MQA Licensing and Enforcement Information Database System (LEIDS).
To improve the time to issue a license to qualified applicants, the Bureau of Health Care Practitioner
Regulation is reviewing and analyzing all aspects of the application process. An MQA Transformation
Project Workflow Assessment was presented to each board office to provide recommendations
for improving the use of the workflow features within the Licensing and Enforcement Information
Database System (LEIDS). In addition, each Board office was tasked with identifying trends in the
deficiencies found in applications and providing a work plan to eliminate or ameliorate the delays
caused by these deficiencies. The Boards remain committed to finding and implementing innovative
methods to increase efficiency and get Floridians in public health to work faster.
