Report of Committee on Legislation/Professional 8

Liability 9

[Bruce A. Brod, M.D., on behalf of Keith E. Loiselle, 10

discussed the Pennsylvania telemedicine bill requiring 11

coverage and also defining certain standards for 12

telemedicine, such as detailing a physician-patient 13

relationship, appropriate consent, and liability. 14

Chairman Brod indicated the bill still has many 15

obstacles before passage. He noted the concerns of 16

the insurance companies and insurers that are 17

reluctant to agree to telemedicine coverage due to the 18

possible risks.] 19

*** 20

Report of Committee on Continuous Professional 21

Development 22

[Bruce A. Brod, M.D., requested the Board to consider 23

the Interprofessional Continuing Education (IPCE) to 24

provide approved CMEs for physicians, nurses, and 25


6

pharmacists as it offers additional connectivity and 1

teambuilding. He stated currently the American 2

Medical Association (AMA) approves CMEs. 3

Chairman Brod indicated IPCE as another 4

legitimate avenue to obtain CMEs and something to keep 5

in mind as the Board finds a pathway to approved 6

courses for licensees, not just AMA-approved courses. 7

Chairman Brod stated the Federation of State 8

Medical Boards (FSMB) appointed him to be on the 9

accreditation review council for the ACCME. He 10

referred Board members to the attachment on the agenda 11

related to the validity of CME courses for further 12

review. He explained the careful evaluation of the 13

programs. 14

Chairman Brod offered to be a resource to the 15

Board on IPCE with regard to licensees moving 16

forward.] 17

Report of Committee on Finance and Personnel – No 19

Report 20

*** 21

Report of Committee on Policy Development 22

and Review 23

[Bruce A. Brod, M.D. discussed the issue of reentry 24

applications by applicants who have not practiced 25


7

clinical medicine for a number of years. He noted 1

that many of those applications come from 2

pharmaceutical executives and insurance medical 3

directors who need active licenses. 4

Chairman Brod indicated that currently there is 5

no mechanism for an administrative license category in 6

Pennsylvania. The current policy is to refer those 7

applicants to reentry programs if they had not been in 8

practice for four-plus years. 9

He requested the Board to assign evaluation of 10

our reentry policy to the Committee on Policy 11

Development and Review, which would review the policy 12

from all angles. Dr. Castle read a report from FSMB 13

on this subject, which included numerous useful 14

recommendations and education for licensees. 15

He also suggested the Board re-examine some of 16

its current policies regarding sensible approaches to 17

practice. There should be a mechanism by which 18

individuals with an MD degree can regain an active 19

license. Dr. Castle asked the committee to review the 20

report and that the Board re-examine its current 21

policy for reentry. 22

Chairman Brod encouraged noncommittee members as 23

well as the entire Board to participate but noted that 24

committee members would have more specific tasks as 25


8

members. 1

Chairman Brod thanked Dr. Castle "for always 2

thinking about the well-being of the citizens of the 3

Commonwealth" and how it can improve on its 4

processes.] 5

Report of Board Chairman 9

[Bruce A. Brod, M.D., Chairman, commented on his 10

pleasure and privilege to be on the Board, as well as 11

his appreciation to the Commissioner’s Office and the 12

Governor’s Office for being very proactive and 13

nominating three new Board members, who will hopefully 14

be confirmed shortly. 15

Mr. Kovach noted the nominations include Joseph 16

E. Losee, M.D., Pittsburgh; Barbara E. Ostrov, M.D., 17

Hershey; and Paul J. Valigorsky II, M.D., DuBois.] 18

presented before the Board to discuss elder financial 1

exploitation. 2

Ms. Kotsalos noted the Elder Investment Fraud and 3

Financial Exploitation (EIFFE) Program as created by 4

Baylor College of Medicine. 5

A video which summarized the program 6

malfunctioned and could not be shown to the Board 7

members. 8

Ms. Kotsalos and Ms. Getgen discussed the role of 9

the Department of Banking and Securities as it 10

pertains to elder investment fraud. Statistics for 11

allegations of elder abuse were summarized as well as 12

the types of abuse cases, including self-neglect, 13

caregiver neglect, emotional abuse, and financial 14

exploitation. 15

It was noted that "red flags" for abuse include 16

impaired decision-making, isolation, missed 17

appointments, medication issues, and changes in 18

behavior and physical appearance. 19

Voluntary and mandated reporting was discussed. 20

The existence of a 1-800 line was available 24 hours a 21

day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year to report abuse, 22

and an investigation will commence within 72 hours of 23

the report. Brochures and fliers regarding the matter 24

could be placed in offices for distribution to 25


10

patients. Training sessions are available for 1

continuing education credits, as well as conference 2

presentations conferences. 3

The Board offered to provide assistance by 4

encouraging discussions on elder abuse with patients, 5

friends and families as well as hospitals.] 6

[Chairman Brod referred Board members to resolutions 10

submitted for discussion at the FSMB Meeting. He 11

noted a resolution related to artificial intelligence 12

that Dr. Heine helped to draft for submission on 13

behalf of the Board. Chairman Brod noted the 14

resolution calls for the FSMB to further study the 15

impact of artificial intelligence. 16

Chairman Brod stated the Board's request for 17

amendments to the proposed bylaw changes on creating a 18

position at the FSMB for executive staff was politely 19

rejected by the FSMB. 20

It was noted that Dr. Castle and Mr. Loiselle 21

would be attending the FSMB Meeting. Chairman Brod 22

referred members to the six resolutions that would be 23

presented, including guidelines for opioids, physician 24

time constraints, supervision of physician assistants 25


15

and physicians on state boards, reciprocity with 1

regard to telemedicine, examining the new 2

accreditation modality and IPCE and artificial 3

intelligence. 4

Chairman Brod reviewed his concern with regard to 5

Resolution 18-3, Wellness and Burnout. He discussed a 6

lack of consistency with Pennsylvania's current 7

Medical Practice Act and the resolution. 8

Mr. Mitchell commented on advocating for a Board 9

member position as a physician assistant. He 10

recommended the Board support that position. 11

Chairman Brod discussed one of the resolves 12

noting FSMB support to state medical boards to amend 13

laws to permit voluntary full and independent practice 14

of physician assistants. Chairman Brod requested 15

feedback from the Board on whether to stay silent or 16

support that determination. 17

Susan DeSantis, PA-C, Pennsylvania Society of 18

Physician Assistants, commented on discussion of the 19

American Academy of Physician Assistants House of 20

Delegates on a portion of Optimal Team Practice (OTP) 21

in May 2017, which included physician assistant 22

presence on Medical Boards, reimbursement for 23

physician assistants directly, determining the 24

practice of a physician assistant at the practice 25


16

level, and collaboration versus supervision in terms 1

of that relationship. Ms. DeSantis indicated the 2

physician assistants recognize the team practice model 3

as their number one model. 4

Dr. Castle questioned the language in Resolution 5

18-4, Guidelines for the Structure and Function of 6

State Medical and Osteopathic Board, as it pertained 7

to out-of-state practitioners providing continuity of 8

care in limited situations. 9

Mr. Kovach explained the reference in the 10

Interstate Medical Licensure Compact is that the 11

practice of medicine occurs where the patient is 12

located. He stated the Attorney General has to 13

authorize the Governor to enter into the agreement, 14

and thus far, no word has been received from the 15

Attorney General’s Office that it has authorized the 16

Governor to sign a compact with another state. There 17

was further discussion regarding the resolve. 18

Dr. Castle discussed Integration of Midwifery 19

Linked to Improved Birth Outcomes. There was further 20

discussion regarding this article and another article 21

in FSMB's journal concerning ob/gyn practice in New 22

Mexico.] 23
