What is the Physician Dictionary?
The Physician Dictionary stores physician information for your facility, including name, NPI, and contact details. Many NRDR registries use Physician Dictionary records to identify interpreting or participating physicians during data submission and reporting.
Important: Physician records are not shared across facilities. If a physician works at multiple facilities, the physician must be added separately for each facility.
