A Quick Guide to Tracking Your UDAs Effectively

In the dental profession, keeping track of Units of Dental Activity (UDAs) is essential for both compliance and profitability. This quick guide will walk you through effective strategies for tracking your UDAs efficiently, leveraging Denota, an innovative web app designed to simplify administrative tasks in dental practices.

Understanding UDAs

UDAs are a key performance metric in NHS dental services in the UK. They measure the amount of work completed by a dental professional. Each type of dental activity is assigned a certain number of UDAs, and tracking these is crucial for meeting contractual obligations and ensuring proper remuneration.

Challenges in Tracking UDAs

Despite their importance, tracking UDAs can be challenging due to the manual effort required and the risk of errors. Discrepancies often arise between the number of UDAs performed and the compensation received by an associate. These discrepancies can result from delays in submitting data to the NHSBSA or disputes regarding the claims. Dental professionals often juggle multiple tasks, making it easy to overlook accurate UDA tracking, which can lead to discrepancies and financial discrepancies.
