We've enabled the Additional Beds/Construction Assumptions for all users, so you can manage the number of existing beds and construction beds being used in your metrics.
These assumptions allow you to add or subtract beds to the Supply and Construction metrics used in any given analysis.
For example, if you're running an analysis on a site and know there are 100 AL Construction beds in the market that are not being accounted for in the data, then you can enter 100 in the Additional AL Construction assumption to incorporate that value into your calculations.
The 100 construction beds that you entered will not display on the Competition Report but it will be included in all metrics that reference AL Construction Beds, such as AL Construction or Competitive AL Supply FY.
A few important notes about these assumptions:
If you're running an analysis with multiple sites and enter a value for any of these assumptions, all of the sites will include these assumed values in their calculations. For example, if you run an analysis on 3 addresses with 2 buffer areas (6 sites total) and you enter 100 into the Additional MC Beds assumption, then all 6 sites will include the 100 Additional MC Beds in their supply metrics.
These assumptions will not display on any competition report. For this reason, we suggest that you add these assumptions to your reports for reference. Learn how to manage Report Templates here.
These assumptions are helpful in adapting supply counts for the total market in question and are particularly helpful when accounting for a new facility not yet in the supply database. If you'd like to edit supply information for an existing facility, please read this article on Step 5: Supply Settings.
We hope you find these assumptions useful. Please reach out if you have any questions.
