•• GBNBRAL STATBDIft' OF BOARD ACTIVITIBS

The Minnesota Board of Chiropractic Examiners (MBCE) continues to be located at 2700 University Avenue West ­suite 20, ,st. Paul, MN 55114.

Current staff consists of the Executive Director, an Administrative Secretary, a Clerk Typist II, a Health Program Representative and a Clerk Typist III positionremains open at this time. The work duties are being redistributed among the staff in an attempt to meet York obligations and do away with the Clerk Typist II position. This potential trimming of staff is one way to meet the ever increasing demands on all Minnesota state employees to maximize output from diminishing resources~

The MBCE has completely converted to an in house computerized data base. In the'interests of enhancing efficiency, a computerized complaint tracking system is being considered.

The MBCE is currently involved in rulemaking which was mandated by 1992 legislation, creating infection control educational and practice standard requirements. This rUlemaking is both joint and individual.

The MBCE continues to protect the interests of Minnesota health care consumers through testing of license applicants, responding to complaints against chiropractors, approvingcontinuing education courses for chiropractors, establishing standards of education and p~actice for chiropractors through administrative proceedings, acting as a resource for the legislature and other state agencies and offering peer reviews of chiropractic cases.
