Federal government initiates National Practitioner Data Bank.

The formulation of the data bank will require the exchange of data and merging of information from a number of sources. The development and the implementation of this computerized system will be the work of the UNISYS Corporation in concert with the Bureau of Health Professions' Office of Quality Assurance, a part of the Health Resources and Services Administration, HHS. The assurance of the quality of the data on each nurse--correct, up-to-date, etc.--is the responsibility of the parties reporting to the data bank. In addition, each and every pediatric nurse practitioner will need to become knowledgeable regarding the data base and periodically ascertain that the information regarding himself or herself is correct. As additional information is received on the process by which you can monitor the bank's data on you, it will be published.

Legislative update: year-end legislative report.

For many pediatric and family nurse practitioners, the Medicaid victory may be the high point of the first session of the 101st Congress. State activities to implement the new Medicaid statute will require many of the resources of NAPNAP members during the upcoming years, however, and implementation of the Medicaid provisions will require a well-designed strategy and careful follow-up.

The role of the Physician Payment Review Commission in Medicare payment reform.

As an observer of the Physician Payment Review Commission, one is struck by the generous physician presence. As originally conceived, this make-up was perhaps appropriate. However, the policies inherent in the development of Medicare payment reform are changing the way many think regarding the value of health services and the manner of payment for such services. Nursing will be affected by these reforms. Cooperation, collaboration, consensus, and a strong united presence during the next year's deliberations by the Commission will serve the nursing profession well.
