In a recent meeting held by the Kansas Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board (BSRB), officials focused on enhancing accessibility and communication for licensed professionals. The atmosphere was one of collaboration and responsiveness, as members discussed ways to improve the user experience for licensees navigating the Continuing Education (CE) broker system.

One of the key highlights was the board's initiative to make information more customer-friendly. Feedback from advisory committees indicated that many professionals found it challenging to locate CE broker information after its integration. In response, the BSRB has taken significant steps to streamline access. They have added seven new links to CE broker information on the professions pages of their website, ensuring that licensees can easily find the resources they need under the renewal section.

Additionally, the meeting addressed the completion of a comprehensive survey initiative that has been a major focus for the board this year. The final group surveyed was the social work profession, which represents the largest segment of licensed professionals in Kansas. The board reported a commendable response rate, with 2,000 social workers participating, reflecting a 23 to 24% engagement level. This response rate aligns with averages seen across other professions, showcasing the board's commitment to gathering valuable insights from its licensees.

As the BSRB continues to refine its operations and enhance communication, these efforts signal a proactive approach to meeting the needs of Kansas's behavioral health professionals. The board's initiatives not only aim to improve access to essential information but also foster a stronger connection between the regulatory body and the professionals it serves.
