Board tests new case‑management system and unanimously approves multiple case dispositions
Summary
Staff reported testing of an Evoque case‑management system and a planned rollout timeline; the committee also recessed to consult legal counsel and then voted unanimously to continue some cases, close others, and approve several spreadsheet-based case dispositions by consensus.
Board staff told the investigative committee Sept. 4 that they are testing a new Evoque case‑management platform that will include a board portal for timely summaries and online complaint submission, and that the system is undergoing security checks with pilot testing expected to finish by the end of September and a potential go‑live in about a year.
"We're in the testing phase," Linda Davies said, describing test cases for imposters, multistate licenses, direct diversion, companion cases and HIPAA/social‑media scenarios. Staff said the new system will reduce spreadsheet work and support board workflows once security and back‑end testing are complete.
The committee recessed into a 20‑minute executive session to consult with assistant attorneys general on privileged litigation and disciplinary matters pursuant to KSA 75‑43‑19(b)(2); the motion to recess passed unanimously. After reconvening and resolving remote‑access issues, the committee closed deliberations for quasi‑judicial matters as authorized by statute.
Following closed deliberations, the committee moved and voted to take multiple formal actions: it found reasonable grounds to continue certain specified cases for further proceedings; it closed other cases for which no action was needed; and, by consensus, it approved case dispositions on spreadsheets labeled ‘reinstatement applications’, ‘bridal conversions’, ‘endorsement applications’, ‘inactivated by staff’, ‘new grads’, ‘case is not open’ and ‘unlicensed practice.’ All motions were seconded and carried by voice vote.
The committee did not disclose case specifics in the public minutes beyond the spreadsheet titles and disposition decisions. Committee members scheduled follow up items for the December agenda and thanked staff for the system work and legislative funding that enabled the platform development.
