What Qope Is

The problem Qope solves, who it is for, and how it differs from a data portal.

The problem

US healthcare data is public, and that is exactly why it is hard to use.

The FDA publishes the Orange Book, the Purple Book, the NDC Directory, adverse events, recalls and the shortage list -- each in a different shape, each with its own identifiers. CMS publishes Medicare prescriber and service files, ACO performance, and NADAC pricing. HRSA publishes shortage-area designations, underserved-area designations and health-center sites. NIH publishes trials, variants and MeSH. ONC publishes certified health IT.

None of them share a key. The Orange Book knows an ingredient name; Medicare Part D knows a brand and a generic string; the shortage list knows a presentation. Answering "which drugs are going off patent in a market where supply is already fragile and Medicare is still paying brand prices" means joining four registries by hand.

What Qope does

Qope performs those joins and shows the result as an answer, not as four downloads.

  • Drug Profile collapses ten registries into one page per molecule: approval history, exclusivity runway, who makes it, what it costs, whether it is short, what got recalled, and who prescribes it.
  • Patent Cliff scores every upcoming loss-of-exclusivity event by how contestable the market actually is -- a greenfield molecule with no marketed generic is a different opportunity from one with fourteen.
  • Shortages cross-joins the FDA shortage list to the Orange Book supplier base, so a single-source structural failure is visually distinct from a demand spike.
  • Insights answers 35+ prepared ranking questions against Medicare provider data.
  • Territory Brief assembles one state into a single briefing page.

Who it is for

RoleTypical use
Generic and 503B manufacturersFind contestable molecules: patent cliff plus supply gap plus live demand
Commercial and market access teamsSize a territory, rank prescribers, find brand-reliant accounts
Business developmentScreen makers, markets and counties, then track them on Radar
Market research and consultingPull defensible, sourced numbers with the methodology visible
Supply chain and procurementWatch shortages, quiet market exits and recalls before they are announced

What Qope is not

  • It is not a claims database. Qope uses the public Medicare files, which are aggregated and lagged. It does not contain patient-level data.
  • It is not a CRM. Lead lists are a light pipeline layer for the records you find here; they do not replace Salesforce or HubSpot.
  • It is not a forecast engine. Where Qope scores something (contestability, supply-gap priority) the inputs are shown and the score is a ranking device, not a prediction.
  • The design principle

    Every screen should answer a question. If a view shows you a number you cannot act on, or shows a number whose provenance is unclear, that is a bug. Tooltips throughout the product explain what a figure counts and what it excludes -- hover them.
