Team Huddle Module

Appointment Display Options:

1. Start/ End Date – Begin by designating the date range you would like to work with. You can choose to only include Confirmed appointments and a few other options using the tick boxes. You can also restrict your results to only include Booked appointments, leaving out planned and the remaining rescheduled status appointments.

1. Sort By – Sort your results by Date or Producer. Sorting by Producer will keep each producer’s related results compiled together, making it easier to review a specific producer’s information.
2. Future Date/Past Date – The Future and Past Date options will relate to the available selections discussed next. Simply put, designate how far into the future, and past to look for results matching the criteria.

1. Producer – These selections designate which Producers to include. Select your active producers here.

1. Options – The Options listed determine which fields to report on. Selections made will dictate what results populate. Check off any items you may find useful.

2. Production – The Production selections will provide quick information about the producer. Discussed in more detail in the Results section below.

Production Results:

The production breakdown divides information into helpful categories. Number of Procedures performed, with Dental and Lab fees shown in separate columns before providing a Net Fee total. The same is done for payments, breaking down adjustments and transfers before providing a Net total.

The first line of values relates to the date range designated in step 1, while MTD represents data for the current month and YTD presents a total for the year.
