2025 data and analytics content agenda

Regular data updates across analytical tools

Expect quarterly data updates on tools drawing from Medicare data, and annual or biannual updates for our forecasting, demographic, and clinician supply tools. See the update calendar for full details.

Continuous user experience and methodology enhancement

Benefit from regular improvements to our analytics and data tools to improve the user experience and yield strong analyses. For example, we recently added historical trend analyses to the Demographic Profiler and simplified market comparisons in the Market Scenario Planner. We plan on building out even more localized volume estimates and forecasts for the Market Scenario Planner.

Enrich tools with qualitative research

Advisory Board research enriches the analytical tools by offering holistic inputs grounded in real-world evidence, rather than relying solely on historical data. Our sector knowledge helps structure analyses to make the tools easy to use for your most important questions.

Publish data-driven research

Data flows back into Advisory Board’s research and events. This year’s agenda includes creating archetypes for geographic volume trends and future growth and updates to our annual site-of-care report.

Provide insights from proprietary surveys

We run regular surveys of Advisory Board members to understand their priorities. In 2025, we plan on surveying health system strategic planners on their top challenges, priorities, and plans. We can also partner with your organization to run custom surveys as part of a larger custom contract.
