Guidepoint Data was launched in 2016 to offer quantitative insights into a broad array of industries. Data products range from raw data feeds to primary data to custom data and analytics. The team continues to build out new products and expand coverage to complement Guidepoint’s leading phone consultation, event and survey offerings. These alternative data-driven products provide clients with a unique understanding of sector and individual company performance. Guidepoint Data has focused on building an alternative data offering to complement its existing high-valued primary data products (Guidepoint TRACKER). This continuously expanding catalogue spans the healthcare, travel, and commercial vehicle movement sectors. Our flagship product, the Qsight hospital purchasing dataset, is built from proprietary data compiled from nearly one-third of all U.S. hospitals. This dataset provides investors, manufacturers and consulting firms with unprecedented, near real-time insight into the monthly purchasing of U.S. hospital consumables, medical devices and other physician preference items.

Collection Methodology

Transaction-level medical device purchasing data are acquired by our data partner who provides analytics services to member healthcare institutions.  These data are aggregated and anonymized to provide insights into healthcare purchasing trends within several specialized medical device markets.  Upon receiving weekly deliveries of these transactions, our team conducts extensive cleansing, outlier removal, ticker mapping, and projections to manufacturer revenue, which we then deliver to our clients.
