An Emergency Restriction Order (ERO) is a serious action taken by the Florida Department of Health (DOH) when it believes that a Certified Osteopathic Physician poses an immediate danger to public safety. Issued under Florida Statutes Chapters 20, 456, and 459, an ERO can severely limit a physician’s ability to practice, often without prior notice, leaving the physician unable to perform specific procedures or continue patient care.
For Osteopathic Physicians, this can have devastating consequences, not only for their practice but also to their professional reputation. Common reasons for an ERO include allegations of malpractice, substance abuse, or violations of ethical or medical standards. However, it’s important to remember that an ERO is not the final word. You have the right to challenge the order through the Administrative Law process, and with proper legal representation, you can present your defense and protect your license.
