You don\u2019t get it\u2014you aren\u2019t bringing in as much revenue as you think you should be. According to the numbers, you have tons of patients, but your schedule doesn\u2019t stay consistently full. Have you checked how many of your patients are active?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process of determining active and inactive patients, called chart auditing<\/a>, does require a bit of time and effort, but doing it is essential for your practice\u2019s productivity. Keep reading to learn why knowing how many patients are active is important and how Dental Support Specialties can help you focus your outreach efforts on those who need it most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Why Chart Auditing Is Important<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even if you have patients on record, it doesn\u2019t mean they are actively visiting you. Your management software allows you to keep track of who comes in for appointments regularly and who hasn\u2019t visited in a while. Knowing these numbers through chart auditing provides a precise picture of who needs to be contacted and reminded to return for care. It also can help you weed out patients who have moved, so that your attendance statistics can be more accurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result of finding your inactive patients in chart auditing, you can specifically target those who haven\u2019t completed treatment or who need to resume regular visits, bringing you more revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Chart Auditing Entails<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the past, chart auditing was a time-consuming, tedious task that involved looking at each patient\u2019s file to determine who was active and who wasn\u2019t. However, these days, most dental software comes with the ability to conduct this research without being physically present. It can still require quite a bit of work and time, but it is more efficient than ever before!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Dental Support Specialties Can Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
