adversely affected by action of the health care practitioner while |
| the health care practitioner was the subject of disciplinary |
| proceedings, and it also must include situations where employment |
| or privileges have been revoked, suspended, limited or otherwise |
| adversely affected by act of the health care practitioner in return |
| for the health care provider's or health care entity's terminating |
| such proceeding. Any reversal, modification or change of action |
| reported pursuant to this section must be reported immediately to |
| the practitioner's board or authority, together with a brief |
| statement of the reasons for that reversal, modification or change. |
| If the adverse action requiring a report as a result of a reversal, |
| modification or change of action consists of the revocation, |
| suspension or limitation of clinical privileges of a physician, |
| physician assistant or advanced practice registered nurse by a |
| health care provider or health care entity for reasons relating to |
| clinical competence or unprofessional conduct and is taken pursuant |
| to medical staff bylaws or other credentialing and privileging |
| policies, whether or not the practitioner is employed by that |
| health care provider or entity, then the provider or entity shall |
| include in its initial report to the disciplined practitioner's |
| licensing board or authority the names of all patients whose care |
| by the disciplined practitioner gave rise to the adverse action. |
| The failure of any health care provider or health care entity to |
| report as required is a civil violation for which a fine of not |
| more than $5,000 may be adjudged. |
