  dental practice startup checklist: Registries for Evaluating Patient Outcomes Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality/AHRQ, 2014-04-01 This User’s Guide is intended to support the design, implementation, analysis, interpretation, and quality evaluation of registries created to increase understanding of patient outcomes. For the purposes of this guide, a patient registry is an organized system that uses observational study methods to collect uniform data (clinical and other) to evaluate specified outcomes for a population defined by a particular disease, condition, or exposure, and that serves one or more predetermined scientific, clinical, or policy purposes. A registry database is a file (or files) derived from the registry. Although registries can serve many purposes, this guide focuses on registries created for one or more of the following purposes: to describe the natural history of disease, to determine clinical effectiveness or cost-effectiveness of health care products and services, to measure or monitor safety and harm, and/or to measure quality of care. Registries are classified according to how their populations are defined. For example, product registries include patients who have been exposed to biopharmaceutical products or medical devices. Health services registries consist of patients who have had a common procedure, clinical encounter, or hospitalization. Disease or condition registries are defined by patients having the same diagnosis, such as cystic fibrosis or heart failure. The User’s Guide was created by researchers affiliated with AHRQ’s Effective Health Care Program, particularly those who participated in AHRQ’s DEcIDE (Developing Evidence to Inform Decisions About Effectiveness) program. Chapters were subject to multiple internal and external independent reviews.

  dental practice startup checklist: Explainable AI: Interpreting, Explaining and Visualizing Deep Learning Wojciech Samek, Grégoire Montavon, Andrea Vedaldi, Lars Kai Hansen, Klaus-Robert Müller, 2019-09-10 The development of “intelligent” systems that can take decisions and perform autonomously might lead to faster and more consistent decisions. A limiting factor for a broader adoption of AI technology is the inherent risks that come with giving up human control and oversight to “intelligent” machines. For sensitive tasks involving critical infrastructures and affecting human well-being or health, it is crucial to limit the possibility of improper, non-robust and unsafe decisions and actions. Before deploying an AI system, we see a strong need to validate its behavior, and thus establish guarantees that it will continue to perform as expected when deployed in a real-world environment. In pursuit of that objective, ways for humans to verify the agreement between the AI decision structure and their own ground-truth knowledge have been explored. Explainable AI (XAI) has developed as a subfield of AI, focused on exposing complex AI models to humans in a systematic and interpretable manner. The 22 chapters included in this book provide a timely snapshot of algorithms, theory, and applications of interpretable and explainable AI and AI techniques that have been proposed recently reflecting the current discourse in this field and providing directions of future development. The book is organized in six parts: towards AI transparency; methods for interpreting AI systems; explaining the decisions of AI systems; evaluating interpretability and explanations; applications of explainable AI; and software for explainable AI.

In Dental Practice Hero, the reader will learn the systems Dr. Etchison used: -to grow his startup to 1M in collections the first year, and continue to grow 30-40% each year after to almost 3M in just 5 years and still growing! And all out of 5 ops! -to destress the day to day of running his practice, so that he could only do 3 days/week of clinical. -to become the leader that influences practice culture so positively, that practice growth becomes organic. Reviews: Paul's book has all the elements necessary to assess your practice as well as your life and make it exceptional. Most books written for dentists, are designed to provide some cheerleading, give you a few helpful nuggets to improve you practice, and then motivate you to sign up with their consulting services. This book, however, breaks down piece-by-piece every component of a highly functioning practice and provides the tools and insight to take your practice the highest level possible. You get ALL the nuggets needed to redesign your practice and in-effect create the life you desire. Thank you Paul for providing this book at a critical time when many dentists are scrambling to find the answers to an ever-changing field. - Dr. Lance Pietropola Dr. Paul's Book Dental Practice Hero is an easy to digest, real world entertaining look at the way all of us private practitioners should be practicing. He provides humor insight and a lot of great and easy to understand examples of what he is trying to get across to the reader. He organizes the book into subcategories that make it simple to tackle the issues we face in our dental offices one problem at a time. What I really enjoyed was how he uses a different perspective on how to view things we see as road blocks and turns them into manageable bumps in the road. A great read. Definitely recommend. Picked up a lot of great information that I should have implemented when I started working in private practice years ago. - Dr. David Sanders Dental Hero, is a must read for any entrepreneur. A truly inspiring and enjoyable piece of literature. Dr Etchison's philosophies are now at the core of how we practice/manage our business. - Dr. Sunil Kurup Great Guide for modern methods combined with compassionate dentistry. Comprehensive methods to differentiate your dental practice and increase you income! I have implemented the methods in the book and it has helped my office grow past 1.5M in a 1 doc practice with room to grow. - Dr. Joe Lee
