NPDB 2019 Education Forum

NPDB 2019 Education Forum - April 9, 2018 - HRSA

On April 9th we met with our user community to partner to protect patients at our 2019 Education Forum. Attendees traveled to Maryland from all over the United States to learn more about the NPDB. Participants representing state licensing boards, medical malpractice payers, federal organizations, hospitals, and other health care organizations were eager to learn and collaborate to solve reporting scenarios and discuss reporting requirements.

We held sessions on the different types of reporting requirements for medical malpractice, clinical privileges actions, panel membership actions, other adjudicated actions, and state licensing board actions. We also presented overviews of the NPDB, querying, the Guidebook, and the website.

Presentations from each session are located below under Agenda. For questions about the forum or if you are interested in hosting an event with us, please contact NPDBPolicy@hrsa.gov.
