What is the Distinct New Patients tile?
The Distinct New Patients tile shows the total number of new patients who have completed their first-ever appointment at the practice within the selected date range.
Tracking brand new patient numbers helps evaluate practice growth and the effectiveness of marketing and patient outreach activity.
💡Top tip: You can drill down into performance by selecting a specific month or week directly from the graph to view detailed activity for that period.
