Are gaps in your schedule really a case acceptance problem, or are you simply not diagnosing enough of the care your patients need and want? In this episode, Kirk Behrendt and Metric Mondays co-host Miranda Beeson explain diagnostic percentage, why it is an important leading indicator for future production, and how inconsistent exams, assumptions about patients, and excessive “watching” can limit both care and opportunity. You'll learn how to evaluate diagnostic percentage by provider, create greater consistency in your comprehensive exams, and identify opportunities to better serve existing patients without turning treatment conversations into a sales process. To improve your diagnostic consistency and help more patients understand their options, listen to Episode 1087 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Diagnostic percentage measures the percentage of patients receiving an exam who are diagnosed or treatment planned with new treatment in the practice management software.A low diagnostic percentage can indicate inconsistent exams, incomplete documentation, communication challenges, or assumptions about what patients will accept.Practices should diagnose consistently and allow patients to decide whether and when they want to proceed with treatment.A strong clinical philosophy and standardized examination process help patients receive consistent information regardless of which provider they see.Reviewing diagnostic percentage by provider can reveal variations that should be explored rather than immediately judged as right or wrong.Miranda identifies 45% or higher as a useful benchmark while noting that percentages in the teens, 20s, or low 30s may indicate missed opportunities.Comprehensive exams for existing patients and regular review of conditions being “watched” can uncover changes in patient needs, wants, and appropriate treatment.Episode Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Metric Monday and diagnostic percentage.02:53 Diagnostic percentage as a measure of consistent patient care.05:51 Avoiding assumptions about a patient's willingness or ability to pursue treatment.07:00 Common causes of low diagnostic percentage.10:18 How consistent standards support stronger diagnosis.12:00 Helping patients plan proactively for future dentistry.14:56 Reviewing diagnostic percentage by provider and using benchmarks.17:21 Re-evaluating existing patients with comprehensive exams.19:00 Using improved skills and technology to better evaluate patients over time.20:00 Untapped treatment opportunities within the existing practice.21:00 Closing thoughts.Guest Bio:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience. She is enthusiastic about communication and loves helping others find the power that words can bring to their patient interactions and practice dynamics. As a Lead Practice Coach, she is driven to create opportunities to find value in experiences and cultivate new approaches.Miranda graduated from Old Dominion University, and enjoys spending time with her husband, Chuck, and her children, Trent, Mallory, and Cassidy.

Provider production reports can reveal far more than which clinician produced the most. When production numbers are viewed without context around capacity, schedule utilization, experience, and procedure mix, they can create inaccurate comparisons and unproductive conversations. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt and practice coach Miranda Beeson explain how to evaluate production by provider as a management and coaching tool rather than a scorecard. You will learn how to connect production with capacity, identify what is influencing each provider's results, and use the data to create clearer expectations and better opportunities for your team to succeed. To learn how to get more useful information from your provider production reports, listen to Episode 1084 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Provider production reports should be used as decision-making and coaching tools rather than simple scorecards.Production comparisons should account for differences in schedule capacity, clinical responsibilities, experience, and procedure mix.Capacity measures how much of a provider's available clinical time is actually being utilized with patients in the chair.Production and schedule utilization should be reviewed together to determine whether each provider has an appropriate opportunity to produce.Practice owners should investigate why providers or specific days perform differently instead of assigning blame based on production totals alone.Reviewing successful and unsuccessful days with the team can reveal scheduling, case acceptance, and service-mix opportunities.Clear expectations and collaborative review of production data can support provider development and associate retention.Episode Chapters:00:00 Intro02:19 Why production reports matter04:00 Evaluating associate production with schedule utilization.06:15 Defining provider capacity.07:58 What practices get wrong with production reports.12:42 What healthy practices do differently.15:57 A practical exercise for reviewing production and capacity.18:00 Reviewing successful and unsuccessful days with the team.19:00 Developing providers and supporting associate retention.20:00 Closing thoughts.Guest Bio:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience.

A strong production day does not always mean a dental practice used its time efficiently. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt and Miranda Beeson, co-host of The Best Practices Show, explain why production per hour provides a clearer view of provider efficiency than production per day alone. You will learn how schedule design, procedure mix, capacity utilization, delegation, and provider hours influence productivity, as well as how to calculate and evaluate production per hour in your practice. To better understand the efficiency behind your production numbers, listen to Episode 1081 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Production per day shows the total outcome, while production per hour reveals how efficiently provider time was used.A high-production day may still be inefficient when it requires extra hours, rushed appointments, fragmented procedures, or working through lunch.Intentional scheduling and an appropriate procedure mix can help practices maintain production while reducing clinical hours.Measuring schedule utilization helps practices identify lost production caused by unfilled provider and hygiene time.Comparing high-performing and low-performing schedules can reveal which procedures, workflows, and provider habits improve hourly productivity.Delegating tasks to trained team members allows dentists to focus on the clinical responsibilities only they can perform.Production per hour should be reviewed with curiosity and used to improve systems rather than punish or compare providers.Episode Chapters:00:00 Why production per hour provides a clearer view than production per day.01:00 Introduction to Metric Mondays and production efficiency.02:17 The difference between daily production and hourly production.03:48 What inefficient production looks like in practice.05:24 Why production per hour is the ultimate measure of efficiency.06:34 Creating leadership time through more strategic scheduling.07:26 What practices do differently when they measure time effectively.09:22 Improving production through schedule and capacity utilization.10:12 The financial impact of open hygiene appointments.11:18 How to calculate production per hour.12:01 Comparing provider schedules and procedure mix.13:18 Delegation as a way to improve provider efficiency.14:41 Asking the team how efficiently time was used.15:17 Using production data to identify practice opportunities.Guest Bio:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience.

In this week's historic episode, we revisit a sermon preached in 2022 by Beeson's Reginald Calvert titled "God the Glorious Creator."

How much of your practice's production can you actually count on as collectible revenue? The gap between gross production and net production can obscure profitability, distort financial decisions, and lead dentists to work harder without improving cash flow. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt and Metric Monday co-host and ACT Dental coach Miranda Beeson explain how gross production reflects clinical activity while net production reflects the financial reality of the practice. You will learn how to calculate your adjustment percentage, identify where production is being reduced, and use accurate data to make better decisions about providers, operatories, insurance participation, and growth—listen to Episode 1078 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Gross production reflects the services and clinical activity completed by the team.Net production represents the amount the practice can potentially collect after adjustments.Practices must bill their full fees to accurately measure gross production and adjustment activity.Decisions about adding providers, operatories, patients, or locations should not be based on gross production alone.Adjustment categories should be specific enough to distinguish PPO adjustments, membership plan adjustments, professional courtesies, and other discounts.The adjustment percentage is calculated by dividing total adjustments by gross production.Reviewing gross production, adjustments, and net production together provides a clearer picture of profitability and collectible revenue.Episode Chapters:00:00 Intro02:13 Gross production and net production explained04:07 Why the gap between the two metrics matters.05:45 How gross production can lead to poor growth decisions.08:14 Reframing write-offs as discounts.11:36 How practices use both metrics correctly.14:08 Working smarter vs working harder15:51 How to calculate and evaluate the adjustment percentage.18:57 Improving adjustment tracking and reporting.19:53 Wrap upGuest Bio:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience.

Avoiding a difficult conversation may reduce discomfort in the moment, but it creates confusion, weakens accountability, and allows unresolved issues to grow. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt speaks with Miranda Beeson, coach and director of education, about how leaders can address performance concerns while maintaining trust and supporting their team members. You will learn why accountability is an investment, how unclear expectations damage culture, and how to use the LIFT framework to lead productive accountability conversations. Build a healthier culture through clearer communication—listen to Episode 1077 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Avoiding uncomfortable conversations creates confusion, inconsistency, frustration, and larger problems over time.A healthy practice culture requires both support and accountability.Accountability should call people up by showing that leaders believe they are capable of meeting a higher standard.Leaders must clarify whether an expectation gap resulted from unclear leadership or a team member not meeting an established standard.Team members are more likely to accept direct feedback when leaders begin with genuine care and support.Explaining the impact of a missed expectation helps team members understand why their actions matter.Accountability conversations must end with a specific commitment, action, and follow-up plan.Episode Chapters:00:00 Why leaders avoid necessary conversations.03:06 How avoidance damages accountability and culture.06:00 Why unresolved conflict becomes a crisis.07:49 Accountability as an investment in team members.11:58 Why being nice is not always kind.14:20 Introduction to the LIFT feedback framework.15:27 Lead with care.18:10 Identify the expectation gap.21:30 Frame the impact.24:02 Translate the conversation into commitment.26:04 Applying LIFT to a scheduling and patient-flow issue.29:11 Developing leaders who can hold others accountable.32:00 Using accountability to lift people into better performance.34:00 Resources coaching & wrap upGuest Bio:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience.

Sharing numbers with the team can feel difficult for dentists who worry that data will seem cold, corporate, or disconnected from patient care. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt brings back Miranda Beeson, dental hygienist and coach, to explain why sharing metrics feels so hard and how to make those conversations productive, consistent, and patient-centered.You will learn how to connect KPIs to patient outcomes, reduce defensiveness around data, and help your team understand how their roles affect the health of the practice and the patients you serve. To learn how to make metrics a healthier part of your leadership, listen to Episode 1069 of The Best Practices Show!Main TakeawaysDentists often struggle more with managing and leading people than with the clinical side of dentistry.Data conversations become difficult when the team only hears about numbers during problems or emergencies.Metrics feel cold when leaders discuss production and collections without connecting them to patient care.Reappointment percentage reflects whether patients are staying on track with preventive care.Treatment acceptance shows whether patients understand the value of recommended care and are moving forward with treatment they want or need.Perio visit percentage helps teams see whether they are proactively addressing periodontal disease.Leaders can make data easier to discuss by explaining what each metric measures, what systems affect it, and how improvement benefits the patient experience.Snippets:00:00 Intro01:13 Meet Miranda Beeson02:27 Miranda explains why many practice owners hesitate to share data.05:27 What happens when practices do not review numbers with the team.06:52 Why KPI reporting can feel like it is only about making more money.10:22 What it looks like when leaders introduce KPIs well.11:10 KPI Examples That Matter14:34 Kirk discusses the compounding effect of stronger perio visit percentages.15:56 Miranda explains why leaders must set the tone around data.16:14 Miranda introduces resources for connecting metrics to patient experience.19:06 Kirk closes by encouraging leaders to share numbers in a way that helps the team and patients.Guest Bio/Guest Resources:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience.

A full schedule can look productive while still falling short of a practice's financial goals. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt speaks with Miranda Beeson, Director of Education at ACT Dental, about why busy days underperform and how production-per-day goals, schedule utilization, patient selection, and block scheduling create greater predictability. You will learn how to evaluate schedule quality, protect high-value clinical time, and help your administrative team make more intentional scheduling decisions. To build a full schedule that supports production, profitability, and a better workday, listen to Episode 1066 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:A full schedule can still underperform when appointments are not aligned with the practice's production goals.Production-per-day goals should be visible in the practice management software and understood by the entire team.Schedule utilization measures how much available clinical time is being used for patient care.Administrative team members should consider procedure value and patient reliability instead of filling every opening with the first available appointment.A and B patients create greater schedule stability because they are more likely to attend appointments and pay their balances.Block scheduling protects prime clinical time for higher-value treatment and creates more predictable daily production.An ideal day schedule should balance the owner's preferences, patient needs, and the practice's production goals.Snippets00:00 Intro01:31 Full schedules can still produce underperforming days.02:18 Why filling every opening does not guarantee productivity.03:13 The importance of production per day and schedule utilization.05:03 Working backward from annual goals to a daily production target.06:39 What an underperforming full schedule looks like.08:13 Why practices should replace like with like when appointments change.10:30 How intentional scheduling supports production goals.12:20 Protecting prime clinical time with block scheduling.13:00 Using the production figure in practice management software before scheduling an appointment.15:05 How comprehensive treatment blocks can create peaceful, productive days.17:06 Displaying production-per-day goals in the practice management software.17:46 Building an ideal day schedule for greater consistency.19:03 The ideal day scheduling guide in the ACT Dental community hub.Guest Bio/Guest ResourcesMiranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience.

In this week's historic episode, we revisit a conversation with Beeson professor Frank Thielman on the topic of Bible translation.

Building, growing, and owning an independent dental practice can feel isolating, especially when decisions, team challenges, and long-term vision fall on the practice owner. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt brings back Miranda Beeson, ACT coach and dental practice leader, to explain why community matters in practice ownership and how the right support system can help dentists and their teams make better decisions, avoid unnecessary mistakes, build confidence, and grow with greater clarity. To learn how to find the right people in your corner, listen to Episode 1061 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Independent practice owners do not have to solve every challenge alone.A strong professional community provides shared learning, support, accountability, and practical perspective.The right community helps dentists shorten the learning curve by learning from others' real-world experiences.Community should align with the practice owner's values and avoid judgment, toxicity, or hidden agendas.Team members also need community and role-specific support to grow in confidence and leadership.The Community Hub provides forums, study clubs, clinical education, resources, and vendor connections for dentists and their teams.Community is a strategic advantage because it helps practice owners think better, lead better, and grow faster.Snippets:00:00 Who Is In Your Corner01:19 Meet Miranda Beeson02:15 Why Dentists Feel Alone04:09 Tribe Stories And Patterns07:41 Isolation And Negative Self Talk08:34 What Community Really Means10:59 Avoid Toxic Communities13:31 Real Benefits For Owners15:25 Belief And Accountability18:15 Community For The Whole Team23:20 Inside The Community Hub26:43 Forum Wins And AI Examples32:19 More Questions Solved Fast37:56 Final Takeaways And Invite40:33 How To Get Started42:32 Closing And Call To ActionGuest Bio/Guest Resources:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience.

Why can your practice feel busier than ever, show higher production, and still not see more money in the bank? In this episode, Kirk Behrendt brings back Miranda Beeson, ACT Dental's Director of Education, to explain why gross production is often a misleading proxy for profitability and what to measure instead. You'll learn the difference between gross and net production, how write-offs and overhead quietly erase gains, and the first steps to protect margins so profit can follow production. Listen to Episode 1057 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Gross production can be a “gross misrepresentation” of what a practice can actually collect, while net production reflects what is realistically collectible.Higher production does not automatically create higher profit when write-offs grow and overhead rises at the same time.Practices get it wrong when they celebrate production without tracking what gets adjusted away and what it costs to deliver the care.Large write-offs (insurance, membership plan discounts, elective courtesies, and untracked adjustments) can create an “effort gap” where work is done but revenue is not collectible.Adding hours, days, team members, and equipment to chase production can increase expenses and compound the profitability problem.Practices get it right by tracking adjustments by category (and often by individual insurance carriers) and by regularly reviewing the P&L to confirm expenses are aligned with revenue-producing needs.The first action steps are to clarify write-offs in the practice management system and to understand where overhead dollars are going before pushing for more production.Snippets:00:00 Why production can be up while profit doesn't follow.02:10 Gross vs. net production and why the distinction matters for doctors and teams.06:10 What it looks like when practices get it wrong and the bank account doesn't grow.07:05 Write-offs and the “effort gap” between delivered care and collectible revenue.08:35 How chasing more production can quietly drive overhead higher.10:05 Why the real issue is often strategy, not production.14:15 The mindset shift for fee-for-service: being okay with downtime and using it well.17:10 The first thing to do tomorrow: get clarity on write-offs and adjustments.19:05 The next step: review the P&L and understand overhead buckets.Guest Bio/Guest Resources:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience.

In this 2023 episode of the podcast, we hear from Beeson alumnus Jeff Gissing, who talks about his work with Tyndale Publishing House and their philosophy for Bible acquisitions, publishing and marketing.

Tracking every KPI can feel productive, but it often creates noise and diffuses accountability. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt sits down with Miranda Beeson, ACT's co-host and practice coach, to explain why “tracking everything is the fastest way to improve nothing.”You'll learn how to narrow your focus to a small set of metrics that match your top quarterly priority, how to separate leadership-level monitoring from team-level focus, and what to do when a metric is off-track so it actually improves. Listen to Episode 1054 of The Best Practices Show!Main TakeawaysTrack data because feelings are not reliable indicators of what is happening in the practice.Too many KPIs create overwhelm, dilute accountability, and make it harder to prioritize action.Choose three to seven “main” KPIs each quarter that directly correlate to the practice's current priority.Leadership can monitor a broader scorecard, but the team should stay focused on the quarter's priority metrics.Practices that track everything often bounce between problems week to week without making measurable progress.When a focus metric is off-track, the team must issue-discuss-solve instead of only reporting the number.Assign clear ownership for collecting and reporting each KPI so the numbers stay visible and actionable.Snippets:00:00 Metric Mondays Kickoff01:22 Meet Miranda Beeson02:00 Why Tracking Everything Fails03:20 Pick Few KPIs for Traction05:51 Data Rich Direction Poor07:52 What It Looks Like Done Right08:42 Choose Focus Metrics This Quarter10:47 Action Steps and Accountability13:17 Solve Off Track Metrics14:43 Wrap Up and Get HelpGuest Bio/Guest Resources:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience.
