Occupational Therapy Dashboard in Power BI helps therapy clinics review revenue, cost, billable hours, net income, session completion, clients, referrals, therapist results, service mix, and operations in one visual reporting file. Occupational therapy teams often handle clinical, financial, and operational data in different exports: sessions, diagnosis categories, referral sources, therapist names, clinic locations, priority levels, service types, and monthly cost records. When these numbers stay scattered, managers spend more time preparing reports than improving care delivery.
This Power BI dashboard brings those signals into 5 report pages, 6 top-level KPI cards, multiple slicers, and 15 chart views. It is designed as an analytics layer, not as an EHR or billing system. Open the PBIX file in Power BI Desktop, replace the sample source with your own structured data, refresh the model, and use the pages to review performance quickly.

Dashboard Pages Explanation
1 – Overview Page
The Overview Page is the main leadership view. At the top, it shows Total Revenue, Total Cost, Total Billable Hours, Net Income, Session Completion Rate, and Total Clients by Status. These cards help users understand financial results, workload, completion, and client distribution before moving into detailed pages.
Session Completion Rate by Overall Sessions compares completed activity against overall session volume. It helps managers see whether scheduled therapy work is converting into completed sessions.
Total Clients by Status shows the client pipeline by status. This view helps teams understand how many clients are active, pending, completed, discharged, or in another status group.
Total Revenue and Total Cost by Month Name compares income and expense movement across months. It is useful for finding periods where revenue grows, costs rise, or margin pressure needs investigation.
2 – Care Trends
The Care Trends page focuses on volume, referral, and time-based service patterns. It helps therapy managers understand whether workload is growing, whether completed session volume is stable, and which channels are bringing clients into care.
Total Billable Hours by Quarter shows workload across quarterly periods. Clinics can use this chart to plan therapist capacity and compare demand across the year.
Completed Session Count by Month Name tracks service delivery month by month. A drop in completed sessions may point to cancellations, seasonal patterns, staffing constraints, or referral changes.
Total Clients by Referral Source identifies the channels that produce client volume. This helps leadership evaluate physician referrals, digital inquiries, partnerships, internal referrals, and other sources.
3 – Therapist
The Therapist page gives managers a provider-level performance view. It is useful for reviewing client satisfaction, completion consistency, and the financial profile of delivered service types.
Avg Satisfaction Score by Therapist compares client experience across therapists. This chart can support coaching conversations and highlight consistently strong service delivery.
Session Completion Rate by Therapist shows completion consistency by provider. Lower completion rates can lead managers to investigate scheduling, follow-up, caseload mix, or appointment adherence.
Total Revenue and Total Cost by Service Type connects service mix with financial results. It helps users understand which services generate more revenue and where costs are concentrated.
4 – Services
The Services page reviews therapy delivery across session types, diagnosis categories, and clinic locations. It helps teams see what care is being delivered and where revenue is coming from.
Total Billable Hours by Session Type shows how therapist time is distributed. This can help with capacity planning and workload review.
Total Clients by Diagnosis Category explains the clinical mix of the client base. Managers can use it to understand demand by condition group and plan skills, staffing, or programs.
Total Revenue by Clinic compares revenue across clinic locations. Multi-site therapy groups can use this view to spot strong locations and areas needing attention.
5 – Operations
The Operations page is built for management review of client distribution, priority, and monthly profitability. It helps operations teams see where demand exists and which client groups may require faster action.
Total Clients by Region shows where clients are located. This supports outreach planning, regional capacity review, and territory-level analysis.
Total Clients by Priority highlights the urgency mix of the client base. Managers can use this chart to make sure high-priority cases are visible during reviews.
Net Income by Month Name tracks profitability across months. This helps leadership connect care activity and cost movement to financial outcomes.
