Data Source and Calculation
The measure uses the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation's licensing database. For all records of licenses issued during the time period (quarter and fiscal year), calculate the number of days between the date the completed application (with appropriate payment and exam score) is received and the date the license is issued; then divide the number of licenses issued within 15 days by the total number of licenses issued during the same time period to calculate the percentage. Records containing system alerts are excluded from the calculation since the alerts indicate that an application is not ready for processing due to incomplete documentation, incorrect payment, inadequate exam score, etc. Invalid records, which may have inaccurate dates or other data, are also excluded from the calculation. Annual and biennial measures are calculated by averaging the quarterly results for the year and biennium respectively.
