for reasons related to the individual’ s clinical competence, conduct or health.
( 2) Upon notice that any of the actions set forth above have occurred at, or been implemented by, any affiliated entity, that action will be administratively implemented at the Hospital. Alternatively, a determination may be made that the member no longer satisfies threshold eligibility criteria.
( 3) The administrative implementation of an action at the Hospital may be waived by the Board after consideration of a recommendation from the MEC. The administrative implementation of the action will continue unless an exception is granted and the member has been notified in writing. The granting of an exception is within the discretion of the Board and is final. An exception may be granted only as follows:
( a) based on a finding that the granting of an exception will not affect patient safety, quality of care, or hospital operations; and
( b) after review of the specific circumstances and any relevant documents( including peer review documents) from the affiliated entity where the action first occurred. The burden is on the member to provide evidence showing that an exception is appropriate.
( 4) Neither the administrative implementation of any action set forth above at the Hospital, nor the denial of an exception, will entitle any individual to any procedural rights, formal investigation, hearing, or appeal.
