Treatment Patients Accepted Percent Emergency
Percentage of Patients that Accepted for Emergency Exams Types
KPI Description:
The Treatment Patients Accepted Percent Emergency KPI measures the percentage of patients who accepted at least one treatment plan item (either completed or scheduled) out of all patients presented treatments following an emergency or limited exam. This metric is calculated per provider and helps dental offices assess the effectiveness of treatment plan presentations during emergency cases.
Importance of This KPI:
- Patient Care and Satisfaction – Ensuring patients receive necessary treatments improves health outcomes and builds trust.
- Operational Efficiency – Identifies workflow bottlenecks and highlights providers needing support.
- Revenue Optimization – Higher treatment acceptance boosts financial health.
- Provider Performance – Offers insights into individual provider effectiveness.
- Patient Retention – Informs strategies to reduce patient attrition.
Calculation:
This KPI is calculated as follows:
- Identify patients with emergency or limited exams (code D0140).
- Check if an exam was performed within the last 30 days before creating the treatment plan.
- Count the number of patients who accepted at least one treatment plan item (either completed or scheduled).
- Divide this number by the total number of patients presented with a treatment plan, then multiply by 100 for the percentage.
Formula: KP = (Number of patients accepting at least one plan item / Number of patients presented with a treatment plan) * 100
Strategies to Improve KPI:
- Thorough Communication: Train staff to clearly communicate the benefits of treatment plans.
- Timely Follow-ups: Schedule follow-up communications within 24-48 hours after the emergency appointment.
- Flexible Payment Plans: Offer financing options to reduce financial barriers.
- Provider Consistency: Ensure continuity by having the same provider propose and follow through on treatment plans.
- Streamlined Process: Present treatment plans to patients quickly to increase the likelihood of acceptance.
- Customized Communication: Tailor communication based on whether patients are new or returning to build trust and continuity.
- Set Realistic Expectations: Clearly explain the steps, timeframes, and outcomes of treatments to alleviate concerns.
