Which of the following is NOT a reason for suspension or revocation of an EMS provider's license?

Failing to maintain patient confidentiality
Obtaining fees by fraud
Having a clean disciplinary record
Staffing vehicle with non-licensed personnel

The correct answer is: Having a clean disciplinary record

A clean disciplinary record is indicative of a professional who has adhered to ethical guidelines and maintained compliance with legal and regulatory standards. In the context of suspension or revocation of an EMS provider's license, a clean record would not be a reason for disciplinary action; rather, it serves as a positive factor that reflects the provider’s reliability and adherence to their professional responsibilities. In contrast, the other options represent serious violations of professional conduct or law. Failing to maintain patient confidentiality breaches legal and ethical obligations to protect patient privacy. Obtaining fees by fraud involves deceitful practices that undermine trust in the healthcare system, and allowing non-licensed personnel to staff a vehicle poses risks to patient safety and the integrity of emergency medical services. Each of these actions can jeopardize both patient care and public confidence in emergency medical services, which is why they are valid grounds for suspension or revocation of a provider's license.
