210.996 Opposition to Inclusion in the National Practitioners Data Bank:
MSSNY supports the mandatory and prompt notification of residents by the appropriate hospital authority when they are named along with a hospital and/or others in the hospital in malpractice suits.
MSSNY opposes the inclusion in the National Practitioner Data Book of information on liability payments made on behalf of residents named in malpractice suits for incidents which occur during the required activities of their residency training.
MSSNY should seek the immediate suspension of the policy whereby information on residents named in malpractice suits for incidents which occur during the required activities of their residency training is documented in the National Practitioner Data Bank when liability payments are made on their behalf. (Council 2/4/99; Reaffirmed HOD 2014)
