Facilities must report any instance of care ordered by or provided by someone impersonating a physician, nurse, pharmacist, or other licensed healthcare provider, including those without licensure to provide the care given, and those with licensure who represent themselves and act beyond the scope of their licensure.
State of Nevada Healthcare License types now required by SB457 from the 2019 legislative session, and implemented as of 1/1/20, to report to the Sentinel Events Registry include the following:
Anyone employed by a medical facility must notify the patient safety officer within 24 hours; the patient safety officer must report the event within 13 days, and must submit a second report with contributing factors, corrective actions, and plan to remedy within 45 days.
