NPI
NPI may refer to several different concepts depending on the context. Below are the primary meanings of NPI:
National Provider Identifier[edit | edit source]
The National Provider Identifier (NPI) is a unique identification number for covered health care providers in the United States. It was created to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the electronic transmission of health information. The NPI is a 10-digit number that is required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) for all health care providers.
Purpose[edit | edit source]
The NPI is used to identify health care providers in standard transactions, such as health care claims. It replaces other identifiers that were previously used, such as the Unique Physician Identification Number (UPIN).
Application[edit | edit source]
Health care providers can apply for an NPI through the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). The application process involves providing information about the provider, such as name, address, and taxonomy (specialty).
Usage[edit | edit source]
The NPI must be used in all HIPAA standard transactions, including:
Narcissistic Personality Inventory[edit | edit source]
The Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) is a widely used measure of narcissism in social psychological research. It was developed by Raskin and Hall in 1979 and is based on the diagnostic criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).
Structure[edit | edit source]
The NPI consists of a series of statements that respondents must agree or disagree with. It measures various aspects of narcissism, including:
- Leadership/Authority
- Self-absorption/Self-admiration
- Superiority/Arrogance
- Exploitativeness/Entitlement
Applications[edit | edit source]
The NPI is used in research to study the prevalence and correlates of narcissism in different populations. It is also used in clinical settings to assess traits associated with NPD.
