States Fail to Report Disciplined Caregivers to Federal Database
States Fail to Report Disciplined Caregivers to Federal Database

Hundreds of state agencies nationwide have never told the federal
government about health professionals they disciplined, undermining a
central database meant to weed out dangerous caregivers.
The federal database is supposed to contain disciplinary actions taken
against doctors, nurses, therapists and other health practitioners around
the country so that hospitals and select others can run background checks
before they hire new employees.
Federal officials discovered the missing reports after a ProPublica
investigation in February [1] found widespread gaps in the data, including
hundreds of nurses and pharmacists who had been sanctioned for serious
wrongdoing.
Since then, regulators nationwide -- prodded by federal health officials
-- have submitted 72,000 new records to the database, nearly double the
total submitted for all of 2009.
All states are required by law to report the licensed health workers
they've sanctioned to databases run by the U.S. Health Resources and
Services Administration (HRSA). But ProPublica found that many state
agencies either didn't know about the requirement or simply weren't
complying.
The failure to report means frontline health workers who have a record of
on-the-job misconduct, incompetence or criminal acts aren't flagged to
hospitals or other potential employers, who pay a fee to run checks on job
applicants.
