The National Practitioner Data Bank is a database of adverse events involving physicians and other practitioners. Querying the database is mandatory for hospitals in several situations. So too, hospitals are required to report specified adverse events. Thus, hospitals need to be able to identify incidents that are reportable events, events that require them to update the databases, and any possible liability issues that may surround the hospital's reporting duties. The author argues that the regulations are unclear in addressing these issues. Likewise, he notes that practitioners should be aware of other problems with the reporting system, including the lack of sufficient Data Bank security.
国家从业者数据库是一个包含涉及医生和其他从业者不良事件的数据库。在几种情况下，医院必须查询该数据库。同样，医院也被要求报告特定的不良事件。因此，医院需要能够识别可报告事件、需要更新数据库的事件以及围绕医院报告职责可能存在的任何潜在责任问题。作者认为，这些法规在解决这些问题上并不明确。同样，他指出从业者应该意识到报告系统的其他问题，包括数据库安全不足。
