The Physician Referral Table Should Query NPPES or Comparable Database

It is extraordinarily cumbersome to look up and enter all information needed for entries in the Physician Referral Table. Functionality that pulls from this table should be able to rely on a query at the point of use. This would: 1) prevent the necessity to spend countless hours searching, entering, reviewing, and updating information 2) would help to bolster CCDA sending numbers for Promoting Interoperability 3) would facilitate efficiency and communications between providers of care.
