HOW TO CHECK YOUR RECARE SYSTEM EFFECTIVENESS

Recare system effectiveness is calculated based on the number of active patients in the practice. If a practice has 1800 active patients, the calculation follows:


1800 active patients, each to be recalled every 6 months
1800 ÷ 6 months = 300 Recare patients per month with 100% effective system
160 Recare patients per month actual average
160 R patients ÷ 300 R patients = 53% effective system
Minimum goal = 75% to 80% effective system
1800 active patients X .80 = 1440 active patients
1440 R patients ÷ 6 months = 240 R patients per month with 80% effective system
240 R patients (80% effectiveness) minus 160 R patients (actual average) = 80
additional Recare patients per month


So—what difference does it make if 80 additional Recare patients are seen each month? First, you and your staff can assure better oral health for almost 30% more of your patients, a most important factor. Second, multiply your recare fee by 80 more patients to calculate the increased income per month. Multiply the monthly increase by 12 months to predict the dramatic monetary effect an 80% effective Recare system can have on your annual income. A win-win difference for your practice.
