Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
This bill tells the U.S. health department to set rules that protect doctors’ rights at hospitals. Before a hospital can cut a doctor’s duties or take away their staff privileges, the doctor must get a fair hearing and a chance to appeal through the hospital’s medical staff process . Hospitals or contracting companies can’t block these rights with fine print, and doctors can’t be forced to sign away these rights to get or keep a job . Hearings and appeals must be confidential and not reported to the National Practitioner Data Bank or future employers, unless there’s an ongoing threat to patient safety or reporting is otherwise required by that system’s rules .
The department must put these rules into effect no later than 18 months after the law is passed .
