This chapter requires any health professional, and any employer of a health professional, in the District of Columbia to timely report certain actions taken by or against the health professional to the board, commission or authority ("authority") responsible for licensing, registering, or certifying the health professional.
These reporting requirements will ensure that the appropriate authority is notified when a health professional has certain actions taken against him or her as a result of his or her actions. The appropriate authority is authorized to take necessary action to ensure the health professional does not engage in unsafe practices which may endanger members of the public.
Failure to comply with the reporting requirements in this chapter may lead to disciplinary actions as outlined below.
