Insights
35+ prepared ranking questions over Medicare provider, facility and ACO data, with scope and cohort controls.
Open Insights -- in the sidebar under Workspace.
Insights is a question picker. The left pane lists prepared questions; the right pane runs the ranking and shows the answer with a short narrative explaining why it matters.
Every question is a real query against the Medicare public files, not a saved screenshot. Changing scope re-runs it.
Question categories
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Ask by Drug | Who prescribes a specific drug the most; who writes the most claims for it; who puts the most patients on it; who spends most per patient on it; who spends most on a brand that has a cheap generic |
| Spend and Money Flow | Where is Medicare drug money going; who spends most on brand-name drugs; who submits the largest charges; who collects the most from Medicare |
| Volume and Throughput | Who writes the most generic prescriptions; who bills for the most services; who serves the most beneficiaries; who performs the widest variety of procedures; who writes the most prescriptions overall |
| Risk and Prescribing Patterns | Who writes the most opioid prescriptions; which prescribers are most opioid-dependent; who writes the most antibiotics; who treats the highest-risk panels |
| Behavior and Efficiency | Which high-volume prescribers lean hardest on brand-name drugs; who bills farthest above the allowed amount; which prescribers spend most per patient |
| Scored Target Lists | Best diabetes drug launch targets; highest-priority oncology accounts; best cardiovascular drug targets |
| Chronic-Condition Specialists | Who treats the most cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular, dementia, depression or chronic kidney disease patients |
| Capacity and Footprint | Which hospitals have the most inpatient capacity; which laboratories run the most tests |
| Value-Based Care | ACO quality scores, savings, savings rate, beneficiaries covered, counties served, participating providers |
Question kinds
Behind the categories, questions run in four different ways:
- Ranking -- straight sort on one field. "Who writes the most prescriptions."
- Ratio -- a computed share, markup, per-unit or prevalence figure over a qualified pool, with a minimum denominator so tiny panels do not top the list. "Brand reliance", "charge aggression".
- Composite -- a weighted multi-factor score. The scored target lists combine, for example, diabetes prevalence (weight 3), brand spend (weight 2) and patient complexity (weight 1).
