National Aging Program Information Systems data collected and reported to the Administration on Aging in State Program reports. The data is designed to provide performance data on programs and services funded by the Older Americans Act and provide descriptive data on the elderly population in the state and on the infrastructure of home and community based services in place for older persons.

The Administrative Simplification provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) mandated the adoption of a standard unique identifier for health care providers. The National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) collects identifying information on health care providers and assigns each a unique, ten digit, National Provider Identifier (NPI) number. Applications are available at the NPPES website at https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov/NPPES/StaticForward.do?forward=static.instructions
