1 Week Forward

Definition: This is the number of Individual Appointments that are scheduled in the upcoming calendar week (i.e. next Mon-Sun).

Learn how to improve your 1 Week Forward (coming soon)

Formula:

This is a raw number (Individual Appointments) that Allie collects from a Practitioner Performance Report in your Practice Management System (Cliniko).

Example:

Allie, a practitioner, is reviewing the 1 Week Forward metric first thing on a Wednesday morning and it shows 35 Individual Appointments. Allie has 18 Individual Appointments remaining in the current week (i.e. between Wednesday and Friday). Allie's 1 Week Forward metric can be calculated as:

1 Week Forward = 35

Note: 1 Week Forward captures the Individual Appointments in the next Calendar week i.e. 7 days between Monday to Sunday. It is not a capture of the next 7 days ie From the Wednesday it is being reviewed by Allie and the 'rolling' 7 days that directly follow. If you are reviewing the 1 Week Forward metric on a Monday, then the result will be for the Monday to Sunday of the following week.


4 Weeks Forward

Definition: This is the number of Individual Appointments that are scheduled in the upcoming four calendar weeks (i.e. starting from next Monday).

Learn how to improve your 4 Weeks Forward (coming soon)

Formula

This is a raw number (Individual Appointments) that Allie collects from a Practitioner Performance Report in your Practice Management System (Cliniko).

Example:

Allie, a practitioner, is reviewing the 4 Week Forward metric first thing on a Wednesday morning and it shows 84 Individual Appointments. Allie has 18 Individual Appointments remaining in the current week (i.e. between Wednesday and Friday). Allie's 4 Week Forward metric can be calculated as:

4 Weeks Forward = 84

Note: 4 Week Forward captures the total Individual Appointments that are scheduled in the next four Calendar weeks i.e. starting from next Monday to Sunday (one week) and includes the subsequent three calendar weeks.


Appointments

Definition: This is the number of Individual Appointments completed (ie attended).

Formula:

This is a raw number (Appointments) that Allie collects from a Practitioner Performance Report in your Practice Management System (Cliniko).

Example:

Allie, a practitioner, had 30 Appointments scheduled over the time period in review (e.g. 1 week). However, 5 Appointments were cancelled, leaving 25 attended Appointments (30 - 5 = 25). Allie's Appointments can be calculated as:

Appointments: 25

Note: The Appointments metric does not include Group Appointments (classes). It is only Individual (ie one on one) Appointments.

Note: The Appointments metric does not include any Cancelled Appointments.


Appointment Revenue

Definition: This is the amount of money generated from all Individual Appointments ie Excluding Group Appointments (classes).

Formula:

This is a raw number (Raised Invoices from Individual Appointments) that Allie collects from a Practitioner Performance Report in your Practice Management System (Cliniko).

Example:

Allie, a practitioner, had 30 Appointments scheduled over the time period in review (e.g. 1 week). However, 5 Appointments were cancelled, leaving 25 attended Appointments (30 - 5 = 25). At the end of each Appointment there is an Invoice created which the client is required to pay for the services they received. The total revenue from all 25 appointments is $4,500. Allie's Appointments can be calculated as:

Appointments: 25

Note: Appointment Revenue is based on 'Raised Invoices' and does not distinguish if the invoice status has changed to a 'Paid Invoice' once the client finalises payment. Therefore, you might see a difference between Appointment Revenue and the amount of money deposited into your bank account.

Note: If you charge a Cancellation or Did Not Attend Fee it will not be included in Appointment Revenue.


Appointment Service Hours

Definition: This is the number of hours spent delivering Individual Appointments.

Learn how to improve your Appointment Service Hours (coming soon)

Formula:

This is a raw number (Service Hours) that Allie collects from a Practitioner Performance Report in your Practice Management System (Cliniko).

Example:

Allie, a practitioner, had 30 Appointments scheduled over the time period in review (e.g. 1 week). Each Appointment takes 45 Minutes to deliver. There are 60 minutes in an hour, therefore Allie's Service Hours can be calculated as:

Service Hours: [30] x [45] / [60] = 22.5 hours

Note: This does not include Group Appointments (Classes)


Average Revenue

Definition: This is the average amount of money generated from an Individual Appointment (excluding GST).

Formula:

This is a raw number (Average Revenue) that Allie collects from a Practitioner Performance Report in your Practice Management System (Cliniko).

Example:

Allie, a practitioner, had 30 Appointments scheduled over the time period in review (e.g. 1 week). At the end of each Appointment there is an Invoice created which the client is required to pay for the services they received. The total revenue from all 25 Appointments is $4,500. Allie's Average Revenue can be calculated as:

Average Revenue: [4500] / [25] = $180


Billable Utilisation

Definition: This is the percentage of Available Service Hours spent on delivering billable Service Hours.

Learn how to improve your Billable Utilisation (coming soon)

Formula:
​Billable Utilisation = Service Hours / Available Service Hours (from Allie Timesheet) x 100

Example:

Allie, a practitioner, completed 25 Service Hours over the time period in review (e.g. 1 week). From the entries made into the Timesheet, Allie has 38 Ordinary Hours i.e. Paid Working Hours, however after adjusting for time where Allie was unable to provide billable service to clients, Allie now has a total of 32 Available Service Hours during the week. Allie's Billable Utilisation can be calculated as:

Billable Utilisation: [25] / [32] x 100 = 78%

Note: Billable Utilisation takes into account the number of hours where Allie is unable to perform Service Hours i.e. it subtracts non-billable time from Paid Working hours to account for activities like Mentoring, Training, CPD, Breaks and Leave so that your reference point for Utilisation is the 'Available Service Hours'.


Cancellations

Definition: This is the number of all scheduled Individual Appointments that were cancelled.

Learn how to improve Cancellations (coming soon)

Formula:

This is a raw number (Cancellations) that Allie collects from a Practitioner Performance Report in your Practice Management System (Cliniko).

Example:

Allie, a practitioner, had 30 scheduled Individual Appointments. However, 5 appointments were cancelled, leaving 25 attended (completed) appointments. Allie's Cancellations can be calculated as:

Cancellations = 5


Cancellation Rate

Definition: This is the percentage of all Individual Appointments that were cancelled.

Formula:

Cancellation Rate = Cancelled Appointments / (Arrived Individual Appointments + Cancelled Appointments) x 100

Example:

Allie, a practitioner, had 30 scheduled appointments. However, 5 appointments were cancelled, leaving 25 arrived appointments. Allie's Cancellation Rate can be calculated as:

Cancellation Rate: [5] / [25 + 5] x 100 = 16.7%


Contracted Hours

Definition: The amount of hours a practitioner is contracted to and worked in a regular week (not including annual leave, sick leave, unpaid leave or public holidays). It is also known as 'Ordinary Hours' or 'Paid Working Hours'.

Learn more about your Contracted Hours

Formula:

This is a raw number (Contracted Hours) that is manually inputted by a Clinic Owner to reflect the 'Ordinary Hours' of a Practitioner as outlined in their Employment Agreement.


Practitioner Investment Ratio (formerly Cost of Practitioner)

Definition: This is the monetary value of Wage and Superannuation costs paid to a practitioner as a percentage of Total Revenue generated by the practitioner.

Formula:
Practitioner Investment Ratio = [Practitioner Cost] / [Practitioner's Total Revenue] x 100

Example:

Allie, a practitioner, has generated $192,000 of Total Revenue over the time period in review (e.g. one year). Over the same time period, the Practitioner Costs of Wages and Superannuation that were paid to Allie totalled $87,500. Allie's Practitioner Investment Ratio can be calculated as:

Practitioner Investment Ratio = [$87,500] / [$192,000] x 100 = 46%

Note: This does not include costs for training, mentoring, Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses or workshops that are invested into practitioners.


Did Not Attend

Definition: This is the number of all Individual Appointments that were not attended (missed).

Learn how to improve your Did Not Attends (coming soon)

Formula:

This is a raw number (Did Not Attends) that Allie collects from a Practitioner Performance Report in your Practice Management System (Cliniko).

Example:

Allie, a practitioner, had 30 scheduled Individual Appointments. However, 2 appointments were missed by clients and they were marked 'Did Not Attend', leaving 28 arrived (completed) appointments. Allie's Did Not Attend metric can be calculated as:

Did Not Attend (DNA): 2

Note: This does not include any Group Appointments (Class) data.


Did Not Attend Rate

Definition: This is the percentage of all Individual Appointments that were not attended (missed).

Learn how to improve Did Not Attend Rate (coming soon)

Formula:

Did Not Attend Rate = [Did Not Attends] / ([Arrived Appointments] + [Did Not Attends]) x 100

Example:

Allie, a practitioner, had 30 scheduled Individual Appointments. However, 2 appointments were missed by clients and they were marked 'Did Not Attend', leaving 28 arrived (completed) appointments. Allie's Did Not Attend metric can be calculated as:

Did Not Attend (DNA): [2] / [28 + 2] x 100 = 6.7%

Note: This does not include any Group Appointments (Class) data.


Employment Utilisation

Definition: This is the percentage of total Contracted Hours spent on Appointment Service Hours ie Individual and Group (class) Appointments.

Formula:
​Employment Utilisation = [Service Hours] / ([Contracted Hours] - [Annual Leave Hours] - [Personal Leave Hours] - [Public Holiday Hours]) x 100

Example:

Allie, a practitioner, completed 25 Service Hours over the time period in review (e.g. 1 week). From the entries made into the Timesheet, Allie has 38 Contracted Hours (aka 'Ordinary Hours' or 'Paid Working Hours), there was also a Public/Bank Holiday (7.6 Hours). Allie's Employment Utilisation can be calculated as:

​Employment Utilisation = [Service Hours] / ([Contracted Hours] - [Annual Leave Hours] - [Personal Leave Hours] - [Public Holiday Hours]) x 100

Employment Utilisation = [25] / ([38] - [0] - [0] - [7.6]) x 100 = 82%

Note: Unlike Billable Utilisation, the Employment Utilisation metric does not account for the number of hours where a practitioner is unable to perform Service Hours i.e. 'ruled out' space in the diary. Therefore, Employment Utilisation does not take into account the amount of time a practitioner spends doing activities like Team Meetings, Mentoring, Training, CPD or Breaks.


Lifetime Value

Definition: This is the total monetary value a client spends at the clinic on average over their lifetime.

Formula:

Lifetime Value = [Patient Visit Average] x [Average Revenue]

Example:

Allie, a practitioner, has a Patient Visit Average of 12 Individual Appointments per New Client. The Average Revenue generated per visit (Individual Appointment) is $180. Allie's Lifetime Value can be calculated as:

Lifetime Value: [12] x [$180] = $2,160


New Clients

Definition: This is the number of all Clients that are new to the clinic.

Learn how to improve your New Clients (coming soon)

Formula:

This is a raw number (New Clients) that Allie collects from a Practitioner Performance Report in your Practice Management System (Cliniko).

Example:

Allie, a practitioner, has 27 Individual Appointments this week and 5 of those Individual Appointments are for clients attending for their very first time at the clinic. Allie's New Clients can be calculated as:

New Clients = 5

Note: New Clients does not include New to Service or New to Location. For example, if an existing client receives ongoing Podiatry services and then gets referred internally to a Physiotherapist at the same clinic location for an initial appointment ie they are a new client to the Physiotherapist, the client is not counted as a New Client in Allie Metrics. Allie classifies a New Client only if it is their very first appointment to your Clinic overall i.e. a client can only be counted as a 'New Client' once.


No Future Appointments

Definition: This is the number of Individual Clients that attended an Individual Appointment but did not schedule a future appointment (Individual or Group).

Formula:

This is a raw number (Clients Without Upcoming Appointments) that Allie collects from a Practitioner Performance Report in your Practice Management System (Cliniko).

Example:

Allie, a practitioner, had 30 appointments scheduled. However, 5 appointments were rescheduled, leaving 25 arrived (completed) appointments. Among these, 18 clients rebooked by scheduling a future appointment, while 7 didn't schedule a future appointment. Allie's No Future Appointments can be calculated as:

No Future Appointments = 7


Patient Visit Average (PVA)

Definition: This is the number of Individual Appointments a client attends on average over their lifetime.

Formula:
Patient Visit Average = [Individual Appointments] / [New Clients]

Example:

Allie, a practitioner, has delivered 8,064 Individual Appointments over the last 4 years of practice. Over the same time period, Allie has seen and served 662 New Clients. Allie's Patient Visit Average can be calculated as:

Patient Visit Average: [8,064] / [662] = 12

Note: Patient Visit Average is best analysed over a longer period of time i.e. don't read too much into it's fluctuations on a week to week basis. It is meant to represent the amount of visits a patient (client) will attend on average over their lifetime of coming to your clinic. Therefore it is best analysed over time periods of greater than 12 months.

Note: If a patient (client) has an episode of care eg 4 visits, is discharged from care and then returns to your clinic 18 months later with a new issue and has another episode of care eg 8 visits, they are not counted as a New Client because they are not 'new' to the clinic. Therefore, 4 visits plus 8 visits will equal 12 total visits. This client example is in alignment with the Patient Visit Average number calculated in the example above.


Rebooking Rate

Definition: This is the percentage of Individual Appointments that have a future appointment booked.

Formula:

Rebooking Rate = ([Arrived Appointments] - [No Future Appointments]) / [Arrived Appointments] x 100

Example:

Allie, a practitioner, had 30 appointments scheduled. However, 5 appointments were rescheduled, leaving 25 arrived appointments. Among these, 18 clients rebooked by scheduling a future appointment, while 7 didn't. Allie's Rebooking Rate can be calculated as:

Rebooking Rate = ([25] - [7]) / [25] x 100 = 72%


Practitioner Adjusted Revenue

Definition: This is the amount of money generated by a practitioner, minus the Practitioner's Wage and Super costs (Practitioner Cost).

Learn how to improve your Revenue for Clinic (coming soon)

Formula:
Practitioner Adjusted Revenue: [Total Practitioner Revenue] - [Practitioner Cost]

Example:

Allie, a practitioner, has completed hundreds of Appointments (Individual and Group) over the reporting time period (eg one year) and generated $192,000 of Total Revenue. Over the same period, Allie's Practitioner Cost was $87,500. Allie's Practitioner Adjusted Revenue can be calculated as:

Practitioner Adjusted Revenue: [$192,000] - [$87,500] = $104,500

Note: this was formerly known as: Revenue minus Practitioner Cost.


Service Hours

Definition: This is the number of hours spent delivering Individual and Group (classes) Appointments ie all billable Service Hours for your Clients.

This is a raw number (Duration of all Appointments) that Allie collects from a Practitioner Performance Report in your Practice Management System (Cliniko).

Example:

Allie, a practitioner, had 30 Individual Appointments and 5 Group Appointments (Classes) scheduled over the time period in review (e.g. 1 week). Each Individual Appointment takes 45 Minutes to deliver and each Group Appointment takes 60 Minutes to deliver. There are 60 minutes in an hour, therefore Allie's Service Hours can be calculated as:

Service Hours: ([30] x [45] + [5] x [60]) / [60] = 27.5 hours
