The Authoritative Hospital Database^™

Current data update released May 18, 2021

6,000+ Hospitals, with ownership status, health system, employee count, patient satisfaction ratings, bed count, contact name, address, phone, fax and more.

This is the best-in-class hospital database that brings you deep information on U.S. HIPAA-covered hospitals with their health systems, affiliated physicians and practice groups, together in one clear and concise database.

CarePrecise mines hospital data acquired from the US Department of Health and Human Services and our business partners, including information extracted from multiple databases and hundreds of millions of health insurance claims, using our QoRelate™ data collection and linking technology – aggregated and merged into one easy-to-use file for Microsoft Excel, Access, SQL, FileMaker, or any other spreadsheet, database or CRM software on PC, Mac or Linux.

A comprehensive database of U.S. hospital information.

Extracted from the CarePrecise master provider database with information all of the 6.3 million HIPAA-covered US healthcare providers and additional sources, the Authoritative Hospital Database (AHD) contains records for all HIPAA-covered hospitals. In this database of hospitals we include bed counts, patient satisfaction data, hospital system ownership, and more. Most records include a cabinet-level or director-level contact.

You get bed counts for 95% of hospitals, full contact information on 85%, and fax numbers for 62%. We include detailed patient satisfaction data, employee counts, and medical procedure volumes.

The AHD integrates directly with our extended provider data product to bring you the physicians and practice groups affiliated with the hospitals. This combination of data is the only commercially available hospital dataset of this depth.

NEW: Hospital NPI to CCN Rollup

A CarePrecise Exclusive. Using advanced record-linkage technology, the AHD now includes a new file that makes it possible to mine the vast hospital information available in the National Provider Identifier registry database. Hospitals may have dozens of NPI records, each with its own information about a unit, listing facility type and/or medical specialties practiced, as well as separate contact names. To wield the power of this new feature, you'll need the CarePrecise Master Bundle, which contains all of the publicly available NPI registry data.

At pricing made possible by advanced data collection and record linkage technology.

Our accuracy and pricing truly sets CarePrecise apart from other physician data suppliers. Read about the accuracy of our data...

Product Details

CarePrecise data sets connect together into a single source of truth regarding hospitals and their connected providers. For instance, by adding Gold, Platinum, or the Master Bundle data set to the Authoritative Hospital Database, it is possible to see all of the providers who practice together, including physicians, nutritionists, RNs, and all other taxonomies of healthcare providers, as well as their organizations and employers, using CarePrecise's exclusive CoLoCode co-located provider identifier. By adding the Authoritative Physician Database (APD), you can view all physicians affiliated with the hospitals and health systems.

File (Beta): AuthoritativeHospitalDB_RollupNPI	The purpose of this file is to present all of the Type 2 National Provider Identifier records belonging to each particular hospital/CCN Number. It is prepared by automation using the CoLoCode and hospital-specific taxonomy codes in a proprietary record-linkage system, and should not be relied upon as perfectly complete. NPI records are not rolled up to a company per se, but to a hospital entity occupying the physical location ascribed to the NPI record. It is possible that separate businesses own an NPI record ascribed to the hospital, such as a hospital-located clinical pharmacy, laboratory, or physician group.
