This site and these tools are meant to be educational.  They will hopefully help you to get maximal benefit from your investment of time into using them.  They are intended to provide a 'big picture' overview of your business.  If a trend line is going in the wrong direction, then you will know that you need to seek additional answers or assistance to determine the cause and to implement a solution.  Without these types of tools, these high impact parameters may not be monitored, so by the time you realize they are moving in the wrong direction, it may be too late.

Data Dashboard

You may enter your confidential practice key performance indicators on the “Data Input” page.  Definitions for the requested information and calculations used can be found under these headings on the data input and dashboard pages.  Once data input is complete, you may go immediately to the “Data Dashboard” to view your practice KPI data and the trends associated with them.  Explanations for each are located on the input and dashboard pages as well.

Note that the KPI charts are presented in Trailing 12 month month format.  This format is used so that each data point on the chart represents the previous 12 months of data, which will effectively remove seasonality from the trend lines in the data.  This allows you to see the real change in this month's data from last month's data, as the only data that differs is this month's data point.  The trailing 12 month format is a very powerful tool!
