The Board has embarked on an effort to comprehensively update its regulations, something that has not been done in many years. Some of the areas of the Board may review include updating licensing provisions, addressing the issue of licensing and credentialing in times of national emergency and considering a category of administrative medicine. Another major goal of the agency is the full revitalization of the Patient Care Assessment Division. With a full complement of staff, sufficient resources and excellent compliance by hospitals, PCA can finally begin to comprehensively and intensively analyze its database for possible trends and concerns with procedures.
