OAR 333-116-1000
Report and Notification of a Medical Event
(1)
A licensee must report any medical event as defined in OAR 333-116-0020 (Definitions)(19), except for an event that results from patient intervention..(2)
The licensee must notify by telephone the Authority no later than the next calendar day after discovery of the medical event.(3)
The licensee must submit a written report to the Authority within 15 days after discovery of the medical event.(a)
The written report must include:(A)
The licensee’s name;(B)
The name of the prescribing physician;(C)
A brief description of the event;(D)
Why the event occurred;(E)
The effect, if any, on the individual(s) who received the administration;(F)
What actions, if any, have been taken or are planned to prevent recurrence; and(G)
Certification that the licensee notified the individual (or the individual’s responsible relative or guardian), and if not, why not.(b)
The report may not contain the individual’s name or any other information that could lead to identification of the individual.(4)
The licensee must provide notification of the event to the referring physician and also notify the individual who is the subject of the medical event no later than 24 hours after its discovery, unless the referring physician personally informs the licensee either that he or she will inform the individual or that, based on medical judgment, telling the individual would be harmful. The licensee is not required to notify the individual without first consulting the referring physician. If the referring physician or the affected individual cannot be reached within 24 hours, the licensee must notify the individual as soon as possible thereafter. The licensee may not delay any appropriate medical care for the individual, including any necessary remedial care as a result of the medical event, because of any delay in notification. To meet the requirements of this rule, the notification of the individual who is the subject of the medical event may be made instead to that individual’s responsible relative or guardian. If a verbal notification is made, the licensee must inform the individual, or appropriate responsible relative or guardian that a written description of the event can be obtained from the licensee upon request. The licensee must provide such a written description if requested.(5)
Aside from the notification requirement, nothing in this section affects any rights or duties of licensees and physicians in relation to each other, to individuals affected by the medical event, or to that individual’s responsible relatives or guardians.
