The Rhode Island Board of Medical Licensure and Discipline (BMLD) is the regulatory body for physicians in Rhode Island, granting licenses and imposing disciplinary actions. The BMLD created a framework in the context of Just Culture to evaluate allegations of misconduct regarding physicians. This framework incorporates core concepts from Just Culture, in order to help determine if a physician is blameless or blameworthy regarding the underlying allegations and to help determine accountability to the individual physician or attribute to systems issues.
