NPDB Revamps its FAQs

Recently, the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) website revised both the content and appearance of its Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) pages in order to provide more insight and better guidance to its users based upon its call center statistics and other customer feedback. The revised questions and answers are now organized into new categories by audience: Health Care Professionals, Organizations, and Other Topics. There is also a FAQ search bar that allows the user to type in a keyword to search for a topic. See: http://www.npdb.hrsa.gov/faqs/faqs.jsp
