#Healthcare - the analysis of the specialty referrals across the United States

Data questions:

• Within a local CBSA, show which hospitals specialists typically refer patients to
• Analyze how facility type referrals differ by specialty (e.g. Do orthopedists refer to different types of facilities than cardiologists?)

Data source:

• DocGraph Hop Teaming Dataset (the 2017 Free version): https://careset.com/datasets/

• The NPPES Data Dissemination Full Replacement Monthly NPI File (the big one): https://download.cms.gov/nppes/NPI_Files.html

• The December 2019 POS CLIA CSV File and Layouts: https://www.cms.gov/Research-Statistics-Data-and-Systems/Downloadable-Public-Use-Files/Provider-of-Services/
