Think fast\u2014how many of your patients would you consider active? How many haven\u2019t scheduled the work for their treatments plans? Although these questions may put you on the spot, they lead to important information to have every now and then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chart auditing<\/a>, the process of determining the answers to these questions, may not be your top priority right now, but it needs to be done on a regular basis to keep a finger on the pulse of your patient base. In this post, you\u2019ll learn why chart auditing is essential for your business and how to use it to your advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Benefits of Chart Auditing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chart auditing often gets shelved because of the hustle and bustle of everyday tasks higher on the list of urgent projects. However, getting chart auditing done can help your practice succeed in many ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1: Better Marketing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Determining which patients are still active can narrow your focus in marketing and outreach efforts on a more intentional audience. If you choose to send out direct mail postcards to advertise, you can specifically maximize your results by targeting those who have not completed treatment yet or those who have not come to your practice in a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2: More Accurate Information<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you are thinking about bringing on more dentists or specialists, hiring more staff members, or making other important business decisions, you need to have a clear idea of how many patients are actively coming to your practice. Having more precise numbers can let you know whether your practice can sustain and benefit from these changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3: More Revenue<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you have so many patients, it can be difficult to keep straight who is due for an appointment or who hasn\u2019t scheduled to complete treatment. As a result, these patients, as well as the revenue they would bring in, fall through the cracks. Chart auditing helps you know who to contact and try to reactivate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Identify Inactive Patients Through Chart Auditing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The auditing process can be time consuming and involves going through your records and picking out the cancellations, no-shows, or simply those who haven\u2019t scheduled their next appointment. Most dental management software suites nowadays do the major legwork in compiling these records, but someone still needs to evaluate each case to determine the cause and the next steps to take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
