New Online Service for Monitoring Nebraska Health Professional Licenses at http://www.Nebraska.gov

There is now an easy way to stay on top of any changes in the status of Nebraska health professional licenses. Nebraska.gov has worked with the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to create the Nebraska Health License Monitoring System.

Employers and others with a need to be assured that a professional caregiver maintains a license in good-standing, can sign up for Health License Monitoring.

Benefits of the new system include:

• Instant email notification when any license they are tracking is due to expire, has already expired, and/or if disciplinary action has been filed;
• Easy start-up process that requires the user only to enter, or upload information on the licenses they want in their tracking profiles;
• The choice to set up a single, or multiple profiles, and define the different types of licenses to be organized in each profile;
• Option to determine how the user wants to be notified; and
• Flexibility to adjust to the needs of both large and small health facilities/organizations, and to save time and money whether you are tracking 100 licenses or 10,000.

An online demonstration of the Health License Monitoring service is available at: http://www.nebraska.gov/demo/hlm/.

To use the health license monitoring service, users must be a subscriber with Nebraska.gov, the Nebraska state portal. Nebraska.gov already offers subscribers services such as driver license record searches and court case searches, among others. More information can be found at: http://www.nebraska.gov/subscriber/basicservices.html.

Nebraska health professional license information was originally available for single online searches through an earlier collaboration between Nebraska.gov and DHHS (http://www.nebraska.gov/LISSearch/search.cgi). This online search is currently used daily by thousands of private citizens and professional credentialing coordinators, who perform an average of over 500,000 searches per month. The new monitoring system is designed specifically for professional credentialing coordinators, those individuals who need information on the status of large numbers of health licenses.
