    • About the Provider Search Network Opportunities Page 

    The Provider Search with Network Opportunities page is divided into 4 main sections: 

    1. Overall Potential Improvements. Above the opportunity cards, you can view the potential total savings from all opportunities. Click View all to browse through all the opportunities we recommend viewing. 
    2. Opportunity Statuses. Use the status tabs or quick navigation between opportunities based on their current state:
      • Open: Opportunities where no provider has yet been invited or assigned. 
      • In Progress: Opportunities where at least one provider has been invited to your Private Network or assigned to specific locations. 
      • Dismissed: Opportunities that have been removed from the Opportunities List. 
      • Completed: Opportunities for which you have assigned new providers or have manually marked as completed. 

    3. Top Opportunities List. This list displays the top three opportunities we have identified for you, arranged in descending order by potential cost savings. Each Opportunity Card suggests replacing a primary-ranked provider for a specific trade and location with better-performing providers, based on their scores and potential annual savings.

      Info
      • We display only the opportunities that offer an average improvement of more than 20%. 
      • The scores on each Opportunity Card are calculated based on the averages of the scores from the Replacement Mapping Options. These, in turn, are determined by the average scores of the individual opportunity providers within a Mapping Group. 
      • Each Opportunity Card shows the largest cost savings from one of the Replacement Mapping Options within that card. 


    4. Opportunity Actions.These actions allow you to either remove a selected opportunity from the Opportunities List section or delve deeper into the Replacement Mapping Options of an Opportunity Card.
