Available Filters

The following image shows the filters on the Facilities Explore page in Marketscape Insights for Home Health.

Filter Recipes

As mentioned in the Overview and Strategy article, there are many, many possible combinations of filter settings, and what you choose depends on what results you want in the table. In this section, we are going to propose an objective along with filter settings that will give you those results in the Explore page table.

If you are not using an already established default location, your first step for each recipe will always be to set up the location filter. For basic setup instructions, see The Location Filter.

Recipe 1 - Objective: Find hospitals with a minimum number of patients coded for home health at discharge

Confirm the location filter settings for your region of interest
Set the "Facility Type" filter to General Acute Care Hospital

Set the "Patients Coded for Home Health" filter to a minimum number - for the example, we have chosen 200. You will probably need to experiment with this number to get the best results.

Click on the "Apply Filters" button

Once you have created a filter set, if you like the results, add the "Assigned User" filter with "Unassigned" selected. You can then select entries and assign them to your users more quickly.

The Location Filter

Select as many counties as you want. As you add counties, the Cities column will populate with cities in those counties
