The agency is looking to have the successful vendor operate a program for monitoring and assisting impaired licensees of healthcare professions, known as the Professionals’ Health Program. The goals of the Professionals’ Health Program are: • Protect the public while providing assistance and monitoring to licensees so as to facilitate a return to productive service of highly trained professionals eligible to work in New Hampshire; • Encourage licensee self-reporting, early intervention, and entry into treatment and monitoring; and • Provide assessment, referral for treatment, and monitoring of licensees having impairing or potentially impairing conditions that could interfere with the licensee’s ability to practice with reasonable skill and safety, such as substance or alcohol use disorders, mental health conditions, behavioral health issues including disruptive behavior, or physical illness.
