The NPDB was established as an information clearinghouse, to collect and release certain information related to the professional competence and conduct of physicians, dentists and, in some cases, other health care practitioners. The information contained in the NPDB is intended to direct discreet inquiry into, and scrutiny of, specific areas of a practitioner’s licensure, professional society memberships, medical malpractice payment history, and record of clinical privileges.
