What you can do with it

1. Look up healthcare providers by specialty or name

Search the NPI registry — 8.4 million+ registered providers — to find doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, and clinics by name, specialty, or location. Essential for credentialing, insurance billing, and provider directory verification.

What you enter:

What	Example
Search term	cardiology or Mount Sinai or a specific NPI number
Categories	Providers only

What you get back:

Provider	NPI	Specialty	City	State
MOUNT SINAI HOSPITAL	1234567890	General Acute Care Hospital	New York	NY
DR. JANE SMITH MD	9876543210	Cardiovascular Disease	New York	NY

Every row is a verified NPI registration from CMS. For credentialing teams, this replaces manually searching nppes.cms.hhs.gov one provider at a time.

---

2. Track FDA drug and device recalls

The FDA issues ~330 drug recall events per year. Search by drug name, manufacturer, or active ingredient to see all enforcement actions, classifications, and safety alerts.

What you enter:

What	Example
Search term	metformin or Pfizer or pacemaker
Categories	Recalls + OpenFDA

What you get back:

Source	Product	Classification	Reason	Firm
FDA Drug Recall	Metformin HCl 500mg	Class II	NDMA above acceptable limit	Aurobindo Pharma
FDA Drug Adverse Event	Metformin	—	2,400 adverse event reports	—
FDA Drug Label	Metformin HCl tablets	—	Current labeling information	—

For pharmaceutical companies, pharmacies, and hospital supply chain teams, this is recall monitoring that would otherwise require checking openFDA daily. Run it weekly on a schedule and you'll never miss a recall in your product line.

3. Search clinical trials by condition or treatment

ClinicalTrials.gov has 530,000+ registered studies. Search by disease, drug, or research topic to find active, recruiting, and completed trials — essential for patients seeking trials, researchers tracking the competitive landscape, or pharma companies monitoring their therapeutic area.

What you enter:

What	Example
Search term	Alzheimer's or CAR-T or GLP-1
Categories	Research only

What you get back:

Source	Study title	Status	Condition
ClinicalTrials.gov	Phase 3 Study of Lecanemab in Early AD	Recruiting	Alzheimer's Disease
NIH RePORTER	Neural mechanisms of cognitive decline	Funded	Alzheimer's
CDC	Alzheimer's Disease Prevalence Dataset	Available	Dementia

Combining clinical trials, NIH grant data, and CDC datasets gives you the full research landscape on any health topic — from bench to bedside.

4. Build a complete healthcare intelligence profile

Search a company name across all 20 sources at once: NPI registrations, FDA recalls, clinical trials they sponsor, NIH grants they fund, and adverse event reports. One search, full picture.

What you enter:

What	Example
Search term	Pfizer or Johnson & Johnson
Categories	All 4 (default)

What you get back:

Source	Result	Type
NPI Registry	PFIZER INC — Organization	Active provider
FDA Drug Recalls	LIPITOR — Class II	Dissolution failure
ClinicalTrials.gov	Phase 3 COVID-19 Vaccine	Completed
NIH RePORTER	Pfizer-funded oncology grants	Active funding
FDA Drug Adverse Events	15,000+ FAERS reports	Adverse events

This is the kind of comprehensive healthcare intelligence that Definitive Healthcare charges $25,000+/year for. Here it costs a few cents per search.

FAQ

Q: Where does this data come from? A: All 20 sources are official US government databases — NPI registry (CMS), openFDA (FDA), ClinicalTrials.gov (NIH), CDC Open Data, NIH RePORTER, and CMS ACO directory. The Actor accesses them through the SIP Public Data Gateway.

Q: Is this patient data? A: No. All data is aggregate or provider/product-level. No individual patient records are included or accessible. NPI data is a public provider directory. FDA data covers products, not patients.

Q: How fast is a search? A: All enabled sources are queried in parallel. A full 20-source search completes in 3–8 seconds.

Q: Can I search by NPI number? A: Yes. Enter the NPI number as a search term and enable the Providers category to look up a specific provider's registration.

Q: How often does the FDA publish new recalls? A: FDA enforcement reports are published continuously — typically several per week. The Actor queries the latest available data each time you run it.
