EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Bryant D. Paris, Jr. , Executive Director, presented the following information as his
November Executive Director's Report:
License b Endorsement flexibilit
As a follow-up to the Board's request for amending its rules to provide greaterflexibility to the Board in licensing physicians on the basis of endorsement ofcredentials, various necessary staff persons have assisted in the development of a
proposed regulation that could satisfy the Board's wishes yet maintain the integrity ofpatient safety in this state.
License b Endorsement credentialinOn September 20, 1995, a day long work session was held with directors to analyze
NOV 1995
the process of credentialing physicians applying for a license by endorsement. As a
result, a reasoned recommendation for re-engineering the credentialing process wasdeveloped. It is the group's belief that the proposed credentialing process canfacilitate the ease of application, the timeliness of licensure, and a reduction ofunnecessary paper handling by the licensing staff.
A meeting was held Monday, October 30, 1995, to present the director'srecommendations to the Board's Licensing Committee.
Mana ement EvaluationAs the Board staff continues its management evaluation, the next work session is
scheduled for November 29, 1995, at which time the area of Public Affairs will beevaluated. From the current retreat and our two earlier retreats, the staff has comeaway with a sense of accomplishment and a spirit of teamwork while arriving at waysand means of improving staff functions.
TelemedicineConsiderable time and energy has been devoted to assist the Telemedicine Ad HocCommittee in developing some system to allow the appropriate expansion of theconcept of telemedicine, yet maintain the integrity of patient safety in the state. Theissue of telemedicine was discussed with physicians in and out of the state, some whoare currently involved in telemedicine.
Mr. Paris has not pursued the issue of confidentiality because, it is his understandingthat the transmission of telecommunications can be sufficiently scrambled.

by an ABMS or AOA specialty board.
