653—22.5 (272C) Mandatory reporting—hospital disciplinary action. Each licensee, including a licensee holding an inactive license, shall file with the board a written report describing any disciplinary action taken by a hospital for reasons relating to the physician’s professional competence or conduct which 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 10 days. A licensee is not required to report a voluntary, nondisciplinary limitation or relinquishment of hospital privileges upon 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 and a copy of the hospital disciplinary action or the licensee’s voluntary action 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 in accordance with the requirements of this rule may constitute a basis for action against the licensee. Reports shall be maintained by the board in accordance with Iowa Code section 272C.6, subsection 4.
