## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).

## Healthcare Provider Intelligence - CMS & NPI

Search hospitals and doctors, compare quality ratings, and analyze provider statistics using free CMS Provider Data and NPI Registry APIs. No API key required. Covers hospitals, physicians, quality scores, and state-level market dashboards.

### Features

- Search hospitals by name or location using CMS Provider of Services data
- Look up doctors and specialists by name, specialty, and state via NPI Registry
- Compare hospital quality ratings including star ratings and patient outcome metrics
- Analyze state-level healthcare market statistics and provider distribution
- Generate provider dashboards with quality benchmarks and peer comparisons

### Input Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Description | Default |
|-----------|------|-------------|---------|
| `mode` | string | Analysis mode: `hospital_search`, `doctor_search`, `quality_comparison`, `state_market`, `provider_dashboard` | `hospital_search` |
| `query` | string | Hospital or provider name to search (e.g., 'Johns Hopkins', 'Mayo Clinic') | `Johns Hopkins` |
| `state` | string | US state abbreviation to filter results (e.g., 'CA', 'MD', 'NY') | `MD` |
| `specialty` | string | Medical specialty to filter doctors (e.g., 'Cardiology', 'Internal Medicine', 'Pediatrics') | — |
| `firstName` | string | First name of the doctor to search for (doctor_search mode) | — |
| `lastName` | string | Last name of the doctor to search for (doctor_search mode) | — |
| `limit` | integer | Maximum number of records to return | `20` |

### Output

The actor returns structured JSON data with provider profiles, quality scores, patient outcome metrics, and market statistics.

### Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing at $0.05 per successful analysis.

### Usage

1. Set your input parameters
2. Run the actor
3. Get results from the dataset

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("ntriqpro/healthcare-provider-intelligence").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
