Iowa Admin. Code r. 653-22.5 - Mandatory reporting-hospital disciplinary action
Each licensee, including inactive licensees, will file with the board a copy of the disciplinary action or voluntary action and a written report describing any disciplinary action taken by a hospital for reasons relating to the physician's professional competence or conduct that results in a limitation, restriction, suspension, revocation, relinquishment or nonrenewal of the licensee's hospital privileges or any voluntary limitation, restriction, suspension, revocation, relinquishment or nonrenewal of the licensee's hospital privileges to avoid an investigation or other hospital disciplinary action. A licensee is not required to report a limitation, restriction, suspension, revocation, relinquishment or nonrenewal of the licensee's privileges of fewer than ten days. A licensee is not required to report a voluntary, nondisciplinary limitation or relinquishment of hospital privileges made at the election of the licensee to narrow or change the nature of the licensee's medical practice for reasons not related to competency or conduct. The written report must be filed with the board within 30 days of the date of the action. Failure to file the written report and a copy of the action is a basis for disciplinary action. Reports shall be maintained by the board in accordance with Iowa Code section 272C.6(4).
