There is a suggestion to remove these columns from the PROVIDER table as they are not relevant to population-level observational research .

The NPI is used to link Providers to external information. We may want to keep it. DEA - should go.

This would be a major change, I am going to move it to the major version milestone.

Just to be clear. NPI links to a specific provider, with some listing of credentials (i.e. mid-level vs physician), and most importantly, it links the NUCC provider type codes: https://taxonomy.nucc.org/

This is linkable via the public NPPES download: https://download.cms.gov/nppes/NPI_Files.html

It might seem contradictory, but DEA data is also clinically relevant. It looks like this data is not as available as it was: https://ntrl.ntis.gov/NTRL/dashboard/searchResults/titleDetail/DEA25000.xhtml

But this dataset showed which providers where allows to prescribe specific opioid addition treatments, like Methadone.

The DEA number is not at all public information so i can see excluding it.
