Maintenance Instructions

FYI: Terminologies Provider and Other Provider Taxonomy both will be updated simultaneously from same source data

  1. Download the latest source files from the following locations:

  2. Load the downloaded data into your data warehouse. These three files should be in three tables in a schema of your database.

    • NPPES NPI Data (Note: source data comes zipped with many files, only the "npidata_pfile....csv" and "othername_pfile....csv" are required.)
      • Snowsql may be used to load large file from local machine to snowflake.
    • NUCC Health Care Provider Taxonomy
    • CMS Medicare Provider and Supplier Taxonomy Crosswalk
  3. Follow the steps outlined in the README here:
    https://github.com/tuva-health/provider

You should have exported the seed to an S3 bucket by now

  1. Create a branch in docs. Update the last_updated column in the table above with the current date
  2. Submit a pull request

The below steps are only required if the headers of the file need to be changed. The Tuva Project does not store the contents of the terminology file in GitHub.

  1. Create a branch in The Tuva Project
  2. Copy and paste the updated header into the Provider file
  3. Submit a pull request
