In 2007, the Texas legislature passed a law directing the state’s Board of Nursing to determine (by February 1, 2010) the feasibility of conducting a pilot program designed to evaluate the efficacy and effect on public protection of deferral of disciplinary action in cases in which the board proposes to impose a sanction other than a reprimand, suspension or revocation of a license. If the board determines such a pilot program is feasible, the legislation instructs it to develop and implement a three-year pilot program by February 1, 2011. Deferred disciplinary action is described as “a decision made by the board to defer taking final disciplinary action for minor violations against a nurse, and if the nurse meets certain conditions, dismissing the complaint.”

Health licensing board disciplinary orders and negotiated settlement agreements often include conditions with which the disciplined licensee is required to comply. Examples of such conditions include having a chaperone present when seeing female patients; successfully completing an ethics course; working under the direct supervision of a colleague, and so on. Some boards devote considerable resources to monitoring licensees to assure compliance with disciplinary orders. Other boards devote few, if any, resources to this essential activity.
The Oregon Board of Medical Examiners makes compliance monitoring a priority. At this CAC webinar, the executive director and the chief investigator of this licensing board will describe how the Oregon Board of Medical Examiners carries out compliance monitoring.
