Six personas clear the relevance bar in this slice, and each has a dedicated hub beyond it:
Competitive-intelligence teams take a sixth seat quietly: industry-level volume and margin shifts, edition over edition, put any single distributor's claims into context.
Frequently asked questions
Which dataset should anchor a health care distributors stack?
Anchor on the identifier your work will reuse most often. Account-led stacks anchor on NPPES - roughly 8 million provider identities keyed on the NPI with taxonomy and address sub-files. Demand-led work anchors on the CMS Data Hub's provider summaries, 24 documented fields deep for the 2013-2024 service years. Product-led work starts at openFDA's 137k NDC listings.
Can I filter a pharmacy and DME supplier list by specialty?
Yes, on NUCC taxonomy codes carried up to multiple values per record. Code 332B00000X isolates durable medical equipment and medical suppliers; distinct values separate community/retail pharmacy from specialty and home-infusion operators. Practice-location addresses drive the geography cut, and enumeration dates separate new entrants from incumbents.
How thin are pharmaceutical distribution margins?
Structurally thin, by the HDA Factbook's own accounting: a 1.68% gross margin on $862 billion of 2024 sales through distributors and 0.26% net profit before taxes, the eleventh consecutive annual margin decline. The model works on velocity - 89% order fill rates, 22 days of inventory, $29.7 million of sales per employee, receivables collected in 19.4 days against payables at 54.6.
Can shortage and recall activity be tracked against a wholesale item file?
On identifiers, yes. openFDA's recall collections and dedicated drug-shortage records key to the same product_ndc values as its 137k-listing NDC directory, so an item file joins directly. Orange Book's 48.7k records add the substitution context, and roughly 20.7 million adverse-event reports extend the safety picture back to Q3 2004.
How do product names reconcile across invoices, labels and safety reports?
Through the identifier crosswalk rather than string matching. NDC connects a listing to DailyMed's label documents, the SPL setid versions each label, RxCUI and UNII normalize ingredient semantics, and labeler_name reconciles manufacturers. Build the crosswalk once and invoices, labels and case reports reference the same product.
How far back does US provider identity history go?
Enumeration dates in NPPES run from 2006 onward, giving nearly two decades of entry timing for cohort and churn analysis. Deactivation reason codes, deactivation dates and reactivation dates ride on the row itself, so attrition is measurable rather than assumed - the difference between who exists and who is still operating.
Is there state-level hospital demand data for logistics planning?
HealthData.gov's flagship capacity file runs one row per state-day across 136 columns - staffed beds, occupancy, adult and pediatric admissions, and a critical-staffing-shortage counter - for roughly 56 weeks. Treat it as a frozen teaching series: the run ends May 2024, so it suits modeling and backtests rather than a live gauge.
How is Datadory's health care distributors data delivered?
Files, feeds, or straight into your warehouse - daily, weekly, or hourly, your call. Every record keeps the same columns and join keys whichever channel and cadence you pick, so changing frequency later is configuration rather than migration. Field dictionaries, sample rows and coverage statements ship with the first delivery.
