160.991 Self-Incriminating Questions:
MSSNY has urged the American Medical Association to proceed further and revise the second recommendation of its Board of Trustee’s Report 13 (I-93) to urge that questions as in current illnesses that might interfere with the competency to practice be applied to all such illnesses, physical as well as psychiatric and addictive, and not to the past history of such illnesses if those illnesses do not extend into current impairment, and to amend its Board of Trustee’s Report 13 (I-93) so that it applies to all licensing, board certifying, and credentialing procedures. MSSNY has urged the AMA to add to its Board of Trustee’s Report 13 (I-93) a strong emphasis on the need for very strict confidentiality legislation and regulations on state, federal and private levels in regard to any such information obtained, and to implement recommendations 4 and 5 of said report relating to the impact of the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) concerning these matters.
