N.J. State Commission of Investigation
Impaired/Incompetent Physicians
1986-87
A
report on the Commission's investigation on Impaired and Incompetent
physicians was issued in October 1987. The report was critical of the
New Jersey Medical Society's Impaired Physicians Program and the
inability of the IPP and the State Board of Medical Examiners to
adequately rehabilitate and monitor impaired doctors to prevent harm to
patients. After Commission staff participated in Senate committee
hearings, the Legislature and Governor enacted the Professional Medical
Conduct Reform Act on January 12, 1990 (effective July 13, 1990). The
law substantially improves the reporting, rehabilitation and supervision
of impaired and incompetent doctors.
