In 2005, the State of New Jersey enacted the Health Care Professional Responsibility and Reporting Enhancement Act stemming from the patient harm events surrounding a nurse (Charles Cullen) who worked in several states. The law has specific requirements for healthcare organizations to follow when performance issues arise and when hiring applicants who have worked in other New Jersey healthcare organizations.
Francine Widrich, Health Care Professional Clearinghouse Coordinator, NJ Division of Consumer Affairs and Stefanie Mozgai, Assistant Commissioner of Certificate of Need and Licensing, NJ Department of Health will review the requirements, including the history and emphasizing the importance of proper reporting of health care professional’s impairment, incompetence or professional misconduct as it relates to patient safety. They will also be reviewing the CN-9 form requirements related to hiring applicants.
