Title: National Practitioner Data Bank for Adverse Information on Physicians and Other Health Care Practitioners: Reporting Adverse and Negative Actions 
Abstract: Public Law 100-93 amended section 1921 of the Social Security Act to require that each State has in effect a system of reporting disciplinary licensure actions taken against all licensed health care practitioners and entities. It also requires States to report any negative action or finding that a peer review organization, private accreditation entity, or a State has concluded against a health care practitioner or entity. Section 1921 directs the Secretary to provide for maximum appropriate coordination in the implementation of these reporting requirements with those of the Health Care Quality Improvement Act of 1986 (title IV of Pub. L. 99-660). Section 1921 requirements will be incorporated into the National Practitioner Data Bank.
