Seven Things To Know When You Receive A Notice Of Investigation From The Department Of Health
This flowchart, flow diagram, disciplinary guideline or algorithm was originally published by the Medical Quality Assurance (MQA) Division of the Florida Department of Health (DOH) in the early 2000’s to better explain and show the processing of disciplinary complaints made against licensed health professionals in the State of Florida. It does a great job of showing the process followed, except that it does not contain any information on how long each step of the process can take, and some steps can take months or even years. The chart is a summary of the process that is required by state statutes, including the Florida Administrative Procedure Act (APA), Chapter 120, Florida Statutes. It is a useful guide to use in locating where your case is in the process.
