Eligible Users of the NPDB Survey

We want your feedback!

It is that time again where we will be conducting a satisfaction survey with the eligible users of the National Practitioner NPDB. You will find the official notice in the Federal Register (Federal Register link) that describes the details of this study.

We will be asking various organizations about their use of the NPDB. We will be collecting information about the usability of the NPDB, including querying and reporting. We will also ask organizations how they use the data and its effect on decisions that organizations have to make concerning health care practitioners. We will be collecting this information from a representative sample of the organizations.

Since the last time that we conducted a nation-wide survey, several enhancements have been implemented to improve the usability and usefulness of the NPDB. Your feedback is essential regarding the continuous query, report forwarding, and the 2012 IT initiatives to reduce duplication, and the addition of work queues. Additionally, we will collect feedback from a sample of self-queriers to better understand their experiences with the NPDB.

The survey is expected to be released on ___________. If you or your organization is selected, please provide your experiences with the NPDB by filling out the survey and submitting it promptly.

Your feedback will provide us with the guidance necessary to better enhance your experiences with the NPDB. We are looking forward to hearing from you!
