On April 1, 2004, the Medical Board launched a new website for looking up information about its licensees.  From the same links on the Board's web site users will be directed to a site that provides all of the information from the previous licensee look-up application, but in a more concise format.  Any formal action information, if it exists, will be displayed on the profile page without having to access another link.  As always, copies of the documents associated with Board formal actions are available by clicking the link at the bottom of that profile page. 

You may access the new page by clicking here, or by clicking the "Licensee Profile and Status" link on the Board's main site or any of the Board's subwebs. When you reach the new site, you must first choose "Medical Board" from the "Division" drop-down box.

Some of the benefits of the new page are that more statuses are displayed, and you may search on any of a number of fields to help you better locate the information you need.  Information will also be available on the status of applicants and the holders of training certificates.  In addition, while the data on the Board's site previously had been updated once each week, all data will now update in real time. Additional enhancements to the new site, which should be active within the week, include the ability to search/look up a licensee by license number.

Missing from the new site at this time is the batch verification application that many hospitals and third-party payers found so helpful.  Because the Board’s old database is not being updated as of April 1, 2004, the information available through batch verification is no longer current.  For the time being, the only option for verification of licensure is to enter each licensee individually.

The Board is aware that batch verification is a convenience verging on necessity, especially for facilities with large numbers of Board licensees to be verified.  Because of that awareness, the Board plans to have a batch verification system of some type available again within 6 to 8 weeks, once additional programming is complete.  The Board is also looking into enhancements to the new system that have the potential to simplify, and perhaps even automate to some degree, the process of verifying licensure status.

The Board will continue to post information to this site as it becomes available.  The Board has been, and will continue to be, in contact with the Ohio Hospital Association and the Ohio Association of Medical Staff Services to ensure that the people and organizations who rely on the Board’s website for license verification have the most updated information available.
