Provider history data

Having accurate provider details on NPI, facility, system, location as we join to each claim is hugely important. As providers move around and we filter on state, system, referrals, etc it gets very complicated to be accurate with one provider record.
Ideally the api would let us get all providers at physician, practice/facility/hospital, and system level, and for each the history of movement over time to different regions/systems.

Ben Mesiano: Thankfully, this update is already in motion via https://care-query.canny.io/feature-queue/p/affiliationactivity-system-names .
We found that mapping provider updates in practice activity to affiliation required some extra NLP work and system name normalization to properly surface those changes into current affiliation status.
System affiliation is a notoriously difficult problem to get right, so we welcome your feedback once you get your hands on the update - another tool in the roadmap is to give users the ability to dynamically update the "reported affiliation" of a provider.
