Every office manager starts the day the same way: scanning the schedule to see who's confirmed and who hasn't. In this QUICKcast, Intiveo Co-Founder and CEO Josh DeVries breaks down data from 2,500+ dental and oral surgery practices to show what's actually keeping schedules full in 2026, and where revenue slips away. You'll walk away with real benchmarks on confirmations, recalls, referrals, and reviews, plus a clear view of where to focus first.

Course Learning Objectives:

By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:

Pinpoint which channels and send times drive the strongest confirmation rates, and apply that timing to their own scheduling workflows.
Compare their practice's recall and referral conversion rates against solo, multi-location, and enterprise benchmarks to find the biggest opportunity for improvement.
Turn missed opportunities into recovered revenue using the same tactics top-performing practices already rely on.

QUICKcast begins at 1:00 pm Eastern on our AADOM Facebook Page, AADOM LinkedIn Page, AADOM Instagram Page, and AADOM YouTube Channel
