Overview
Dataset Summary
The CarePrecise database provides professional, group practice, and hospital-level data on U.S. healthcare providers.
The dataset includes information on physicians and other clinicians and supports customized data pulls based on National Provider Identifiers (NPIs) supplied by the user. A key feature is the ability to obtain clinician contact information—including mailing addresses and email addresses—making it particularly useful for workforce research, survey recruitment, and outreach initiatives.
Caveats
- Costly licensing structure may limit accessibility.
- Data accuracy depends on source data quality and update frequency.
- Primarily suited for workforce and contact-based research rather than clinical outcomes research.
- Users must ensure compliance with applicable privacy and communication regulations when using contact information.
Examples of Outcomes Examined
- Clinician contact information for survey recruitment
- Workforce distribution and organizational affiliations
- Practice and hospital affiliations
- Provider-level outreach and engagement strategies
