NPDB launches hospital attestation initiative
Editor's Note
The Joint Commission on February 14 announced that the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) has launched a new initiative for US hospitals to complete their attestation when renewing their NPDB registrations.
The NPDB is a repository of reports on medical malpractice payments and adverse actions related to healthcare practitioners, providers, and suppliers.
An attestation confirms that an organization has submitted all reportable actions and malpractice payments to the NPDB.
