Southern Oak Dental - Conway

https://southernoakconway.com/

Production softened -7.1% YoY ($662,360 → $615,053). During the same window, new patient intake declined by 66 and appointment leakage improved (a bright spot). The practice scorecard shows 8 of 19 metrics passing, with 6 fails concentrated in patient retention and schedule management and patient acquisition. The analysis below frames where collaborative opportunities exist rather than assigning root cause — the team can use these numbers as a shared starting point for the next operating rhythm review.

Data Hygiene & Tracking Gaps

Referral Source Attribution: 97% of new patients (153 of 158) are missing referral source. This exceeds the 20% threshold and blocks reliable marketing ROI attribution. Without this data, we cannot tell which channels are producing new patients.

Production Waterfall Analysis (Q1 2025 → Q1 2026)

Bridges prior-period production to current-period production by attributing the change to specific drivers. Green = gained production; Red = lost production.

Action Plan — Organized by Support Team

Marketing

  1. Reactivation campaign for unscheduled active patients — Pull the 6+ month overdue list from Dental Intel Analytics (not Engagement — Engagement only reaches patients with future appointments). This practice shows 1,535 unscheduled active patients representing $1,236,197 in opportunity.
    Owner: Growth team + Office Manager  •  DI Workflow: Analytics → Unscheduled Active Patients → export → manual outreach assignment  •  Impact: Recovering even 10% of dollar opportunity = $123,620
  2. Online scheduling adoption lift — Only 0.0% of NPs booked online. Audit Modento integration + website CTA visibility. Patients who can't find a "Book Now" button often don't call either.
    Owner: Marketing + Web  •  DI Workflow: N/A — web analytics + Modento config  •  Impact: Captures after-hours + call-shy prospects

Operations

  1. 48-hour appointment confirmation protocol — Combined cancel + no-show rate is 12.7% (benchmark ≤10%). Use Engagement TouchPoint + manual phone backup + Park Column for unconfirmed slots.
    Owner: Office Manager  •  DI Workflow: Engagement → TouchPoint rules + daily morning-huddle confirmation report  •  Impact: Moving to 8% leakage recovers ~$28,907
  2. NP call conversion coaching + insurance verification workflow — NP call conversion is 31% (benchmark ≥55%). Top reason: Insiurance Not Taken (27%), Scheduling (20%). Build an insurance-check cheat sheet + scheduling script at the front desk.
    Owner: Office Manager + RCM  •  DI Workflow: PeerLogic call transcripts → weekly 1-on-1 coaching  •  Impact: Moving to 55% lifts NP intake proportionally

Clinical

  1. Standardized treatment plan presentation — Case $ Accepted % is 37.4% (benchmark: 50%+). Moving the needle 5pp on $878,141 presented = $43,907 in accepted treatment.
    Owner: Clinical Director + Doctor  •  DI Workflow: N/A — peer-learning / coaching sprint  •  Impact: $43,907 at 5pp lift

Office Manager

  1. Referral source entry compliance — 97% of new patients are missing referral source attribution. This blocks all marketing ROI analysis — we can't tell what is working. Mandate entry at check-in + daily audit.
    Owner: Office Manager  •  DI Workflow: DI PMS integration check + front desk training  •  Impact: Unblocks marketing spend attribution
  2. NP follow-up: confirm 2nd hygiene appointment within 24h — Only 35% of new patients re-appoint into hygiene (benchmark ≥40%). Manual checklist at checkout — do not rely on DI Engagement for NPs.
    Owner: Office Manager + Hygienist  •  DI Workflow: N/A — manual checkout protocol  •  Impact: Each 5pp lift ≈ 8 additional reappointed NPs per quarter

Doctor

  1. Peer review of case presentation + schedule availability — Production softened -7.1% YoY. Review the waterfall drivers together — the largest negative driver is where collaboration will unlock the most dollars.
    Owner: Doctor + ROD  •  DI Workflow: Analytics → Production breakdown + VPWD trend  •  Impact: Recovers soft quarter via targeted lever

Executive

  1. Strategic context (from Priority List review) — Just tripled in size; 2nd doc in 2 months, possible 3rd next year. Strong existing patient flow. Needs volume to fill new capacity.
    Owner: ROD + Growth  •  DI Workflow: N/A  •  Impact: Alignment on sequencing
