What this dataset is
Every Medicare-certified hospital with its ownership type, emergency-service status, bed context and CMS star rating, addressed to city, county and ZIP. Identifies the large institutional sites in a market and how they differ in size, ownership and quality. It is published by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and can be queried at county, state and zcta level, refreshed quarterly. Each row is an individual entity — an organisation, site or practitioner — so results can be filtered, routed and turned directly into a call list.
Why it is useful
- Produces routable addresses, so a day in the field can be planned around drive time.
- Shows capacity and service mix, which qualifies an account before the first call.
- Exposes coverage deserts where a facility should exist and does not.
Questions it helps answer
- Which sites inside this radius actually deliver the service I sell into?
- What is the realistic route for a single field day here?
- Where are the gaps between where people live and where services exist?
How different verticals use it
RepVector is vertical-agnostic: this dataset is selected by what your question asks for, not by industry. These are common ways teams put it to work.
Produces routable sites with service mix so a field day is planned around drive time.
Maps installed-base locations for service and replacement cycles.
Identifies delivery points and their density inside a service radius.
Exposes coverage deserts where a site should exist and does not.
How RepVector uses it
- You describe a market in plain language. The geography resolver turns the place you named into the exact identifiers this dataset needs — city to county to state, plus DMA where relevant — so a query at county runs without you knowing any codes.
- The planner selects Medicare Care Compare — hospitals only when your question matches what it actually reports. It is never included to pad a result.
- Returned rows are normalised into the shared metric layer, so figures from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services line up with every other source in the same dashboard instead of sitting in an isolated table.
- Quality checks score coverage and recency. If Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services suppresses or omits a value for your geography, the gap is reported as a gap — nothing is estimated or filled in.
- The result renders as charts, KPIs and, where the rows are entities, prioritised targets you can export to PDF, Excel, CSV or JSON.
What it does not tell you
- Site records describe the location, not the individual clinician or buying committee inside it.

How it fits with the rest of the catalog
Facility locations plus provider rosters give you both the address and the name to ask for at the desk. RepVector queries every selected dataset against the same resolved geography and time window, then normalises the results into one metric layer so they can be charted side by side. These datasets are the most common companions to Medicare Care Compare — hospitals:
