Description
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is seeking information from vendors regarding the establishment of a trusted, accurate, and comprehensive source of healthcare provider information. The goal is to improve care coordination, reduce administrative burden, and enhance transparency across the U.S. healthcare system. The vendor will be responsible for providing ground truth datasets and data aggregation, quality, and assurance services. The vendor should have experience in managing data relationships with state licensing boards, negotiating data licensing agreements, and delivering documented improvements to provider directory data accuracy. The vendor should also be able to provide a description of any licenses, specific expertise, and information relevant to this RFI.
Some key points to consider include:
• The vendor should be able to establish direct licensing relationships with authoritative provider data sources.
• The vendor should be able to negotiate field-level publication terms and ensure that sensitive fields are not inadvertently included in public output.
• The vendor should have experience in managing data relationships with state licensing boards at scale.
• The vendor should be able to deliver documented improvements to provider directory data accuracy.
• The vendor should be able to provide a description of any licenses, specific expertise, and information relevant to this RFI.
