Allows you to search for practitioners with a variety of parameters.
Each type of filter you select will be additive, effectively acting as an "AND WHERE" clause to the rest of your filters. For example, a search request with parameters for both practitioner_type and specialties like so:
{
"specialties": [
"Cardiovascular Disease Physician"
],
"practitioner_types": [
"Physician"
]
}will filter for practitioners that have a practitioner_type of "Physician" (ex. MD,DO) AND a specific NUCC specialty of "Cardiovascular Disease Physician".
However WITHIN a given filter type, multiple values will be unioned, effectively acting as an "OR WHERE" clause within that filter. So a search body of the following, with multiple specialties selected:
{
"specialties": [
"Cardiovascular Disease Physician",
"Nuclear Cardiology Physician"
],
"practitioner_types": [
"Physician"
]
}Will search for a practitioner with a "Practitioner Type" of "Physician", and a NUCC Specialty of "Cardiovascular Disease Physician" OR "Nuclear Cardiology Physician".
Confidence Scores
Confidence Score is the probability that the record agrees with the values you would get by calling the practitioner today.
Orderly combines data from multiple sources, and for each we have empirically evaluated the actual agreement rate as well as the decay in their quality. Each field’s confidence score takes into account the data source, data age, and our decay methodology to estimate the probability of agreement.
For each record in the Orderly Directory, we combine multiple data sources to get the highest-confidence value possible. The value surfaced is the highest-confidence instance of the provider record you searched.
Sources
Each record in the Orderly Directory may be comprised of data from a variety of underlying sources. We serve the highest-confidence instance of each value. The possible sources of information and their definitions are:
Orderly Data: Orderly originated this data point through proprietary processes.
Curated Public Data: Orderly normalized data from public sources like NPPES and CMS.
Partner Data: Orderly has access to proprietary data through data sharing agreements.
Phone Attested: Orderly directly called the provider and someone in their office verbally attested to the correctness of the provider’s information.
