Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 11, August 30, 2024
The internal Department review will confirm the diagnosis and determine if invasive procedures are being performed.
(a) If the IHCW is determined NOT to perform invasive procedures, a letter will be sent to him or her stating the following information:
(b) If the IHCW IS determined to perform invasive procedures, the SHO shall cause an expert review panel to be formed. The SHO shall, as the situation requires, issue orders temporarily limiting the IHCW's practice as to performing invasive procedures since such could constitute a direct threat to the patients he (or she) is serving. The IHCW shall comply with such orders.
