What is Mean to Know The Patient Life Time Of Your Dental Patients?



How to Measure Patient Lifetime Value

The Patient Lifetime Value is the key success factor in operating any dental practice and it shows the ability to retain patients once they come in the door. By focusing on this long-term value, the dental practice can enjoy higher returns from his existing client base.




What Is Dental Patient Life Time Value?

PLT value is a prediction of the total worth of a dental patient to dentistry over the entirety of their relationship.

Most often, a dentist starts looking for advertising when he or she notices an acute need for patients, hoping for a short-term influx of new work. If the advertising is successful in bringing in patients, it is often terminated – at least until the next time the practice is not attracting enough new patients. Similarly, new patients are deemed monetarily unrewarding if their service includes only standard cleaning and examination procedures. This lack of long-term focus is perpetuated by the absence of any meaningful material in the industry on the value of a dental patient. 
                                                

There are several key benefits to the development and retention of a long-term patient relationship including reduced acquisition costs, referral opportunity, and recurring revenue.

Analyzing Net Promoter Score using Machine Learning

Overview This article presents a reference implementation of a Net Promoter score analysis project that is built by using Machine Learning. In this article, we will discuss associated generic models for holistically solving the problem of industrial Net Promoter score. We also measure the accuracy of models that are built by using Machine Learning and assess directions for further development. Net Promoter Score The Net Promoter Score is an index ranging from 0 to 10 that measures the customer’s loyalty to the brand. Calculation Customers are surveyed on one single question.  “On a scale of 0 to 10, how likely are you to recommend this company’s product or service to a friend or a colleague?” Based on their rating, customers are then classified into 3 categories: detractors, passives, and promoters. continue.......

3D Medical Image Segmentation

This work is based on a Maximum a Posteriori (MAP) estimate of a log-likelihood function that accounts for the shape priori, the spatial interaction, and the current appearance of the tissues and its background (surrounding anatomical structures).

A NOVEL IMAGE-BASED APPROACH FOR EARLY DETECTION OF PROSTATE CANCER USING DCE-MRI

This blog presents a novel non-invasive approach for early diagnosis of prostate cancer from dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI).  In order to precisely analyze the complex 3D DCE-MRI of the prostate, a novel processing frame work that consists of four main steps is proposed. The first step is to isolate the prostate from the surrounding anatomical structures based on a Maximum a Posteriori (MAP) estimate of a log likelihood function that accounts for the shape priori, the spatial interaction, and the current appearance of the prostate tissues and its background (surrounding anatomical structures). In the second step, a non-rigid registration algorithm is employed to account for any local deformation that could occur in the prostate during the scanning process due to the patient’s breathing and local motion.  In the third step, the perfusion curves that show propagation of the contrast agent into the tissue are obtained fr...
