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
