PERFORMANCE STATISTICS Required under section 456.005, Florida Statutes, quarterly performance reports (QPRs) provide the Division of Medical Quality Assurance (MQA), decision-makers, consumers, and other stakeholders with quarterly snapshots of key performance statistics, such as licensure, enforcement, and financial information. This is a quarterly report of the performance of MQA as measured by the following key statistics: initial licensure, license renewals, military data, customer contact, enforcement, and financial data. INITIAL APPLICATIONS In Quarter Two, MQA received 32,388 initial applications from prospective practitioners seeking licensure. Of these, 25,252 initial applications were issued for a total of 1,563,592 licensed practitioners in Florida. MQA processed initial applications for qualified applicants within 3.5 days on average. An increase in initial application processing time may be seen due to the availability of new pathways offered through the implementation of new legislation passed during the 2024 legislative session. The profession with the most applications processed was Nursing at 53.9% (19,793) of the total applications processed. Measure: The average time taken to issue an initial license to a qualified applicant. Definition: The average duration from when an application is deemed qualified to the issuance of the license. Goal: One day. Figure 1: Initial Applications Received vs. Average Days to Issue an Initial License Q2 • Quarterly Performance Report • FY 2024-25 6
