Overview

The SNF Destinations table on the Physician Analyze page contains a list of all Skilled Nursing facilities that admitted patients treated by the selected physician. There is a dropdown selection that allows you to narrow the table to include only metrics for one of the three breakout claim types, Followed, Last Claimed, and 3 Months Prior.

This table is found in the Destinations tab on the Analyze page.

The primary value of the table is that it shows part of the patient flow through the healthcare continuum; in this case from the physician to the listed Skilled Nursing facilities, which identifies populations of patients and the informal referral relationships between the physician and the post-acute patients.

Use the table below to better understand the metrics in this table.

Metric		Description
SNF Name/NPI		The official entity name/NPI of the SNF as listed in CMS Provider Data (NPI) file
Total SNF Patients		This is the count of the selected named physician’s distinct patients who received SNF services during the reporting period. It is limited to patients who were counted under the three claim types, Patients Followed, Patients 3 Months Prior, and Last Claimed Patients. As such, it is a union of these three claim types, not a total, because a patient could be counted under more than one claim type.
Level of Affiliation		The percentage of SNF patients treated by the selected physician who were admitted to the listed agency during the reporting period.
SNF Patients Followed		The count of distinct patients who received services from the listed SNF during the most recent four quarters with the physician listed as the attended physician on the SNF claim. This metric is currently misnamed in Marketscape. Followed is incorrect, the metric should be SNF Patients Attended.
SNF Patients 3 Months Prior		This metric is the count of distinct patients admitted to the listed SNF during the reporting period who were treated by the physician during the three month reference period prior to the patient's SNF admission.
Medicare Days per Stay		The average SNF stay duration for patients who were discharged by the named facility during the most recent four quarters and who were also treated by the physician within 3 months of their SNF admission.
SNF Readmission Rates These are all calculated from a two year reporting period	30 Day	Percentage of patients who came from an inpatient setting into SNF and were subsequently readmitted to any inpatient setting within 30 days of the first inpatient discharge.
