In light of Section 1921 updates, a recent newspaper article took a closer look at practitioner sanctions on the NPDB and found missing information. The article, produced by The Los Angeles Times and ProPublica, claims that states only sporadically report practitioners, such as nurses, pharmacists, psychologists and other licensed health professionals, and that states faced “no penalties,” for their actions.
After reading this report and considering your own experiences with the NPDB, how confident are you that the NPDB contains up to date information?
Take our poll and see how your opinion compares to your peers.
