Core Functionality

Represents the initial aim of access to healthcare provider information that is Current, Public, and Administrative in nature:

1. affiliations()
2. clinicians()
3. hospitals()
4. laboratories()
5. nppes()
6. opt_out()
7. order_refer()
8. providers()
9. reassignments()
10. pending()
11. taxonomies()

Out of Scope

Represents functionality that is surplus to requirements, e.g. historical provider data (either kept current or no longer updated), an applicable area of interest large enough to be moved into its own package, or tangential functionality:

1. quality_payment()
2. quality_eligibility()
3. open_payments()
4. utilization()
5. outpatient()
6. prescribers()
7. beneficiaries()
8. conditions()
