Mandatory Reporting of Impaired Health Care Practitioners

Effective October 1, 2015, hospitals and certain healthcare providers are required by law to report information when another healthcare provider is, or may be, unable to practice his or her profession with reasonable skill or safety. More information on the mandatory reporting of impaired practitioners can be found here.   For practitioners or hospitals wishing to fulfill this mandate by filing a petition with the Connecticut Department of Public Health, a printable form with instructions is available here.
