Entity Users Survey Instructions – Query

The National Practitioner Data Bank Short Survey

Thank you for your participation in this survey. Please note that the National Practitioner Data Bank will be referred to as the NPDB throughout the survey. This survey primarily focuses on NPDB queries, and the term “practitioner” consistently refers to health care practitioners.

The survey takes 5 to 10 minutes to complete. If you aren't directly responsible for querying practitioners, we kindly ask that the individual overseeing querying within your organization completes this survey.

You do not have to complete all of it in one sitting. If at any time during the survey you wish to exit and return to complete the survey at a later time, your responses will be automatically saved. By clicking on the link provided in the invitation letter, you will be returned to the section of the survey where you exited. Once you submit the survey, you will not be able to retake the survey, and the link provided will cease to provide access to the survey.

Please use the navigation buttons at the bottom of each page of the survey to move through each section of the survey or to access previous pages to change responses.

Warning! Do not use your Internet browser’s “back”, “forward”, “stop”, or “reload/refresh” buttons for navigation while taking this survey. This may cause the survey to lose track of the page that you are on and may invalidate your responses or prevent you from continuing the survey.

Your responses will be confidential. The data will be used for improving the NPDB. Please click the navigation button below to continue.
