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been revoked, suspended, limited or otherwise adversely affected by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 provider's or health care entity 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 $1,000 $5,000 may be adjudged.
