Next Level Doctor Social Graph by Fred Trotter.
From the webpage:
At Strata RX 2012, we (NotOnly Dev) released the Doctor Social Graph — a project that visually displays the connections between doctors, hospitals and other healthcare organizations in the US. This conglomeration of data set shows everything — from the connections between doctors who refer their patients to each other to any other data collected by state and national databases. It displays real names and and will eventually show every city.
This is THE data set that any academic, scientist, or health policy junkie could ever want to conduct almost any study.
Our goal is to empower the patient, make the system transparent and accountable, and release this data to the people who can use it to revitalize our health system.
This is important.
It is as simple as that.
The project seeks to collate data on relationships in the medical system.
Can’t tell the players (or plan for reform) without a program. This is potentially that program.
I once met a person being treated by a physician who owned a drug store. Under 25 years of age with 30 separate prescriptions.
This is a step towards correcting that sort of abuse.
