Health Forecasts' DemandScope
Effectively Plan and Manage Growth DemandScope

 

DemandScope provides clear, accurate, comprehensive, and user-friendly utilization forecasts that enable unmatched strategic market analyses for:

  • hospitals

  • inpatient-outpatient specialty clinics

  • freestanding surgery

  • imaging or ESRD centers

  • physician offices

  • and many other settings

 

√  The right answer--right on time

  Using the exclusive Fourth Generation models, DemandScope provides the industry's most accurate one, three, and five year local market utilization forecasts. These forecasts are founded in local data - not national data resources applied to the local demographics - but true local market utilization history. With real data from your local market as the foundation, Health Forecasts produces the most accurate predictions of trends for your own community.

√  Drill down in the data to the exact level you need

  Use our highly developed product line definitions to quickly navigate to the key data you are after. Drill down to unique sub-product line groupings and then individual DRGs or ICD diagnoses or procedures. And, with DRGs, you can drill further to see the related ICD diagnoses and procedure codes for that DRG. Based on the Health Forecasts Consolidated National Discharge Data set, these linkages demonstrate the underlying treatment patterns for DRGs.

√  Flexible benchmarks allow you to improve your analysis

No need to run multiple reports to compare sites. You can create multiple unique service area definitions and then compare them directly on any report. Create reports that show multiple levels of geography, side-by-side on the same report. Show individual zip codes, groups of zip codes (e.g. your primary service area), counties, CBSAs, or states all on the same report. Compare service areas around alternative sites directly on the same report.
