GuidingPatients Data

Physician data you can act on.

We unify 97 health-system directories into one NPI-keyed record per physician — with booking links we verify every week. Everything else on the record — quality scores, hospital context, market data — exists to answer one question: is this the right physician, and can you book them?

The dataset

One record. Two layers.

Every physician record combines data we build ourselves with data we license exclusively. No other company can sell this combination.

GuidingPatients proprietary

Directory & scheduling layer

Built and owned by GuidingPatients. Nobody else has it.

  • 97 health-system provider directories, scraped every month
  • Booking URLs validated every week — dead links never ship
  • Specialties, locations, headshots, languages, appointment types
  • Every record keyed to NPI and traced to its source directory
Exclusive license · Verzi Health

Context layer

Context for every physician record — 335M+ rows licensed exclusively from healthcaredata.io.

  • Their quality: MIPS scores and prescribing patterns, 1M+ clinicians
  • Their hospitals: star ratings, patient experience, safety, finances
  • Their market: service areas, competition, and ACO networks
  • Their provenance: 45+ public sources with visible licenses and refresh dates
Directory layer + Context layer Joined on NPI One unified physician record

The license flows one way. Verzi Health data comes in. GuidingPatients data never goes out.

Who sees what

One record. Four audiences.

The same unified record renders differently for each buyer. Same NPI, same pipeline — a different lens per audience.

Methodology

Fresh beats big.

Legacy provider databases go stale the day they ship. Ours re-verifies itself on a schedule you can audit.

MONTHLY

Scrape

Every one of the 97 health-system directories, captured in full, every month.

ON INGEST

Unify

Records de-duplicate across systems on NPI. One physician, one record, every source attached.

WEEKLY

Verify

An automated checker tests every booking URL. Broken links leave the dataset before a patient sees them.

ALWAYS

Publish

Every record carries its source and last-verified date. You can audit any row back to its origin.

Coverage

97 health systems and growing.

We add systems every month, prioritized by patient demand and market size.
