The purpose of this report is to assist the dental clinic with daily planning of work/treatment.
This report contains 13 columns, some with specific information collected from within Dental4Windows and some requiring manual input.
The report can be accessed from two locations:
Location Management > Reports tab > Group: Business Intelligence Module OR
Appointment book > Reports menu
Open the report from one of the above locations, but do not run the report
Click Report Settings
Within the report settings box, specify the item number/s used for certain procedures, the recall set to use in the report and create 4 personalized columns. Column E - H are for manual input when printed.
This report can be found in two locations:
Patient details | The appointed patient’s name (showing Preferred Name if it exists in place of First Name) and some other relevant details such as Card#, DOB, age and account balance. |
Today’s Treatment | Treatment planned today for that patient – items linked from D4W Treatment Plan to that appointment. (Item, tooth number and surfaces will be shown if entered in Treatment plan). If no items linked, this field is empty. |
Appointment Notes | Appointment provider code and start time of appointment are shown here. If the appointment has additional information in the Notes field, it will show here as well. |
Alerts | Patient’s active alert, as well as any content in Medical History, Dental History, Allergies Present and Medical Condition Present fields will be shown in this column. |
Bleach/Complete/Lab In/Referral | These 4 columns are personalized in Report Settings. User will tick here on the printout. No data can be extracted from D4W to fill in these columns automatically. |
Outstanding Treatment | D4W will look into the most recent active plan in the patient’s Treatment Plan tab, and display any incomplete item/s (with tooth number and surfaces if relevant) here. Also shown here are Phase (P) and Visit (V) of the items. If visit = ?, no visit number will be shown. If the patient has another appointment in the future (a day greater than today), the appointment’s provider, date, day, time and linked treatment plan items will be shown under NEXT APPT section in this column. |
Status Exam | Information shown in this column follows the Report Settings. Below explanations follow the Report Settings shown above in ‘Setup Report’. LAST COMP EXAM: Last date item 011 was entered in Treatment tab LAST PERIODIC EXAM: Last date item 012 was entered in Treatment tab LAST X-RAY: Last date item 022 was entered in Treatment tab LAST APPT DATE: Last date any treatment item was entered in Treatment tab |
Date of next Hygiene Appt | Definition of a hygiene appt is based on the items setup in the Report Settings > Hygiene Items. Below explanations follow the Report Settings shown above in ‘Setup Report’. NEXT HYG APPT ACTUAL: The next appointment with any hygiene items linked from treatment plan. The appointment’s date, day, time and the linked item(s) will be shown in this section. If a hygiene appointment was booked without linking the hygiene items, no appointment will be shown. NEXT HYG APPT DUE: The date shown here is the expected due date calculated by the system based on patient’s last hygiene date, plus the recall period in patient’s card for the recall type in Report Setting > Recall Set to use. E.g. if the last date one of the hygiene items entered in the patient’s Treatment tab was 06/03/2019, the patient is on the Recall Reminder Set, and in this patient’s card the recall period of this recall type was 6 months, 06/09/2019 will be the NEXT HYG APPT DUE date; however, in Patient Details the Recall Date may be different. If the patient is not on the recall type selected in Report Settings, nothing will be shown. RECALL PERIOD: The recall period in patient’s card for the recall type specified in Report Setting. If the patient is not on this recall type, no RECALL PERIOD will be shown. |
Personal Details | General information about this patient. It is extracted from Patients tab > Insurance/Various sub-tab > Personal Details. |
Family Members | If this patient is part of a family, the other members’ PREFERRED NAME(s) (if no PREFERRED NAME(s) then FIRSTNAME(s)) will be shown. For each of these members, information for column ‘Date of next Hygiene Appt’ will be shown after their names if available. If more than one family member, they will be sorted by age. |
To report on groups of items, Setup Procedure Classifications for Reporting. Procedures Classification shows groups of item numbers, for example all items starting with 0 are within the “Items used 000” group. Users can create their own groups too.
Insurance Fund | Shows a list of the insurance funds selected to be reported on. Any non- Payment Solutions link accounts processed in the period will show in the <None> category. |
Provider | Lists the provider’s selected to be reported on. |

Disc % this Period | Calculates the % discount between the 2 values ‘Original Total Invoiced’ and ‘Discounted Total Invoiced’. |
% of Total this Period | Calculates the % of the fees ($) compared to the overall total. |
YTD Columns | The calculations are the same as previous columns, however based on the Year to Date. |
Last YTD Columns | The calculations are the same as previous columns, however based on last Year to Date. |
The report is for the whole practice (clinic-location) or by provider of a practice in that location.
Based on the selection of parameters, some options may be disabled (grey). The below covers all options.
Each indicator is explained below the images.
Clinical Hours | Appointment book hours assigned as clinical work time Indicator based on:
Example A: Start Time: 9am, Finish Time: 5pm Appointments are scheduled in all hours, except 1hr for lunch (work time = no), Clinical Hours = 7hrs
Example B: Start Time: 9am, Finish Time: 5pm Appointments are scheduled in all hours, except 1hr for lunch (work time = no), the last patient checked out at 5.30pm, Clinical hours = 7.5hrs |
Gross Production | The total value ($$) of Items recorded in Treatment When an item number is entered in the Treatment tab with a fee it will be added to the gross production calculation. An invoice or payment does not have to be processed for it to be included in the gross production; unaccounted treatment items will be included also. This calculation relies on the amount recorded under the treatment tab in the fee field, no discounts or refunds will affect it. |
Net Production | The total value ($$) of Items recorded in Treatment When an item number is entered in the Treatment tab with a fee it will be added to the gross production calculation. An invoice or payment does not have to be processed for it to be included in the gross production; unaccounted treatment items will be included also. This calculation relies on the amount recorded under the treatment tab in the fee field, no discounts or refunds will affect it. |
Net Production | The total value ($$) of invoices minus any refunds or discounts Example: Total value Invoices involving Provider 1 = $10000 Total value of Discounts involving Provider 1 = $400 Total Value of Refunds involving Provider 1 = $100 Net Production for Provider 1= $9500 |
Net Production per Clinic Hour | Net Production (KPI #3) / (divide by) Clinical Hours (KPI #1) Example: Net Prod Provider 1= $9500, Clinical hour’s Provider 1 = 200, Net Prod / Clinical Hrs = $47.50 |
Direct Costs (DC) | Expense values as recorded in the treatment tab next to treatment items These expenses (e.g. Lab Expenses) have their own date values (payment date) separate from the items date. Double click in the Expenses field in the Treatment tab to access the History of Expenses box. The date under Payment Date is when this expense will be shown as a direct cost on the report. |
DC as a % | Direct costs (KPI #5) / Net Production (KPI #3) x 100 Example: (DC 150/ Net Prod 9500) x 100 = 1.58% |
Net Prod - DC | Net Production (KPI #3) minus Direct costs (KPI #5) Example: Net Prod $9500 – DC $150 = $9350 |
(Net Prod - DC) per Clinic Hour | (Net Production – Direct Costs (KPI #7) / (divide by) Clinical Hours (KPI #1) Example: $9350 / $200 = $46.75 |
Patients Seen | The count of how many patients a provider has treated in that period Reliant on:
Example: If the same patient is seen 3 times in a day (same day) at separate times, this is counted as 3. Consider it as number of appointments attended; it’s not a unique count. It doesn’t matter if it is new or existing patients. |
Patients Seen per Work Day | Patients Seen (KPI #9) / (divide by) Work Days Example: Provider 1, 128 patients seen, 18 work days that month: 128 /18 = 7.11 Work days are calculated from the Appointment Book and are those not marked as a holiday that will be included. To ensure this calculation is correct setup appointment book templates so days not working are marked as a holiday. |
New Patients Seen | A count of new patients seen per month A patient is calculated as a new patient when at least one item number is entered to the Treatment tab for the first time. When the first item number is added to Treatment, this also automatically populates the first seen date in the Patients tab. |
New Patients Seen per Work Day | New Patients Seen (KPI #11) / (divide by) Work Days Work days are calculated based on what you have setup in the appointment book. To ensure this calculation is correct setup appointment book templates so days not working are marked as a holiday. |
Spare Appointment Hours % | The percentage of unused (Spare) clinical work hours A percentage is calculated based on unused/unbooked time. Any breaks or preset slots marked as Work Time = No, will not be calculated. Use of the Checked In feature is required for appointments to be counted as used time. The white (unused) time in an appointment book should be due to inability to book a patient. |
Average Appt Treatment Time | The average length in minutes of each appointment The duration (in minutes) of each appointment can be determined from the Check In and Checkout times. The total of all durations are divided by the total number of appointments (attended) to get the average. Example: Appt 1 Check in time = 10:00AM, Checkout time = 11:00AM, appointment treat time = 60 min Appt 2 Check in time = 11:00AM, Checkout time = 11:30AM, appointment treat time = 30 min Appt 3 Check in time = 11:30AM, Checkout time = 12:30PM, appointment treat time = 60 min Average treat time = (60+30+60) / 3 = 50min. |
Average Appt Wait Time | The average length in minutes a patient was waiting to be seen The duration (in minutes) of each wait time can be determined from the difference of the Arrived and Checked In times. The total of all wait time is divided by the total number of appointments (attended) to calculate the average. Example: Appt 1 Appointed time 10AM, Arrived time = 10AM, Check in time = 10:05AM, Wait time = 5 min Appt 2 Appointed time 11AM, Arrived time = 10:50AM, Check in time = 11AM, Wait time = 0 min Appt 3 Appointed time 11:30AM, Arrived time = 11:35AM, Check in time = 11:45 AM, Wait time = 10 Average treat time = (5+0+10) / 3 = 5min |
Appt Fail to Attend | The count of patients that have the Failed To Attend Status in their appointment All appointments for the month that have the Appointment Status: FTA If the same patient cancels within the same month the KPI- 01 will count as 1 cancellation. |
FTA per Work Day | The average number of FTA’s per work day Example: FTA count = 10, Work days = 20, FTA per work day is 10/20 = 0.5 |
Appt Unable to Attend | The count of patients that have the unable to attend Status in their appointments All appointments for the month that have the Appointment Status: UTA |
UTA per Work Day | The average number of UTA’s per work day Example: UTA count = 5, Work days = 20, UTA per work day is 5/20 = 0.25 |
Treatment Plan Value | The total ($$) value in Treatment Plans created in this period (active Plans only) There are two areas of the Treatment Plan tab this refers to
|
Treatment Plan Value per Patient | The average treatment plan value per patient created in this period (month) The months Treatment Plan Value (KPI #20) / divided by the number of patients with Active Treatment Plans created in the same period. If the same patient has more than 1 plan in the same period (month), those plans are totaled then averaged for that patient. Example A: January 2019, 100 patients were seen, however only 11 patients had plans created, one plan was marked Inactive, the total value of Active plans was $10000, the average is 10000/10 = $1000.00 Example 2: February 2019, 3 patients had plans created, one of these patients had 2 plans created, and all plans were Active. Pat 1: Plan A Value = $1000 Pat 2: Plan B Value = $500 Pat 3: Plan C Value = $2000 Plan D Value = $750 Treatment Plan Average value per patient = (1000+500+ ((2000+750) / 2)) / 3 = (1000+500+1375) / 3 = $2875 |
Percentage Treatment Plans Completed | Percentage of treatment plans completed relative to the number that were created in that period Example: 100 new plans were created in this period and 60 plans were completed (completed from this period and/or old plans from past periods), then the % completed is 60%. It is possible that more plans can be completed than created for the same period, e.g. 110% |
Treatment Without a Plan | Work done (treatment) without the existence of a related treatment plan This is conditional on the following:
Example: A patient has treatment done in the Treatment tab; these items are not linked to any plans. System determines whether to include them in the measure or exclude these. |
Pay on the Day % | Percentage of invoices paid in full on the same day as invoice was created When a patient is invoiced and pays 100% of the invoice on the same date as treatment. Also if there is a full payment for an old outstanding invoice on this day (period), then that is counted as well. This means that the “Pay on the day %” is possible to exceed 100% Example: Pat 1 on 1/12/18 an invoice is raised for $100, and is paid on 1/12/18 $100 (100% paid) Pat 2 on 1/12/18 an invoice is raised for $200 and is paid on 1/12/18 $150 (part paid) Pat 2 on 1/12/18 an invoice is raised for $300 and nothing is paid on 1/12/18, but is paid on 2/12/18 $300 Pay on the day % = 33.33% (1 out of 3 invoices are 100% paid on the day) |
What Patients Owe | The value of all unpaid invoices (due or not) for that provider at the end of that month Bad debts are excluded. |
Percentage of Pat Reappointed | A percentage of appointments attended that made another appointment Each unique patient will have checked out with (or without) another appointment scheduled. A patient is recognised as reappointed when there is a time and date specified in the same Appointment Book. If the secondary appointment (reappointed), is booked in the same Appointment Book the report calculates the percentage against that Appointment Book. Example: 200 unique patients in a month with appointments attended and 50 of them re-appoint in the same appointment book. 50 divided by 200 = 0.25 = 25% If the secondary appointment is for a different Appointment Book the report calculates the percentage against the Location. |
Active Patients | A count of unique active patients over the last 18 Months An Active Patient is any patient who has had treatment performed (item/s added to Treatment tab) in the last 18 months. Ensure non-treatment item numbers (e.g. FTA) marked as non-treatment so those patients are not calculated. |
Net Prod per Active Patient | Net Production (KPI #3) / divided by Active patients (KPI #27) Example: Provider 1, Net Production = $9500, Active Patients = 1000, then 9500/1000 = 9.5 |
Attrition Rate | Percentage of unique patients seen in a one month period 18 months ago that don’t appear in the appointment book since that month Example: October 2018, Prv 1 patients seen: 344 212 patients from Feb 2018 were seen again April 2019, Prv 1 attrition rate: 344 – 212 = 132 When the attrition rate is calculated in the KPI-01 report for an individual provider, we report on those persons individual attrition rate irrespective of the fact that a patient may have seen another provider. When the attrition rate is calculated for the whole clinic, we report on that clinics overall attrition rate and don’t consider the individual providers. (As if the whole clinic was operating as one provider.) |
Items Usage by Group | The item usage section calculates the percentage of each group of items that were used in that period.
This section describes (as a percentage) the financial involvement of those groups of items as a percentage of the whole. When items are considered, it is irrespective of whether they are a part of an invoice or not. The items are grouped in default categories but can be customised by the user. |
Fee Type Net Production by % | The Net Production in % figure from invoices of patients who are on the specified fee levels. |
Fee Type Net Production by Amount | The Net Production in $$ figure from invoices of patients who are on the specified fee levels. |
Fee Type Net Production by Count | The Net Production is a count (of patients) from invoices of patients who are on the specified fee level(s). |
Fund Type Net Production by % | The Net Production in % figure from invoices of patients who are on the specified Insurance Fund(s). I.e. total of Invoice = $ 100, health fund A paid $80 the report will show 80% for health fund A 80% and 20 % for <NONE> |
Fund Type Net Production by Amount | The Net Production in $$ figure from invoices of patients who are on the specified Insurance Fund(s). |
Fund Type Net Production by Count | The Net Production is a count (of patients) from invoices of patients who are on the specified Insurance Fund(s). |
Totals / Average Column | Depending on the measure, the system calculates a Total or Average. On the matter of averages, it is the average of the overall results, not just the average of each individual month. I.e. for patients seen per day, the YTD column should be the total patients seen divided by the number of days worked, NOT the average of each month’s result (the 2 approaches can give different results) |
Location YTD (Year to Date) Average | This column serves as a comparison of this provider’s average figure versus the average figures of the whole (all active providers) of that practice location. |
The report is a summary report and pools data from a variety of areas of D4W/PSS and combines them into one report. There are 11 KPI’s measured, and each KPI can be shown as a graph or figure.
Each indicator is explained below the images.
Clinical Hours | Appointment book hours assigned as clinical work time Indicator based on:
|
Production | The total value ($$) of Items recorded in Treatment When an item number is entered in the Treatment tab with a fee it will be added to the gross production calculation. An invoice or payment does not have to be processed for it to be included in the gross production; unaccounted treatment items will be included also. This calculation relies on the amount recorded under the treatment tab in the fee field, no discounts or refunds will affect it. |
Production per Hour | Production (KPI #2) / (divide by) Clinical Hours (KPI #1) Example: Production provider 1= $9500, Clinical hour’s provider 1 = 200, Net Prod / Clinical Hrs = $47.50 |
New Patients Seen | A patient is calculated as a new patient when at least one item number is entered to the Treatment tab for the first time. When the first item number is added to Treatment, this also automatically populates the first seen date in the Patients tab. |
Collection % | Payments Collected / (divide by) Production (KPI #2) x 100 This measure will only report on payments that are allocated to treatment, no unallocated deposits will be considered. Unallocated deposits will not be calculated. |
Percentage of Patients Reappointed | A percentage of appointments attended that made another appointment Each unique patient will have checked out with (or without) another appointment scheduled. A patient is recognised as reappointed when there is a time and date specified in the same book. If the secondary appointment (reappointed), is booked for the same provider, the report calculates the percentage against that provider. If the secondary appointment is for a different provider the report calculates the percentage against location. Example: 200 unique patients that month in the appt book and 50 of them re-appointed in the same appointment book, 50 divided by 200 = 0.25 = 25% |
Amount Paid per Unique Patient Seen in the Past 6 Months | Payments collected ($$) amount / Work Days of last 6 months This measure will only report on payments that are allocated to treatment, no unallocated deposits will be considered. Work days are calculated from the Appointment Book and are those not marked as a holiday that will be included. To ensure this calculation is correct setup appointment book templates so days not working are marked as a holiday. Example: Provider 1, 128 patients seen, 18 work days that month: 128 /18 = 7.11 |
Average Appt Time Min | The average length in minutes of each appointment The duration (in minutes) of each appointment can be determined from the Check In and Checkout times. To edit missed entries, go to Appointment Book > Options menu > Appointment Time Data Example: Appt 1 = Check in time = 10:00AM, Checkout time = 11:00AM, appointment treat time = 60 min Appt 2 = Check in time = 11:00AM, Checkout time = 11:30AM, appointment treat time = 30 min Appt 3 = Check in time = 11:30AM, Checkout time = 12:30PM, appointment treat time = 60 min Average treat time = (60+30+60) / 3 = 50min |
Active Patients | A count of unique active patients over the last 18 Months An active patient is any patient who has had treatment performed (item/s added to treatment tab) in the last 18 months. Ensure any non-treatment item numbers (e.g. FTA) marked as non-treatment so those patients are not calculated. |
Number of Key Items Done per Last 100 Patients | Count of important items as defined by user User can select from a list of item number which they consider important and wish to include in this measure (see setup section of this article). The report will then count the amount of times (as a whole) that these key items have been performed in the period. |
Attrition Rate | Percentage of unique patients seen in a one month period 18 months ago that don’t appear in the appointment book since that month Example: October 2009, Prv 1 patients seen: 344 212 patients from Feb 2009 were seen again April 2011, Prv 1 attrition rate: 344 – 212 = 132 When the attrition rate is calculated for an individual provider, we report on those persons individual attrition rate irrespective of the fact that a patient may have seen another provider. When the attrition rate is calculated for the whole clinic, we report on that clinics overall attrition rate and don’t consider the individual providers. (As if the whole clinic was operating as one provider.) |
This report compares and counts items done Provider to Provider.
The report can compare based on Professions, set in the Providers
tab.
The report will show each item number and Provider included, with a total quantity of times items were completed, and a total for all Providers.
This report compares and counts items done Location to Location. This report is still useful even if there is only one location as you can divide report by each provider. Count of what items were done at each location. And an overall count of items done is also included in report.
The report will show each item number and Provider included, with a total quantity of times items were completed, and a total for all Providers.
The purpose of this report is to help analyse the items in the Treatment Plan tab. The report is used to summarise the number of New, Completed, and Incomplete Treatment Plans in a period.
Plan Type: New
For a treatment plan to be counted as New, the date/time stamp must be within the period of the report.
Plan Type: Completed
For a treatment plan to be counted as Completed, all items must be transferred to the Treatment tab. The Done date on the Treatment plan of the last transferred item number will be within the period of the report.
Plan Type: Incomplete
For a treatment plan to be counted as Incomplete, item numbers must be outstanding on the Treatment tab. Incomplete plans are not date specific; the report will look for ANY incomplete plan.
Active/Inactive Plans
It is important to use the Active Treatment Plan feature to ensure plans are correctly categorised for reporting.
The report will show details of the selected report parameters, including the number of plans per type and the financial value of them.
