> I heard stories about sanctioned doctors or nurses just moving to another state to continue practicing, though I don't personally know if those stories are true, it's easy to imagine the value of checking all these lists in a central location.
This was one of the reasons "Dr. Death" was able to keep practicing as long as he did. He resigned from positions and switched facilities/states before the investigations could be completed.

- samstave 6y agoI think that public positions and critical positions, such as police/LEO, Doctors, Nurses, Teachers and other positions (maybe nuke plant operators) etc - should all have a UUID for each person - and one (with appropriate reasoning) should be able to track the UUID of any employee across the nation - such that you cant just shuffle offenders/let them shuffle themselves about assuming their is misconduct - and maybe even provide a further incentivization program for those who have stellar records - like "doctor of the month for the state" or Police officer of the year for the nation" etc...
- Buttons840 6y agoWould be nice, but as a start, if we could just create a law that states can't hind their sanction lists behind paywalls, that would go a long way. You're less safe in state X because state Y charges a lot of money to get access to their sanction lists.
