How are scorecard trends calculated?

Scorecard trends are calculated using a common data analysis technique known as linear regression, which reliably and predictably converts raw data into actionable insights. Trends are calculated according to the time range and comparison period selected, utilizing each line of produced data as an individual point in the equation.

Data is listed in reverse chronological order with the most recent data shown at the top. Expand the location list to review historical data.

The trend associated with each selected metric is included in the most recent data line item shown at the top of each location list. Depending on the filters/rules that have been applied to the scorecard, trends will show as trending positively or negatively (green or red).


Scorecards for DSOs

Multi-location Location and Provider Scorecards are for practices who are part of a dental service organization or have access to more than one location.

To access DSO Scorecards, hover over the DSO Dashboards icon in the left side navigation of Analytics and then click on DSO Scorecards.


Scorecards for Single Locations

Scorecards for single locations are for team members who belong to a single practice or do not have access to any other locations in their organization.

To access Scorecards, hover over the Dashboards icon in the left side navigation of Analytics and then click on Scorecards.
