A website that publishes data on the medical malpractice allegations and disciplinary backgrounds of thousands of
U.S.
doctors is open to the public again.
The site, which posts information about doctors' disciplinary histories pulled from the National Practitioner Data Bank, will place restrictions on journalists and patients' rights advocates.
Users who download information from the database will be required to agree that they will not to share the information with others. They must also agree that they will not use the information to determine the names of doctors, who are identified on the site with randomly assigned numbers.
Patient safety advocates argue that the public has a right to unrestricted information on the site.
