In Analytics, you can choose to have your production numbers calculated by either Gross or Net Production.
Changing your Production calculation setting will effect production data in the Performance Board, Provider Pulse, and the Month To Date production forecast in the Yesterday tab of the Morning Huddle.
You can quickly tell which Production Settings are selected by looking at the Production field displayed in the upper right of each dashboard.
How to Update your Production Settings
Access Settings by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right hand corner
Click on Practice Goals, then click "Show production display configuration"
Select Gross or Net, then click Save
If you select Net, you will be provided the option to choose how the data is calculated (by Adjustment Date, Procedure Date, 90 Day Average, or Estimated [Estimated is available for Open Dental users only])
Once the production preferences are established, the Production calculation will be reflected in the Provider Pulse, Performance Board, and Yesterday tab and Month-to-Date Forecast dashboards within the Morning Huddle.
A note for Open Dental users about Est. Net Production
Estimated Net Production in Open Dental is refined through the software’s capability to utilize initial write-off estimates for adjusting the production figures. This functionality provides a realistic view of the dental practice’s financial health by calculating actual production after subtracting estimated adjustments and write-offs from the total service fees. Estimated Net Production in OpenDental helps show the real earnings of the dental practice after taking out the estimated costs and write-offs from the total billed services. It’s used to get a clearer picture of how much money the practice is actually making.
