Of those 60 patients, \u003cstrong\u003e2\u003c\/strong\u003e required an unscheduled reprogramming visit because their initial settings weren't optimal. Here's the quick math to see where we stand:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"card_smpl_formula\"\u003e (2 Unscheduled Reprogrammings \/ 60 Total Implants) = 0.033 or 3.3% \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince \u003cstrong\u003e3.3%\u003c\/strong\u003e is below the \u003cstrong\u003e5%\u003c\/strong\u003e target, that quarter looks good. What this estimate hides is whether those 2 events were due to the procedure itself or patient non-compliance later on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"card_smpl\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"card_smpl_header\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"\/cdn\/shop\/files\/fml_20_fml-20-blog-tips-icon.svg\" alt=\"Icon\" class=\"icon_how_to_use\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTips and Trics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"lst_crct_blog\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTie a small portion of practitioner compensation to this metric.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrack reprogramming reasons to isolate procedural vs. hardware failure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure billing codes defintely separate scheduled vs. unscheduled work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf patient onboarding takes longer than \u003cstrong\u003e14 days\u003c\/strong\u003e, monitor those implants closely for instability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"FinancialModelsLab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49303481155827,"sku":"cardiac-resynchronization-therapy-kpi-metrics","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/6191\/2762\/files\/cardiac-resynchronization-therapy-kpi-metrics.webp?v=1782677998","url":"https:\/\/financialmodelslab.com\/products\/cardiac-resynchronization-therapy-kpi-metrics","provider":"Financial Models Lab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
