- Which use case should I start with?
- Exclusion and sanctions screening is the sharpest pain and the quickest to prove — OIG says monthly LEIE screening best minimizes potential liability, and a single NPI check returns the available dated source record. The credentialing and audit-evidence pages draw on the same data and provenance, so they reinforce each other.
- Do the use-case pages serve both developers and compliance buyers?
- Yes. Each use-case page carries a dual-buyer view: developers see a copy-paste request and a sample JSON response; compliance teams see the workflow and the audit-evidence artifact. One URL, because the buying committee evaluates together and the champion forwards a single page.
- What data backs every use case?
- The healthcare use cases draw from named participating sources such as NPPES, PECOS, Care Compare, and OIG LEIE. The wider active production registry does not mean every source participates in every use case or that every source is loaded, complete, or fresh. Supported responses expose only the source, observation date, and methodology fields available for their records.
- Is any patient data involved?
- No. These use cases run against public federal and state records using each source's identifiers — such as NPI where present, CCN for facilities, or a source-specific record key. An NPI is not forced onto sources that do not publish it. There is no PHI in the pipeline.
- Why not just download the raw federal files myself?
- You can. Fonteum adds cross-list matching and records the check time plus available source-snapshot fields. If an export references a separate attestation, that reference applies only to the identified object; it is not an individual-fact signature.
