Abstract
Techniques and architectures for clustering health care providers based on data regarding services that have previously been provided by health care providers are described herein. For example, the techniques and architectures may receive data from devices of health care providers regarding services that have been provided by the health care providers to patients. The techniques and architectures may perform various machine learning techniques, including clustering, to categorize health care providers into multiple clusters based on the services that were provided. Health care providers that lie within a cluster may be associated with a category of the cluster. While health care providers that lie outside a cluster, and have designated themselves as being associated with or are otherwise associated with a practice area that is associated with the cluster, may be flagged as potentially practicing outside an area that is designated by or otherwise associated with the health care providers.
