Test the controls behind revenue, operating metrics, refreshes, and follow-through. Your selections are used only on this page and are not sent to MarinoDMC. Refreshing the page clears them. No email or patient information is required.
Keep patient and clinical information out of this exercise.
Use system names, aggregate totals, metric rules, control evidence, and owner roles. Do not enter or send patient names, contact details, appointment notes, treatment details, medical records, or other protected health information (PHI). This page does not ask for free-text responses and does not store your selections.
Readiness check
Score the reporting system behind the dashboard.
Mark “Yes” only when you could point to current evidence. Use “Partly” when the practice exists but is informal, incomplete, or inconsistently applied.
Confirm that booked activity, cash received, and finance totals can be explained without silently forcing unlike numbers to match.

Metric reference
Give familiar labels operational definitions.
These working definitions are starting points, not universal standards. Replace each one with the rule your owners approve, then keep the label, formula, time basis, grain, inclusions, exclusions, and source fields together.
Booked revenue
D01
The agreed value of qualifying appointments assigned to a period using a stated date basis. It represents scheduled activity, not cash received.
Decisions to document
Booking date or appointment date
Included appointment statuses
Listed price or expected net value
Packages, discounts, deposits, cancellations, and reschedules
Collected revenue
D02
Funds actually received in the period under an agreed cash definition, with payment timing and adjustments made explicit.
Decisions to document
Gross or net of refunds and chargebacks
Tax and tips included or excluded
Gift-card and package sale versus redemption
Membership payments, credits, and processor timing
Rebooking
D03
The share of eligible completed visits or clients that create another qualifying appointment within the agreed window.
Decisions to document
Visit-level or client-level denominator
Window and qualifying future status
Same service or any eligible service
Standing appointments, cancellations, and new clients
Utilization
D04
Qualifying booked or delivered provider time divided by the provider time made available for comparable work.
Decisions to document
Booked, completed, or productive hours
Working availability source
Breaks, training, leave, blocks, and no-shows
Provider, service, room, and location constraints
Membership retention
D05
The share of an eligible starting member cohort that remains active at the end of the stated period under documented status rules.
Decisions to document
Cohort and observation window
Active, paused, past-due, and cancelled statuses
New joins and reactivations
Plan changes, upgrades, and grace periods
Provider revenue credit
D06
The documented rule that assigns revenue credit to a provider for management reporting; it is not automatically the same as payroll or cash collection.
Decisions to document
Booking, rendering, selling, or collecting provider
Splits and team-delivered services
Retail, packages, memberships, and redemptions
Refunds, transfers, corrections, and effective date
Definition check: Ask one operations owner, one finance owner, and one report user to calculate the same recent period independently. A disagreement is useful evidence of a rule, source, or grain that still needs to be made explicit.
Example next step
Turn low scores into a gap map.
Start with observable reporting behavior, then name the smallest useful control and the role accountable for it. The sample below is entirely fictional and is not a client result, benchmark, or description of any specific business.
Gap
Observed signal
First useful control
Owner role
Gap
Booked revenue changes depending on the report opened
Choose the operating question, document one time basis, and retain the other as a separately named metric.
Owner role
Operations + finance
Gap
Rebooking rate cannot be reproduced
Observed signal
One team member counts future appointments per visit; another counts unique returning clients.
First useful control
Fix the denominator, eligible statuses, and look-forward window; test the definition on a small known sample.
Owner role
Operations lead
Gap
Provider view looks current after a failed source load
Observed signal
The dashboard publish time updates, but the source data-through date does not.
First useful control
Display source freshness, set a lateness alert, and stop or label publication when a required source is incomplete.
Owner role
Reporting owner
Gap
Provider revenue ranking is disputed
Observed signal
Package sales credit the seller while redemptions credit the rendering provider, without a written rule.
First useful control
Separate sales and service-delivery views, document allocation rules, and keep payroll logic out unless specifically approved.
Owner role
Finance + operations
1. Preserve the gapDo not hide unexplained differences just to make a dashboard look complete.
2. Fix the controlPrefer a reconciled rule, check, or owner before another chart or filter.
3. Retest the decisionConfirm the repaired report changes what the owner can decide or investigate.
