A worksite monitor is the licensee’s direct supervisor at the worksite. At a minimum, the worksite monitor must meet with the licensee once a week for at least 15 minutes.

Licensees must submit and maintain valid releases of information for their worksite monitors. The worksite monitor must agree to provide quarterly electronic reports to the HPRP on the licensee’s job performance and report any concerns about the licensee’s behavior, appearance, or impairment at work. If the HPRP determines that the licensee cannot safely practice, the worksite monitor must remove the licensee from the schedule and confirm that removal until the HPRP approves the licensee’s return to work.

The worksite monitor’s employment and role at the facility must be verified by the HPRP. The worksite monitor cannot be a current HPRP participant, a family member or close friend of the licensee, or a staff member who reports to the licensee.

If a licensee is a sole proprietor in private practice and does not have a direct supervisor, they will be encouraged to identify a licensed healthcare professional in the area to serve as the worksite monitor. The worksite monitor must visit the licensee’s workplace at least once a week to observe the licensee at work, report any concerns about behavior, appearance, or possible impairment, and confirm the licensee’s removal from the schedule if the HPRP determines they cannot safely practice.
