2026 provider data management research

We asked 151 health system and health plan leaders. Every single one said a trusted provider record matters. Then we asked how many actually have one.

Five findings you can walk straight into a budget meeting with.

  • Every number in the report carries its own methodology note, so you can put it on a slide without hedging it.
  • Where your provider data breaks, and why throwing people at it never sticks
  • What it’s costing you: denied claims, leaked referrals, patients sent to an address that closed in 2024
  • Why fixing identity first is the difference between a fix and a band-aid
  • A three-layer plan for getting your whole network right

Independent and double-blinded. Fielded by Sage Growth Partners.
