Interstate Licensure: Has The Time Come?

Brendan G Carr et al. Health Aff (Millwood). 2022 Aug.

Abstract

In the midst of the unprecedented public health emergency of COVID-19, many states developed programs to recognize out-of-state practitioners' licenses for in-state practice. This rapid expansion had a profound impact on care during periods of surge and offers lessons for future disasters as well as usual operating periods. As technology improves and care delivery evolves, interstate licensure offers immense opportunities, but there are also risks that must be mitigated.
