HRSA’s NPDB is in a unique position to temporarily waive fees, granting NPDB access to the nation’s hospitals, health centers, health plans, state licensing boards, federal agencies, and other eligible health care SUMMARY: jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES Number of responses per respondent VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:19 Apr 16, 2020 Jkt 250001 entities in support of their efforts to mobilize and appropriately deploy health workforce professionals.
