Abstract
|
The incorporation of computers into the dental
practice has enabled the dentist and staff to quickly access information
vital to monitoring practice growth and vitality. Despite the fact
this information is available at the click of a mouse, the information
available to the dentist and staff is often ignored. Even if an
effort is made to assess the data, the dental team is clueless on how to
use it to control changing economics in the practice. This is
accomplished by charting statistical data collected by the dentist and
staff. Compilation of this data enables the dentist and staff to
recognize trends that will affect the growth and profitability of the
practice and develop strategies that reinforce positive trends and reverse
negative trends. This paper discusses the value of using data as a
tool for practice management. Keywords: Dental, practice management, statistics, trends Citation: Schwartz S. Managing Practice Statistics for Practice Success. J Contemp Dent Pract 2002 Feb;(3)1: 055-068. |
