SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Health care institutions; assisted living facilities; reporting requirements. Requires the chief executive, chief of staff, or administrator of a hospital, other health care institution, or assisted living facility who becomes aware of information indicating that a health care professional is in need of treatment or has been committed or admitted as a patient for the treatment of substance abuse or psychiatric illness to determine that the health care professional is a danger to himself, his patients, or others before reporting such information to the Department of Health Professionals. Current law requires reporting such information to the Department if the substance abuse or psychiatric illness may render the health professional a danger.
