Initially, I would expect that you will potentially have the same provider coming into your registry from different sources. Are you planning on generating a single record of truth for each provider? If so, how are you looking to tackle conflicting data (i.e. different spellings, addresses, etc.) Also, if you're looking at generating a single provider record of truth, how are you planning on addressing on an ongoing basis adds, edits, and deletes from the various source participants?
