Use the Patients Report to measure the effectiveness of your marketing

We continue our series of blogs looking at the many ways you can use the data from the Patients Report to support business recovery and growth.

In order to attract new clients and grow your dental practice, you will be engaging in some form of marketing.  Marketing campaign returns need to be measured and monitored over time to see how effective they are at helping you to reach your goals.  Use the powerful Patients Report to help you to identify new patients by tailoring the criteria in the filters so that they emulate your marketing targeted audiences.

New patients

Set Patients Report filters to find new patients by filtering in those who have had a patient record created within 2 months: 

  • Is Active - set to yes
  • Record Created - set to less than 60 days

You can further refine these criteria and find out how many of these new patients have attended for an appointment. so that you can offer the best customer service by initiating their dental care with you.

Communication is key

Using the patient related data from the Patients Report in this way, Dentally enables you to communicate with your new patients, book in any additional treatment, and continue their oral health care journey with you, as quickly as possible after their initial visit.

It also allows you to see those patients who registered but have received no treatment, and you can, as you know, contact them directly from within the Patients Report, to begin your new patient nurture sequence, encouraging them to attend for their first exam.
