The Board Action Databank of information is a COMPLETE record of board actions. If a board has taken action against a doctor, there is a record of it in this database. Maintaining this data and making it accessible to member boards centralizes licensure information, making sure that predatory licensees don’t simply cross borders to prey on new patients. It also speeds up mobility for the rest of the chiropractors with quick licensure verification. Additionally, boards may choose to have CIN-BAD report to the Federal Databank (formerly HIPDB) on their behalf.
