How healthy is my practice?
Enter the numbers you know, skip the ones you do not, and see how ten core metrics compare with reference ranges. Nothing is guessed on your behalf, and every benchmark says where it came from, including the eight that have no published source.
Practice Information
A few basics for context. The reference ranges are the same for every practice and are recorded with your submission. Every number field on the next three steps is optional: skip what you do not know and it is simply left out of the score.
Required. Optional fields can be left blank; they are simply left out of the result.

How the score works
- Only the metrics you enter count. A skipped field is left out; it is never scored as if it were poor.
- A score needs at least 4 of the 10 metrics. Below that you will see “Not enough data” rather than a grade built on too little.
- You will see a confidence label based on how many metrics you entered: High (8 or more), Moderate (5 to 7), Limited (4).
- Every benchmark shows its source tier. Some are compiled from published industry reporting; others are practice-management conventions with no primary source. We say which is which instead of presenting them all as facts.
- The score compares your inputs with reference ranges. It is not a measure of clinical quality, and no result here is a guarantee of anything.
Disclaimer: Two of the ten reference ranges are compiled from published industry survey reporting; the other eight are practice-management consulting conventions with no primary published source. Ranges are approximate; individual practice performance varies by specialty, location, payer mix, and practice maturity.
