The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) has issued a proposed rule to implement ACA provisions designed to eliminate duplicative data reporting and access requirements between the Healthcare Integrity and Protection Data Bank and the National Practitioner Data Bank. The ACA requires the Secretary to transfer all data in the Healthcare Integrity and Protection Data Bank to the National Practitioner Data Bank, and then cease operations of the Healthcare Integrity and Protection Data Bank. The proposed rule consolidates the collection and disclosure of information from both data banks into one part of the Code of Federal Regulations. HRSA will accept comments on the proposal until April 16, 2012.
