Information Collection Request Title:
Survey of Eligible Users of the National
Practitioner Data Bank, OMB No. 0915–
0366—Reinstatement With Change.
Abstract: HRSA plans to survey the
users National Practitioner Data Bank
(NPDB). The purpose of this survey is to
assess the overall satisfaction of the
eligible users of the NPDB. This survey
will evaluate the effectiveness of the
NPDB as a flagging system, source of
information, and its use in decision
making. Furthermore, this survey will
collect information from organizations
and individuals who query the NPDB to
understand and improve their user
experience. This survey is a
reinstatement of the 2012 NPDB survey
with some changes.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The survey will collect
information regarding the participants’
experiences of querying and reporting to
the NPDB, perceptions of health care
practitioners with reports, impact of
NPDB reports on organizations’
decision-making, and satisfaction with
various NPDB products and services.
The survey will also be administered
to health care practitioners that use the
self-query service provided by the
NPDB. The self-queriers will be asked
about their experiences of querying, the
impact of having reports in the NPDB on
their careers and health care
organizations’ perceptions, and their
satisfaction with various NPDB products
and services. Understanding selfqueriers’ satisfaction and their use of the
information is an important component
of the survey.
Proposed changes to this ICR include
the following:
1. In the proposed entity survey, there
are 37 modules and 258 questions. From
the previous 2012 survey, there are 15
deleted questions and 13 new questions
in addition to proposed changes to 12
survey questions.
2. In the proposed self-query survey,
there are 22 modules and 88 questions.
From the previous 2012 survey, there
are 5 deleted questions and 5 new
questions in addition to proposed
changes to two survey questions.
Likely Respondents: Eligible users of
the NPDB will be asked to complete a
web-based survey. Data gathered from
the survey will be compared with
previous survey results. This survey
will provide HRSA with the information
necessary for research purposes and for
improving the usability and
effectiveness of the NPDB.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions, to
develop, acquire, install and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information, to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information, and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this Information
Collection Request are summarized in

Information Collection Request Title:
National Practitioner Data Bank for
Adverse Information on Physicians and
Other Health Care Practitioners—45
CFR part 60 Regulations and Forms,
OMB No. 0915–0126—Revision.
Abstract: This is a request for OMB’s
approval for a revision to the
information collection contained in
regulations found at 45 CFR part 60
governing the National Practitioner Data
Bank (NPDB) and the forms to be used
in registering with, reporting
information to, and requesting
information from the NPDB.
Administrative forms are also included
to aid in monitoring compliance with
Federal reporting and querying
requirements. Responsibility for NPDB
implementation and operation resides
in HRSA’s Bureau of Health Workforce.
The intent of the NPDB is to improve
the quality of health care by
encouraging entities such as hospitals,
State licensing boards, professional
societies, and other eligible entities 1
providing health care services to
identify and discipline those who
engage in unprofessional behavior, and
to restrict the ability of incompetent
health care practitioners, providers, or
suppliers to move from state to state
without disclosure or discovery of
previous damaging or incompetent
performance. It also serves as a fraud
and abuse clearinghouse for the
reporting and disclosing of certain final
adverse actions (excluding settlements
in which no findings of liability have
been made) taken against health care
practitioners, providers, or suppliers by
health plans, Federal agencies, and State
agencies. Users of the NPDB include
reporters (entities that are required to
submit reports) and queriers (entities
and individuals that are authorized to
request for information).
The reporting forms, request for
information forms (query forms), and
administrative forms (used to monitor
compliance) are accessed, completed,
and submitted to the NPDB
electronically through the NPDB
website at https://www.npdb.hrsa.gov/.
All reporting and querying is performed
through the secure portal of this
website.
This revision proposes changes to
improve overall data integrity. In
addition, this revision contains the four
NPDB forms that were originally
approved in the ‘‘National Practitioner
Data Bank (NPDB) Attestation of Reports
by Hospitals, Medical Malpractice
Payers, Health Plans, and Certain Other
Health Care Entities, OMB No. 0906–
0028’’ which will be discontinued upon
approval of this ICR.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The NPDB acts primarily
as a flagging system; its principal
purpose is to facilitate comprehensive
review of practitioners’ professional
credentials and background.
Information is collected from, and
disseminated to, eligible entities
(entities that are entitled to query and/
or report to the NPDB as authorized in
Title 45 CFR part 60 of the Code of
Federal Regulations) on the following:
(1) Medical malpractice payments, (2)
licensure actions taken by Boards of
Medical Examiners, (3) State licensure
and certification actions, (4) Federal
licensure and certification actions, (5)
negative actions or findings taken by
peer review organizations or private
accreditation entities, (6) adverse
actions taken against clinical privileges,
(7) Federal or State criminal convictions
related to the delivery of a health care
item or service, (8) civil judgments
related to the delivery of a health care
item or service, (9) exclusions from
participation in Federal or State health
care programs, and (10) other
adjudicated actions or decisions. It is
intended that NPDB information should
be considered with other relevant
information in evaluating credentials of
health care practitioners, providers, and
suppliers.
Likely Respondents: Eligible entities
or individuals that are entitled to query
and/or report to the NPDB as authorized
in regulations found at 45 CFR part 60.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose, or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden

Information Collection Request Title: National Practitioner Data
Bank for Adverse Information on Physicians and Other Health Care
Practitioners--45 CFR part 60 Regulations and Forms, OMB No. 0915-
0126--Revision.
Abstract: This is a request for OMB's approval for a revision to
the information collection contained in regulations found at 45 CFR
part 60 governing the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) and the
forms to be used in registering with, reporting information to, and
requesting information from the NPDB. Administrative forms are also
included to aid in monitoring compliance with Federal reporting and
querying requirements. Responsibility for NPDB implementation and
operation resides in HRSA's Bureau of Health Workforce. The intent of
the NPDB is to improve the quality of health care by encouraging
entities such as hospitals, State licensing boards, professional
societies, and other eligible entities \1\ providing health care
services to identify and discipline those who engage in unprofessional
behavior, and to restrict the ability of incompetent health care
practitioners, providers, or suppliers to move from state to state
without disclosure or discovery of previous damaging or incompetent
performance. It also serves as a fraud and abuse clearinghouse for the
reporting and disclosing of certain final adverse actions (excluding
settlements in which no findings of liability have been made) taken
against health care practitioners, providers, or suppliers by health
plans, Federal agencies, and State agencies. Users of the NPDB include
reporters (entities that are required to submit reports) and queriers
(entities and individuals that are authorized to request for
information).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ ``Other eligible entities'' that participate in the NPDB are
defined in the provisions of Title IV, Section 1921, Section 1128E,
and implementing regulations. In addition, a few federal agencies
also participate with the NPDB through federal memorandums of
understanding. Eligible entities are responsible for complying with
all reporting and/or querying requirements that apply; some entities
may qualify as more than one type of eligible entity. Each eligible
entity must certify its eligibility in order to report to the NPDB,
query the NPDB, or both. Information from the NPDB is available only
to those entities specified as eligible in the statutes and
regulations. Not all entities have the same reporting requirements
or level of query access.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The reporting forms, request for information forms (query forms),
and administrative forms (used to monitor compliance) are accessed,
completed, and submitted to the NPDB electronically through the NPDB
website at https://www.npdb.hrsa.gov/. All reporting and querying is
performed through the secure portal of this website.
This revision proposes changes to improve overall data integrity.
In addition, this revision contains the four NPDB forms that were
originally approved in the ``National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB)
Attestation of Reports by Hospitals, Medical Malpractice Payers, Health
Plans, and Certain Other Health Care Entities, OMB No. 0906-0028''
which will be discontinued upon approval of this ICR.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The NPDB acts primarily
