Where are your market volumes heading?
Our Estimator tools help predict volumes today and tomorrow
February 24, 2012
By now it’s probably no news to a hospital planner that inpatient growth is expected to slow as shifting payment incentives and strategic priorities lead health systems to reduce unnecessary inpatient discharges and manage case mix tightly. At the same time, our experts predict, certain outpatient services are poised for dramatic surges in utilization.
Every hospital and health system needs to incorporate our latest volume projections into their strategic plans. Yet planners also need to keep a keen eye on local demographic changes, which can significantly affect your market-level forecasts.
Market-specific inpatient and outpatient estimates
Health Care Advisory Board members can use the Inpatient and Outpatient Market Estimator tools to get immediate access to the Advisory Board’s latest utilization forecasts, adjusted for local demographics and population growth.
Limited or no access to market data in your service area? No problem. The Estimator tools use age- and gender-adjusted national use rates to construct an estimate of expected volumes in your market, down to the procedure level.
What’s more, the Outpatient Market Estimator uses our proprietary grouping methodology to show you a “business-perspective” picture of the ambulatory market you can’t get anywhere else.
And now we’ve made it easier than ever before to use our online dashboard and export the results to Excel.
