Abstract: Technologies are provided for class of trade recommendations for healthcare sites. In some embodiments, a computing system can access data indicative of operating conditions of a healthcare site over a historical time period, and can access second data indicative of fee schedules corresponding to respective classes of trade. The computing system can determine, based on the data and the second data, a performance metric for the healthcare site according to a first class of trade (COT) of the respective classes of trade, and can determine, based on the first data and the second data, the performance metric for the healthcare site according to a second COT of the respective classes of trade. The computing system can generate, based on the performance metric and the second performance metric, a recommendation to configure the healthcare site according to one of the first COT or the second COT, and can supply the recommendation.
