PD+Demos+and+Pilots

Purpose of Demonstration and Pilot process
Provider Directories Demonstration and Pilot projects will vet Provider Directories specifications in a real-world setting by evaluating not only the technology and standards, but also provide a test bed to evaluate the interaction of technology, implementation support, and operational infrastructure required to meet Provider Directories use case objectives at the stakeholder or organization levels.
