Sec. 5-655.
Cooperation by directors.
The directors of
departments (see Section 5-10 of this Law for the definition of "director")
shall devise a practical and working
basis for co-operation and co-ordination of work, eliminating duplication
and overlapping of functions. They shall, so far as practicable, co-operate
with each other in the employment of services and the use of quarters and
equipment. The director of any department may empower or require an
employee
of another department, subject to the consent of the superior officer of
the employee, to perform any duty that the director
might require of his or her own
subordinates.
The directors of departments may co-operate in the investigation of any
licensed health care professional or may jointly investigate such a person
and may share the results of any cooperative, joint, or independent
investigation of such a person.
