Overview

Disciplinary Sanctions

The Authority can impose a range of disciplinary sanctions pursuant to ORS 682 and OAR 333-265:

  • Reprimand-A formal notice to the EMS provider that OHA-EMS standards have been violated. The EMS provider license is not "encumbered."
  • Civil Penalty-A fine of up to $5,000 per violation.
  • Probation-An imposition of restrictions or conditions under which an EMS provider must practice.
  • Suspension-A period of time during which an EMS provider may not practice.
  • Revocation-A removal of a license for an unspecified period of time, perhaps permanently.
  • Voluntary Surrender-An action on the part of the EMS provider to give up her/his license instead of facing potential suspension or revocation.
  • Denial of Licensure-An action by the Authority not to issue a license.

All disciplinary sanctions are reported to the National Practitioners Data Bank (NPDB).
