Professional Misconduct Reporting and Practitioner Oversight

In short

• Keep your license current. Tell the Administrator at once if your license lapses, is restricted or is under investigation.
• No one may work with patients on a lapsed or suspended license. The Agency removes them from patient care and reports unlicensed practice to the Department of Health.
• If you are worried that a colleague's practice is unsafe or impaired, tell your supervisor or the Administrator. Suspected abuse is reported right away under the abuse policy.
• The Agency must report certain physician misconduct, resignations to avoid discipline and felony convictions to the physician's licensing board within 60 days.
• Know the reporting rules of your own licensing board.
