Healthcare Data Solutions (HDS) is partnering with REALscore.com to provide nationwide dental practice data for REALscore's online location evaluation and practice growth services, according to the companies.
REALscore provides a standardized objective score that rates the suitability and growth potential of a proposed dental practice location anywhere in the U.S.
REALscore's algorithm uses current practitioner location data from Healthcare Data Solutions as part of the calculations in the formula. Factors such as competing and referring practice proximity, consumer and business demographics, patient location information, drive-time analysis, and various property aspects combine to deliver the location score. In addition to explanations about why a score is good or bad, the data is also integrated into maps of the area.
