The Health Index scoring system is broken down in to individual metrics that change depending on how long you have been using the platform.

The video below explains how your Health Index Score is broken down across the metrics and how to enterpret your score on PowerBI.

Succesfully following this scoring will lead to a total of 200 points. However, there are some extra criteria to consider: There is a timetable for new practices coming on to Optix and the metrics you are measured on changes appropriately.

First Month – Misc. Sales, Ad Hoc, Emails, Petty Cash, Till Discrepancies and Sight Tests – Total score 120

Second Month – As above, plus Stock – Total score 140

Fourth Month – As above, plus NHS Debt – Total Score 160

Seventh Month – As above, plus Cash and Corporate Debt – Total 200 points If you are a practice that does not do any Corporate or Enhanced schemes then your total score is 180.

Your score each week is then turned into a percentage, based on the current maximum score possible (see above). Please note that if you have not tested during the previous week then although your weekly score will show a zero for emails, your actual score will not be affected by this and is adjusted to take this into account.
