Metric source guide

Where to find your practice metrics.

AileronMD does not need a direct connection to your systems. Use standard monthly reports, enter the aggregate values, or upload the CSV template.

Scheduling, appointment status, provider rosters, visit totals, payer mix, and sometimes quality or patient-experience summaries.

Billing or RCM

Collections, charges, adjustments, Days in A/R, aging, allowed amounts, and reimbursement summaries.

Accounting

Operating expenses, net revenue, payroll totals, and one-time transactions that may distort a month.

Payroll or HR

Staff and provider FTEs, turnover, training expense, and staffing changes that need operational context.

Scheduling

Third-next-available, no-show rate, and utilized time compared with available scheduled time.

The current 16-metric intake

Use the same reporting period and definition each month. If a value is unavailable, leave it blank rather than estimating it.
