CareSet Journal was born out of the DocGraph community. In 2010 DocGraph was formed as a movement to create open health data transparency. The efforts of the DocGraph community, guided by Fred Trotter, led to the first national Provider Referral data release by the US government. The original “DocGraph Data” has helped researchers, journalists, and companies around the nation to provide data-backed healthcare solutions.

DocGraph Hop Teaming is latest version of the classic "DocGraph" dataset that shows how health care providers in the United States work together.Please take a look at the extensive documentation for the reasons for the improved HOP dataset.The DocGraph Teaming data set shows how healthcare providers in the United States team together to provide care to Medicare patients. The dataset is a simple graph data structure, using the National Provider Identifier as keys. We have not heard of a larger, publicly available graph data set that uses real identities.

The Medicare Referring Provider Utilization for Procedures (MrPUP) dataset details the healthcare procedures that Medicare providers referred in the outpatient setting in 2014, and is particularly useful in understanding how specific doctors use blood tests, CT scans, and MRIs to diagnose patients.The dataset is available at https://careset.com/datasets/

Here are the materials for the workshop that I did with Fred Trotter on using Gephi to analyze the DocGraph data set at the 2013 StrataRX conference: http://strataconf.com/rx2013/public/schedule/detail/29840 Details on how the GraphML and Gephi files were produced are detailed. The edge data set is based on the DocGraph data set available from here: http://notonlydev.com/docgraph-data/ as the V1.0 open source dataset. The NPPES or NPI node information is from the file: npidata_20050523-20130113.csv The NPPES data was processed with the following script: https://github.com/jhajagos/DocGraph/blob/master/nppes/npi_schema.sql The subsets of the larger graph are generated by the following criteria: jamestown_core_provider_graph.graphml -Providers selected with practice addresses in Jamestown, NY -179 nodes with 5,560 edges jamestown_core_and_leaf_provider_graph.graphml Includes providers above and those who are linked to them 1,322 nodes with 12,457 edges albany_core_provider_graph.graphml Providers selected with practice addresses in Albany, NY 1,368 nodes with 44,711 edges Subsets were produced using this script https://github.com/jhajagos/DocGraph/blob/master/extract_providers_to_graphml.py To these files I have added latitude and longitude from geocoding the practice address generated with this script: https://github.com/jhajagos/DocGraph/blob/master/nppes/geocode_nppes_using_arcgis.py The locators were based on ArcLogistics 2012 release 1 data.
