The Authoritative Hospital Database™
Current data update released September 21, 2020
6,000+ Hospitals, with 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.
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.
