GENERAL SUMMARY AND PURPOSE:

The Network Data Steward is the accountable owner for the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of provider and roster data used across the clinically integrated network (CIN). This role ensures source-of-truth alignment between internal systems and external partners (payers, delegated entities, credentialing, directories) by governing intake, validation, and publication of provider demographics, affiliations, panels, locations, specialties, and network participation statuses. The Data Steward operationalizes data standards, monitors data quality (DQ) metrics, drives remediation, and enables compliant reporting for value-based contracts, network adequacy, and provider directory requirements. The position collaborates cross-functionally with Credentialing, Contracting, Analytics, IT, Provider Relations, and Payer Operations to sustain a trustworthy network dataset that underpins care access, attribution, and performance.

SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE, EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:

• Strong understanding of provider data domains (NPI, TIN, taxonomy, specialties, locations, affiliations, effective dating, network participation).

• Proficiency with Microsoft 365 (Excel—lookups, pivot tables, Power Query), and comfort with CRMs/ticketing tools and data visualization (Power BI/Tableau).

• Excellent attention to detail, documentation discipline, and ability to manage multiple deadlines.

• Familiarity with credentialing and directory standards (e.g., NCQA), CMS/State directory requirements, and payer roster specifications.

• Working knowledge of SQL for data validation/extracts and data reconciliation.

• Exposure to MDM platforms or provider data tools (e.g., Informatica MDM, Reltio, IBM, symplr, OneHealthPort, CAQH, or payer portals).

• Own end-to-end roster intake (payers, credentialing, practices), normalization, validation, and ingestion to the CIN’s master provider dataset (MPD/MDM).

• Maintain accurate provider demographic and practice data: NPI, TIN, specialty, taxonomy, locations, panels, accepting status, languages, affiliations, effective/termination dates, and payer network participation.

• Process and track roster adds/terms/changes (ATC), ensuring audit trails, approvals, and timely publication to dependent systems and partners.

• Coordinate directory updates and attestations; ensure data freshness within required cycles (e.g., 30–90-day attestations, or payer-specific cadences).

• Support compliance with payer directory requirements, CMS/State rules, NCQA standards, and delegation agreements as applicable.
