The Need for Reliable Data: Protecting Patients, Clinicians, and Outcomes
More than half (53%) of healthcare provider directory entries are wrong. That means more than half of the time, patients, payers, and care teams are working off wrong, fragmented, or outdated data. These gaps not only delay critical care, they’re costly and, as the price of healthcare rises, that’s a crisis unto itself. Each year, CMS invests nearly $29M in provider data systems like PECOS and NPPES, while the healthcare system spends $2.76B in record maintenance and remediation.
