Overview

The Skilled Nursing Explore page includes one table that displays metrics for all skilled nursing facility in the states your company has contracted to see. Through the use of filters, or by browsing and choosing favorites, you can display a selection of facilities in the table of interest to you.

On the Physicians Explore page and the Hospitals and Agencies Explore page, the primary use case is to target specific providers for attention as potential referral sources. The Skilled Nursing Explore page is useful for comparing your facility with other skilled nursing facilities to evaluate your competitive position. If you are developing new business and want to look for a potential merger or acquisition, this table will help you to evaluate facilities with potential.

Strategy - In general, you will want to start by setting the "Location" filter so the skilled nursing facilities included in the table fit your territory of interest. Then, range filters will allow you to limit the skilled nursing facilities listed in the table to those with specific numbers of patients that you choose when you set the ranges.

Views - Click on the "Select Saved View" dropdown to select a previously saved view. A view is a saved set of filters and sorting that you have saved.
