FACT:
What's included in a Background Report?
Disciplinary Actions
- State Sanctions
- Federal Sanctions
- Disciplinary Actions
Disciplinary actions are actions taken to punish or restrict physicians who have demonstrated professional misconduct. HealthGrades reports state and federal disciplinary actions (if any) from the previous 5 years except when a physician's license has been revoked or surrendered.
Physicians with a disciplinary action in one state will often move to another state where they may have a clean record. Since HealthGrades painstakingly compiles disciplinary action information from all 50 states, you'll know if a physician has an action in more than one state.
Board Certification- Is your physician board certified?
- In what specialties is your physician certified to practice?
Certification lets you know that a physician has gone above and beyond what medical licensure requires, receiving additional training and examination to be certified in a particular specialty.
A physician who is not board certified may still be an excellent physician. Some physicians choose not to apply for certification. If you are considering a doctor who is not board certified, it may be important to know why he or she is not certified.
Certification lets you know that a physician has successfully completed an accredited educational program, passed several evaluations, and possesses the knowledge, skills, and experience needed to provide care in the certified specialty. Once certified, physicians must attend continuing medical education programs throughout their careers in order to remain certified.
