From Modern Healthcare:
For the second-straight year, Minnesota was the least-effective state in disciplining doctors; while, for the fourth-straight year, Alaska was the most effective, according to the annual ranking of serious disciplinary actions taken by state medical boards compiled by the Public Citizen Health Research Group.
Public Citizen uses the annual summary of state medical actions compiled by the Federation of State Medical Boards for its rankings which are calculated by taking a three-year average of a state’s medical license revocations, surrenders, suspensions and probations, then dividing that total by a state’s physician population to come up with a “serious actions per 1,000 physicians” rating.
