FSBPT has a goal to identify potential barriers to reporting violations to regulatory boards. 

 

FSBPT created the HRRI and is interested in understanding the extent to which consumers are aware of healthcare-affiliated state regulatory boards, what services they provide, and the roles they play.

​

 

OBJECTIVES:

​

​

• Gauge familiarity with and understanding of the roles of healthcare-affiliated and state licensing boards. 

​

• Determine the percentages of patients and caregivers who have experienced a reportable “issue” with one of eight healthcare and counseling staff persons within the last two years. 

​

• Among those who experienced an issue, determine the proportion who reported it, to whom, and how. 

​

• Assess interest in the concept of a new website that would be created to make reporting easier and provide more confidence to consumers that the issue was being taken care of and handled appropriately.
