Why is this Important?

Up-to-date provider data is required to support patient/member needs like filling prescriptions, facilitating communication between care teams, or finding a new doctor. With millions of healthcare practitioners across the United States, keeping provider records clean and accurate is daunting. This analysis shows substantial changes in demographic and license information over time, impacting where and how providers practice and the services available to consumers. Additionally, not all metropolitan areas are created equal, with some areas showing provider growth and exceptional specialist coverage, while others are seeing a drain of providers or a specialist shortage.
