Gap Analysis

Gap Analysis identifies which SOPs your practice is missing by comparing your current procedures against industry best practices for your practice type.

Setting up Gap Analysis​

Gap Analysis requires a Practice Profile to generate relevant recommendations. If you haven't set one up yet, SOPHIE will prompt you to provide:

  • Number of practice locations
  • Number of operatory rooms
  • Team size
  • Dental specialties offered
  • Practice type (general, specialty, group, etc.)

Configure your practice profile from the Gap Analysis page or from Settings > Practice Profile.

Using Gap Analysis​

Navigate to Gap Analysis in the sidebar. The page has four sections:

Overview​

A summary dashboard showing:

  • Total gaps identified
  • Gaps resolved (SOPs created)
  • Coverage percentage
  • Priority breakdown

Gaps​

The main list of identified missing SOPs, organized by category and priority. For each gap:

  • Title -- The recommended SOP topic
  • Priority -- How critical the gap is
  • Category -- Operational area (Clinical, Administrative, Compliance, etc.)
  • Resolution status -- Whether you've created a SOP to address this gap

You can click on any gap to create a SOP directly, and SOPHIE AI can generate the initial content.

Exclusions​

Not every recommendation applies to every practice. The exclusions list lets you mark gaps as Not Applicable with a reason. Excluded gaps are removed from your coverage metrics.

Practice Profile​

Review and update your practice information. Changes to your profile may surface new gaps or remove irrelevant ones.

Refreshing analysis​

Click Refresh Analysis to re-run the gap analysis with your latest SOPs and practice profile. This is useful after creating new SOPs or updating your practice information.
