Were warning signs missed in traveling technologist case?
A patchwork of regulation

The Kwiatkowski case highlights the patchwork of regulation governing allied health professionals, as well as the challenges faced by existing credentialing organizations in investigating personnel incidents that hospitals might prefer to keep under wraps. There are multiple channels for obtaining and maintaining a technologist's license, and there is no national database or clearinghouse for all allied healthcare workers that can quickly disseminate news of a disciplinary action to all the states, associations, and employers that might need to know about it.

Were warning signs missed in traveling technologist case?
Fired in Arizona and Pennsylvania

Although officials at Exeter Hospital called Kwiatkowski an "extremely good cardiac technologist" up until the time he was arrested, Kwiatkowski had a checkered résumé. In 2008, he was fired from a job in the interventional radiology department at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC), where he was placed through an assignment with Maxim Staffing Solutions.

So how was Kwiatkowski able to go on to work at hospitals in other states, potentially exposing thousands of patients to hepatitis C?
