See what our Market Scenario Planner can do for you

Our most popular forecasting tool can project future patient utilization of services for any geographic region and model the impact of five key drivers of change that best reflect specific markets.

Advisory Board’s Market Scenario Planner tool lets you see growth forecasts for inpatient and outpatient volumes in your area. We built the tool so members can compare growth rates across services, sites, and markets against each other, and create a unique strategic plan based on factors that could shift volumes in your market.
