PRN DISRUPTIVE PRACTITIONERPOLICY & PROCEDURE 3) Non-confidential, formal meeting with the admin level representative of the referral source, supervisor (if applicable) and the disruptive practitioner to discuss documented disruptive behaviors that need to be corrected, resulting in a warning that outlines consequences, if not corrected. ** An optional step can be inserted at this point if the referring source has an associated Impaired Practitioner Committee. This committee can be authorized to refer to PRN (step #4 b-e) or a recommendation will be made to the disciplinary body for suspension/termination (step 4a) of the disruptive practitioner.
