Treatment Patients Accepted Recall
KPI Description: Number of patients where at least one treatment plan item was accepted (completed or scheduled) for patients receiving a periodic exam. This KPI is calculated per provider. For us to allocate a treatment plan to a provider, there must be an exam performed on that patient within 30 days of when the treatment plan was created. You can edit the emergency exam codes on the Settings – Service Code Sets page. By default, this includes D0120.

Understanding the KPI Calculation
This KPI measures the number of patients who have accepted at least one treatment plan item, either completed or scheduled, after receiving a periodic exam.
Performing the Calculation
This calculation is done per provider:
- Count the number of patients who had a periodic exam.
- From those, identify how many accepted treatment plan items within 30 days of their exam.
Calculation:
Number of Patients Who Accepted Treatment Plan Item / Number of Patients Who Had a Periodic Exam
Example: If 50 patients had a periodic exam and 30 of those accepted at least one treatment item within 30 days, the KPI value would be 30/50.
