Deband Analysis

Run the Deband Analysis report to review patients whose Actual Removal Date falls in the date range you specify. The report includes the phase of treatment that has been completed, along with statistics about that phase. The report also tracks the total appointments the patient kept and missed, and the appointments you consider to be emergency visits.

Report Requirements​

 - To be included on the report, a patient must satisfy certain appointment and contract requirements.

Appointment Type / Procedure Classification - To calculate the Adjustment and Emergency visits that the patient has kept, you must identify these types in your Appointment Type / Procedure editor. You may also want to classify Debond procedures to make this report as effective as possible. See "Appointment Type / Procedure Editor" for details about assigning the "type".

Actual Appliance Removal Date - The patient must have an actual appliance removal date, within the date range you specify, recorded on the Findings page of the patient folder.

Contract - The financial data on the report is from the contract that is assigned to the same treatment phase as the actual appliance removal date.

Run This Report

  1. Open the Report​

     - Home ribbon bar > Reporting section > Reporting > Appointment > Deband Analysis > Run. (You can also use the Search field to find the report you want to work with.) You might also be able to run this report or form from your Recent Reports or Quick Reports list. See "Run Edge Cloud Reports" for details.

  2. Choose Report Settings​

    • Select the options to use for choosing records and generating this report. Choose carefully, as your selections will affect which patients are included in the report. (If the settings panel is not visible, click the Show/Hide icon in the upper left corner of the Reporting window.)

    Start / End Dates - Enter the range of dates to include on this report, or select a single date for both the Start Date and End Date fields to run the report for an individual date. You can type a date in the fields, or click the calendar icon to select a date. Your selected date or date range will appear just under the report title when you view your report; if you select a date that is not today, this date will be different than the run date that appears in the report header.

    Group By Treatment - Enable the Group by Treatment option to group the results by phase of treatment.

    Financial Calculation Option - Choose whether the financial calculations for each treatment will be based upon the total treatment fee charged, or the total amount actually paid so far for each patient included on the report. Note that you may get very different results, depending upon which financial calculation you use.

    Patient Filters - You can choose to exclude patients with zero dollar balances, or no contract, assigned to the treatment phase, and choose to exclude patients that have not kept an appointment with the type "Debond".

  3. Subgroup - You can optionally choose a subgroup to use to narrow the records to include on the report. Only records that fit your selected subgroup as well as all other report settings will be included. If you use a subgroup, the report will display the name of your selected subgroup just under the report name, so you know which criteria was used to generate the results. See "Subgroup Editor" for details.about creating subgroups.

  4. View Results - If needed, click View at the top of the report settings panel to view the results on your screen. When you run a report or form from your Recent Report list, or when you run a Quick Report, the initial results are sent to your screen immediately, with one exception: A Quick Report that has the Print Only option enabled will not show your results on the screen at all, but continue with the printing options.

  5. Manage Options and Output - With the results on your screen, you can choose the output with the toolbar at the top of the report window. See "Report Output Options" for details.

More Information

Report Title & Header - Whether you view the report on your screen or print it, the report title and run date appear in the header of each report page. If you used subgrouping or other report options, that information appears just under the report title so you know which criteria was used to generate the results.
