Actions

Actionable recommendations

Use the estimate as a planning starting point, then track whether operational changes improve booked production.

Protect the next 48 hours

Keep a short-notice list for patients who can accept hygiene or emergency openings. Your current settings show 10 missed visits each week.

Separate hygiene and treatment gaps

This model estimates $53,280 in hygiene value and $182,400 in treatment value at risk annually.

Improve confirmation timing

Confirm appointments earlier, then send a same-day reminder. Track whether your cancellation rebooking rate rises after two weeks.

Fill demand from local discovery

If lost production equals $172,620 annually, roughly 192 new patients at your estimated value could offset it.
