Overview
In Marketscape Insights, on the Explore page, under each tab, there is a single table that displays all providers, post-acute facilities, referrers or suppliers in the states for which your company has a contract. You can filter, sort, and browse this table to narrow the entries displayed to match very specific criteria.
In this article
This article is an overview of the Explore page that is applicable to any module of Marketscape Insights. In this article you will find descriptions of the features that are common to any Explore page, with the details necessary to understand how to use the features described.
Differences between the modules
Each module of Marketscape Insights displays the most relevant metrics depending on your agency's type. For example, Marketscape Insights for Hospice will have different tables and metrics from Insights for HME/Infusion, Home Health, or Skilled Nursing. We provide different metrics to answer different questions.
In addition, every Explore page has tabs for different types of entities that provide access to metrics relevant for each entity type. These are shown in the following table:
Module | Tabs |
Home Health | |
Hospice | |
HME/Infusion | |
Skilled Nursing |
If you look at the table of images above, you can see that there are many different types of organizations or physicians that will be the focus of the different Explore pages. Since this article is an overview of features relevant to all Explore pages, we will use the terms entities or entries to refer to the organization/person represented in each record in the tables.
Where to find the details for each Explore page
To highlight the differences between each Explore page, there is an additional article for each page for every different entity type in each module. If you want to jump directly to an article with the details, click on one of the links in the table below:

Filters - The filters are a powerful tool to help you find specific entries in the main table using selected criteria. Using filters you can quickly narrow the entries and metrics in the table to specific location(s), counts of patients, code sets, and a lot more.
In almost every use of the Explore page, you will start by setting filters.
The filters available are different for each entity type.
Quick Examples

Range Filters
For more information on using filters, see Filters - Overview and Strategy. This linked article contains general use instructions.

Views - After you set up your filters and sorting, you can save those settings in a view using the "Save As" button to the left of the "Select Saved Views" field. When you save the current settings in a view, you will be able to name the view, and then, you will be able to select the view again later.
This will allow you to make custom display settings for the table once and use those settings over and over. This will be especially helpful because the data in Marketscape Insights is updated quarterly.
