Updating Data Sources and Clinical Information

Find-A-Doctor pulls data from various MedStar Health source systems to enable search and populate provider profiles. Maintaining accurate data in the source system is essential to ensuring provider and location data is consistent across all patient-facing channels. The information below is a guide to help understand where data is sourced and the steps required to modify incorrect data within the appropriate source system.

Employment status is populated from PeopleSoft - Cindy Swank.
Providers can request changes to their specialty or scope of practice (SOP) by logging into Kyruus ProviderMatch using their MedStar credentials. For step-by-step instructions for updating your specialty or scope of practice (SOP), click here.

For assistance with login issues, please contact [email protected] or Melanie Supple.

Note: Once the specialty and scope of practice edits are submitted, the Service Line Lead or VPMA will review and approve/deny Scope of Practice and Clinical Area of Focus features.
To request an edit to a provider's credentials, education or board certification, please contact the medical office staff director at your hospital.

Please Note: The Field of Study and Degree fields are not ingested into Kyruus ProviderMatch and will not be reflected on a provider's Find-A-Doctor profile.

Note: Insurance Information is standardized and maintained by Managed Care (MFC Echo) for all MedStar Employed Providers.

Practice locations are pulled from three data sources, each of which is used to populate provider information on clinical and patient-facing channels (e.g. referral orders, billing invoices, etc.). In the event you need a practice location address edited, please use the process below to ensure the data is updated within all source systems.

  • Scheduling Systems (IDX) - Submit an IDX location edit or addition to [email protected] and [email protected] . If you have issues or need assistance, please contact Cindy Swank.

Do you want to appeal a review on your Find-A-Doctor profile? Please submit your appeal to the Provider Review Transparency Advisory Group.
SOP templates are used to create alignment across provider specialties. A list of current templates is available here. If you do not see a template for your specialty/subspecialty, please contact Melanie Supple to request a new template. Melanie can also assist with modifications to existing templates once clinical approval has been provided. Once approved, templates will be added to all relevant providers based on specialty, unless otherwise decided by clinical governance.

Note: Clinical approval will be required prior to the template being published to ensure appropriate governance. Approvers should be noted as part of the template creation request that is submitted to Melanie Supple.
Providers can request edits to their Find-A-Doctor profile by logging into Kyruus ProviderMatch using their MedStar credentials.
