Health Professions 2002 and earlier:
This information is drawn from the Licensed Health Manpower Data System, a system jointly maintained by the licensure boards and the Office of Research and Statistics. The first five disciplines listed have been a part of the system since 1977. Respiratory Care was added in 1991, and the remainder were added in 1994. Therefore, the amount of trend information available will vary by discipline.
Disclosure: All Health data are reviewed by the Office of Research and Statistics (ORS) for
accuracy and completeness as mandated by law. However, there are certain
discrepancies that can go undetected, such as the actual number of discharges.
Hospitals are given the opportunity to verify these data prior to being made
public by the ORS. If a discrepancy is discovered after the release of these
reports, the ORS will make every effort to correct the information presented.
