In a new report on medical board sanctions by state, Public Citizen argues for more public access to a confidential federal database of doctor disciplinary actions.
examining changes in practice patterns for clinicians who faced multiple malpractice claims."It provides almost no context for the information it reports, making it even harder for patients to make sense of what they see there," Mello told Medscape.
"Ideally, this amendment should include free continuous query access by medical boards for all their licensees," the report said. "In the absence of any action by Congress, individual state legislatures should require their licensing boards to query all their licensees or enroll in continuous query, as a few states already do."
But FSMB disagreed with Public Citizens' approach to ranking boards, saying it could mislead. The report lacks context about how boards' funding and authority vary, Humayun Chaudhry, DO, FSMB's chief executive officer, said. He also questioned the decision to focus only on serious disciplinary actions.
In an email to Medscape, Oshel said that the Public Citizen analysis focused on the number of licensed physicians in each state and DC that can be obtained and compared reliably. It avoided using the term "practicing physicians" owing in part to doubts about the reliability of these counts, he said.
