Copyright © 2018 George Warman Publications. All rights reserved. Dental practices are continually collecting patient data but it is often an underutilized resource. There is a growing trend towards use of data analytics within companies to guide business decisions. For dental practices which use digital systems, a large reserve of patient information is readily available. Simple data analytic techniques are presented which can be used to extract substantial insight into patient demographics, DNA (did not attend) rates and many other areas of practical relevance to clinical service delivery and business management. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Data analytics is well established in many industries and has the potential for encouraging colleagues to look at their data and understand their patient base and changes over time; practice owners can gain insight into patient demographics to guide business decisions and improve patient care.
