Ohio recorded 6 nurse-category NPI deactivations during the week of Sept. 14–20, 2026, accounting for 12% of the national total. The records included 4 individuals and 2 organizations. NPI deactivation is an administrative change in the federal registry; by itself, it does not establish that a provider has stopped practicing or that a license action has occurred.
Credentials and Cities
The credential breakdown is dispersed: each of the five listed categories had one deactivation. They were Family Nurse Practitioner, Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Psychiatric/Mental Health Registered Nurse, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist and Licensed Practical Nurse. The data does not identify a leading credential among these categories. Five cities each had one record: Springfield, Toledo, Willoughby, Georgetown and Centerburg. The provider list also includes a record in Youngstown. No city or credential has a clear concentration in this small weekly set.
The listings include organization records as well as individual records, and the organization taxonomies are not all nursing-specific. The summary therefore describes NPI registry classifications and deactivation activity, not a complete count of nurses leaving Ohio’s workforce. CMS removes names, addresses and taxonomies from most deactivated records; Hipa.ai retains names from public CMS files captured before deactivation. These details provide context for interpreting the registry data but do not indicate why any record was deactivated.
The figures are a weekly snapshot of Ohio’s nurse-category NPI deactivations, not a measure of current staffing or patient access.
