Overview
Every Analyze page provides a simple way to produce a default presentation containing the most insightful charts for the selected provider.
In this article we will examine where the content of the default presentation can be found in Marketscape, then we will summarize the content of each section of the default presentation.
To create the default presentation, click 
at the top right of the Analyze page.
Once the default presentation has been created, you can save it and customize it, adding other charts that you have saved to your chart cart.
In this article we need to differentiate between the initial provider, that is, the provider on the Analyze page where we clicked on Presentation, and the post-acute agencies chosen for comparison in the presentation. We call the initial provider - selected, and the agencies - chosen. (The "chosen" post-acute agencies were added to the report using the Add/Edit interface as shown in the image below.)
Where does each Chart come from?
The table below has an image of a default presentation on the left and an overlay image on the right that indicates where each table/chart can be found in Marketscape.
Some charts are built specifically for this presentation and are based on the SNFs you added in the Add/Edit Comparisons interface when you created the presentation. As a result, those tables are unique to the presentation you created and do not exist anywhere else in Marketscape.

Information about Patient Population
 |

|
Patient Diagnostic Mix This chart breaks down the selected Physician's patients by the principle diagnosis indicated on the claim. This chart is found on the selected physician's Analyze page in the Patient Population tab.
|
Patient Age This table gives a simple breakout of the patients for the selected physician by age. This chart is found on the selected physician's Analyze page in the Patient Population tab.

SNF Utilization
This trended metric is the percentage of the selected physician's patients who were admitted to SNF care during the one year reporting period and who were treated by the physician within 3 months prior to admission to home health. The state metrics are included for comparison. This chart is found on the selected physician's Analyze page in the Utilization tab.
|
This table is called "3 Months Prior" in the Presentation. 
SNF Destinations
This table shows the counts of patients treated by this physician who were admitted to the chosen skilled nursing facilities. This table will only contain the SNFs chosen for this report. For a list of all SNFs that admitted your selected physician's patients, navigate to the Analyze page for your selected physician.

Trended Destinations
This table shows quarterly trended counts of distinct patients from the selected physician who were treated by each chosen SNF.
The content in this chart does not appear anywhere else in Marketscape.
Skilled Nursing Facility Quality Metrics

Hospitalization and Readmission RatesThis chart shows three different performance metrics for each of your chosen skilled nursing facilities. Readmissions (blue) - A readmission is a multi event metric where a patient is discharged from inpatient care, is admitted to post-acute care, and is admitted back to any inpatient acute care. The post-acute admission is not necessary for all readmission rates, but since this metric is calculated for a skilled nursing facility, there must be a SNF admission in the middle. This metric can be found in the Insights tab of the SNF Analyze Page, and on the Explore page for physicians - next two images.
Hospitalization Rate: SOC to 30 Days (red) - This metric is the rate at which patients are admitted to inpatient care within 30 days of being admitted to skilled nursing care. An admission is considered a hospitalization even if the patient was discharged from SNF care prior to the admission. This metric is found on the Analyze page for the chosen SNF in the Quality tab in the Hospitalization Rates within 30 Days from Start of Care by Acuity table.
Hospitalization Rate: SOC to 90 Days (orange) - This metric is the rate at which patients are admitted to inpatient care within 90 days of being admitted to skilled nursing care. An admission is considered a hospitalization even if the patient was discharged from SNF care prior to the admission. This metric is found on the Analyze page for the chosen SNF in the Quality tab in the Hospitalization Rates within 90 Days from Start of Care by Acuity table.

Quality SummaryThis bubble chart shows three metrics for each chosen SNF in each bubble (circle); Hospitalization is tracked on the X-axis (horizontal), Readmission is tracked on the Y-axis (vertical), and the size of the circle represents the patient volume. Since the goal is to have the lowest possible Hospitalization and Readmission rates, circles closer to the bottom-left are better performers.
1 - Hospitalization Rate: SOC to 30 Days - This metric is the rate at which patients are admitted to inpatient care within 30 days of being admitted to skilled nursing care. An admission is considered a hospitalization even if the patient was discharged from SNF care prior to the admission. This metric is found on the Analyze page for the chosen SNF in the Quality tab in the Hospitalization Rates within 30 Days from Start of Care by Acuity table.
2 - Readmission Rate - (called Readmit rate in table) - A readmission is a multi event metric where a patient is discharged from inpatient care, is admitted to post-acute care, and is admitted back to any inpatient acute care. The post-acute admission is not necessary for all readmission rates, but since this metric is calculated for a skilled nursing facility, there must be a SNF admission in the middle.
This metric can be found in the Insights tab of the SNF Analyze Page, and on the Explore page for physicians - next two images.
3 - Patient Volume - This is the count of distinct patients treated by the SNF during the most recent one-year reporting period. This metric can be found on the Analyze page for the chosen SNF in the Patient Population tab, in the Patient Volume table.
