TP26 - You Down With UPP? (Ya, You Know Me)

1 hour 10 minutes

Keeping track of accurate physician listings online has become increasingly more complex for hospitals and health systems. Not only do they have to contend with various disparate internal databases, but external commercial websites (like Google, Yelp, HealthGrades, Vitals, etc.) and government/payor websites are also competing to be the sole source of truth when it comes to accurate provider listings. Hosts Reed Smith and Chris Boyer wade through the challenges organizations face trying to manage physician listings, and then entertain the idea of a Unified Physician Profile (UPP). Featuring an interview with provider listing expert, Cynthia Newton of HCCG, Inc.
