Under what circumstances should the medical staff report a physician to the NPDB?
Reporting a physician to the NPDB is not to be taken lightly, and hospitals must understand when it is appropriate to do so.

Other times, physicians who should be reported to the NPDB for quality issues fall through the cracks because hospitals don't fully understand reporting guidelines.
