside hour
? Production per client visit
? Margin per client visit
"Managing the numbers of a practice plays a vital role in the overall success of any practice and requires tracking, monitoring, comparing and understanding vital practice statistics," said company spokesperson Ms. Shari Tastad. "The numbers don’t lie. They are the best and most accurate source to objectively know where a practice is, what’s working, what’s not and whether viable progress is being made," added Ms. Tastad.
Effective practice management with the statistical data is a 4-step process:
1) Establish a plan and budget,
2) Track the actual numbers on an ongoing basis,
3) Compare practice actuals to the plan/budget, and
4) Make adjustments as necessary to meet or exceed the plan.
"With The Dental Survey, dentists nationwide now have a premier tracking, monitoring and comparison, surveying and reporting system at their fingertips for more effective practice management", indicated Tastad.
The Dental Survey:
? Brings an established, easy-to-use, tracking and monitoring system to all dentists,
? Provides a snapshot of the practice in very short order,
? Saves time compiling and calculating practice statistics,
? Quickly evaluates doctor and hygiene hours, client and hygiene visits, provider production per hour, as well as, fee comparisons, and
? Easily analyzes comparable expenses (the expenses that every dental office has) and non- comparable expenses.
