A proposed licensure system (not presently in use in any State) under which medical care institutions would be generally licensed by the State and would then be free to hire and use personnel as each saw fit, whether or not they met usual, individual licensure requirements. Using this system, formal education would become only one of many criteria used in assigning employees to particular positions. Institutional licensure is a suggested remedy to the alleged rigidities of the individual personnel licensing and certification programs presently in use in the health field. Other criteria could include job experience, and in-service training. Arguments in its favor are that it would allow increased job mobility within the health care field, and greater institutional efficiency. It would perhaps also foster teamwork, and require only one licensing body at the State level rather than the many health licensing agencies presently functioning in each State. Such a system would not end the need for separate licensure of independent practitioners, assumes that licensure can assure the quality of an institution’s services, deprives the patient of any assurance that the individual serving him has met individual licensure requirements, and indentures individuals providing care to the institutions through which they are licensed.<\/p>\n
