Using these numbers
Each page has a "Cite this page" box with ready-made wording and a link to the table as CSV. Please name the original agency (CMS, HRSA or FDA) and the data release date, and link to the page so that readers can see the method. All figures are descriptive: they are counts and averages of official records, not rankings of quality, and they say nothing about any one provider. See also open data, data freshness and corrections.
