Patients in Analytics are considered active if they meet both of the following qualifications:

  1. Are marked "active" within the Practice Management Software (Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, etc.)

  2. Have had a completed appointment in the past 18 months

Engagement considers patients as active if they meet any of the following qualifications:

  • Are marked as "active" inside your Practice Management Software, regardless of when they were last seen

  • Are marked inactive inside your Practice Management Software but have an appointment(s) scheduled

  • Are marked inactive inside your Practice Management Software but completed an appointment within the last 30 days

  • Are marked inactive inside your Practice Management Software but is a guarantor or guardian for an active patient

  • Are marked inactive inside your Practice Management Software but has sent new communication within the last 30 days

Note: Inactive patients in Engagement will be ignored for bulk actions & recalls and will be hidden in Engagement once they no longer meet one of the above conditions.
