CMS Provider Data API

Hospital quality ratings, nursing home data, and Medicare coverage. No authentication required.

Data Model

  • Dataset — A published dataset (e.g. Hospital General Information, Nursing Home Compare).
  • Distribution — Download format for a dataset (CSV, JSON, API endpoint).
  • Theme — Category grouping (Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Physicians, Home Health).

Key Datasets

  • Hospital General Information — Star ratings, ownership, emergency services, location.
  • HCAHPS — Patient satisfaction survey results by hospital.
  • Timely and Effective Care — Quality measures (heart attack, pneumonia, surgical care).
  • Complications and Deaths — Readmission and mortality rates.
  • Nursing Home Compare — Quality ratings, staffing, health inspections for nursing homes.
  • Physician Compare — Individual physician data, specialties, group practices.

Metastore API

  • /metastore/schemas/dataset/items — List all available datasets with metadata.
  • /metastore/schemas/dataset/items/{id} — Single dataset details.
  • Datasets have identifier, title, description, modified, and distribution arrays.

Gotchas

  • The metastore API lists datasets; actual data downloads use distribution URLs.
  • Star ratings range from 1-5 (5 = best); some hospitals are "Not Available".
  • HCAHPS scores are percentages (top-box, middle-box, bottom-box responses).
  • Provider data is updated quarterly; check modified dates.
  • Blue Button API (beneficiary claims data) requires separate OAuth registration.
