Major Takeaway: We may disagree on what content should be there but if it is there it ought to be correct.
Private funding may be available IF make "safe harbor"
when you say what will you pay for- need to know what to get done, who is responsible
what does it mean to have a national director of the KIND of info NPESS puts out vs what NPESS is supposed to do
Was consensus on NPESS being approved, no consensus of what NPESS should be
from CMS current position NPESS will not become a provider directory, it is out of scope for NPESS.
What is scope? what isn't? What are the constraints for NPESS? This needs to be clarified.
Given that...should the government have a national provider directory? No consensus.
Can NPESS be open source to contribute to making NPESS better?
Need willingness to help.
Notion of marketplace of provider data
If create a system where you can "complain" about the content of NPESS, needs to be accountability
Look to SMART of FHIR model, NPESS adopt practices
who gets to complain
who complain repeatedly?
It was noted: That NPESS directory has been updated in order to receive dig end pts (direct address) and can make available to facilitate info sharing. Not same as a national provider directory.
