Kansas board weighs relaxing limits on doctor actions
State regulators and the Kansas Medical Society weigh changes to allow action against a doctor for a single incident of incompetence. Current rules require a pattern of poor care. The Senate panel planned a hearing, and critics cite the Stephen Schneider case and a 2006 audit noting weaknesses in the board’s system. The move aims to intervene before harm occurs during the 64th day of the 2008 session.
