How Practice Is Personalized
Practice uses your NPI, specialty, and claims history to build a dashboard that reflects how you actually practice. Here is what shapes what you see and how it evolves over time.

No two clinicians see the same Practice Dashboard. Every metric, benchmark, and spotlight on your dashboard is calculated from your claims history and compared against peers in your specialty.
When you join Jiro, your NPI is used to pull your practice profile which becomes the foundation for everything Practice surfaces. Over time, your metric preferences and the new data that flows in each month keep your dashboard current.

What Shapes Your Practice Pod
Your NPI and Claims History
Your NPI is the anchor for everything in Practice. It connects to a national database of de-identified, aggregated claims to pull your diagnoses, procedures, prescriptions, and payor mix for every metric on your dashboard.
Clinicians with a broader range of diagnoses and procedure types will see a wider set of metrics populated than highly specialized clinicians, who may have fewer entries in certain metric categories.
Your Specialty Selection
The Practice page header displays your name and selected specialty as a reminder that every benchmark you see is calculated within your specialty, not across all clinicians.
You can update your specialty at any time from your profile settings. When you do, your benchmarks will reflect your updated peer group on the next monthly data refresh.
Your Diagnoses and Procedures
De-identified, aggregated claims data gives Jiro a detailed picture of the conditions you treat, the procedures you perform, and the medications you prescribe. Diagnoses are grouped into clinically meaningful categories so that your metrics reflect how you actually practice rather than just raw code counts.
This data is used to compute your metrics, generate your spotlights, and determine which peer comparisons are most relevant for you.
Your Favorite Metrics
The first time you visit your Practice pod, you will be asked to select your favorite metrics from a recommended shortlist. This is designed to surface the numbers most relevant to you right away. Your full Metrics Library is populated automatically alongside your favorites.
Favorites appear prominently on your dashboard. You can update which metrics you have favorited at any time through the Metrics Library.
Your Spotlights
Spotlights are generated directly from your individual claims data and are unique to your NPI, surfacing the most notable moments in your practice each month to give you a balanced view across different areas of your practice, including cost, pharmacy, volume, quality, and productivity.
Three types of spotlights are generated:
- Peer standing: Where your metrics place in the top or bottom 15% nationally, by state, or within your facility.
- Meaningful trends: Where you have seen 10% or more change month over month, or consistent growth across two or more months.
- Leaderboard moments: Where you rank in the top percentile nationally or by state for a specific diagnosis, procedure, or prescription category.
The algorithm avoids surfacing two closely related metrics in the same cycle so that each spotlight tells a distinct story.
How Your Practice Pod Updates Over Time
When you first join Jiro, your Practice dashboard is generated from your available claims history. After that, new data flows in on a monthly basis and your metrics are recalculated from the latest available claims.
Each month, up to 16 new spotlights are generated for your NPI and distributed across four weeks. You will see 3 to 4 new spotlights per week. Historical spotlights are saved so you can look back over time.
Your dashboard is designed to stay current. If a spotlight no longer feels relevant, you can dismiss it. This will not affect your underlying metrics or benchmarks.
What You Can Control
Practice gives you several controls to adjust what you see without changing the underlying personalization that powers your dashboard.
Filters
- Time period: View metrics and benchmarks for a specific month or time window. Defaults to the most recent available month.
- Location: Filter by care location if you practice in more than one setting.
- Data quality: Filter your view to show only time periods with high data completeness. Useful when you want to focus on your most reliable numbers.
Metrics Library
You can add, remove, or re-favorite metrics at any time through the Metrics Library. All available metrics remain in your library even if they are not currently displayed.
A Note On Data Availability
If your claims data is limited or not yet fully available for your NPI, some metric categories may show fewer data points than expected. Metrics with insufficient data volume may not display until enough claims have been processed.
Claims data can have a lag of 30 to 90 days, so very recent changes to your practice patterns will not be reflected immediately.
If your dashboard feels like it is missing data or showing unexpected numbers, try the data quality filter and allow a full monthly refresh cycle. If the issue continues, reach out to support.
