Figuring out the metrics that help a business/ practice become successful and then improving them is critical.

One of the areas that every practice should have a goal is for new patients per month. So one of the primary goals with our coaching clients is that we support them to grow double-digit percentage growth per year, which means 10% or more per year.

Mentioned above is only 1 out of the 20 metrics that I will be sharing in-depth. You can also learn more about other metrics such as

  1. Total adjusted production in your practice 
  2. Total Collections
  3. Overhead percentage
  4. Treatment acceptance percentage
  5. Collections Percentage and many more.

Once you’re tracking all these metrics that I share in this episode, you can discover what’s working in your practice, and you can do more of what’s working and eliminate the things that aren’t working.
