1 1 Section 1. Section 135B.7, unnumbered paragraph 2, Code
1 2 2001, is amended to read as follows:
1 3 The rules shall state that a hospital shall not deny
1 4 clinical privileges to physicians and surgeons, podiatric
1 5 physicians, osteopaths, osteopathic surgeons, chiropractors,
1 6 dentists, certified health service providers in psychology,
1 7 physician assistants, or advanced registered nurse
1 8 practitioners licensed under chapter 148, 148C, 149, 150,
1 9 150A, 151, 152, or 153, or section 154B.7, solely by reason of
1 10 the license held by the practitioner or solely by reason of
1 11 the school or institution in which the practitioner received
1 12 medical schooling or postgraduate training if the medical
1 13 schooling or postgraduate training was accredited by an
1 14 organization recognized by the council on postsecondary
1 15 accreditation or an accrediting group recognized by the United
1 16 States department of education. A hospital may establish
1 17 procedures for interaction between a patient and a
1 18 practitioner. The rules shall not prohibit a hospital from
1 19 limiting, restricting, or revoking clinical privileges of a
1 20 practitioner for violation of hospital rules, regulations, or
1 21 procedures established under this paragraph, when applied in
1 22 good faith and in a nondiscriminatory manner. This paragraph
1 23 shall not require a hospital to expand the hospital's current
1 24 scope of service delivery solely to offer the services of a
1 25 class of providers not currently providing services at the
1 26 hospital. This section shall not be construed to require a
1 27 hospital to establish rules which are inconsistent with the
1 28 scope of practice established for licensure of practitioners
1 29 to whom this paragraph applies. This section shall not be
1 30 construed to authorize the denial of clinical privileges to a
1 31 practitioner or class of practitioners solely because a
1 32 hospital has as employees of the hospital identically licensed
1 33 practitioners providing the same or similar services.
1 34 EXPLANATION
1 35 This bill provides for the addition of chiropractors to the
2 1 list of licensed practitioners to whom a hospital cannot deny
2 2 clinical privileges under specified circumstances. Code
2 3 section 135B.7 provides that clinical privileges for
2 4 designated licensed practitioners shall not be denied solely
2 5 by reason of the license held by the practitioner or the
2 6 school or institution in which the practitioner received
2 7 medical schooling or postgraduate training, if the medical
2 8 schooling or postgraduate training was accredited by an
2 9 organization recognized by the council on postsecondary
2 10 accreditation or an accrediting group recognized by the United
2 11 States department of education.
