examine witnesses, administer oaths, and issue subpoenas, except	1624
that the board may not compel the attendance of the respondent in	1625
an investigation. A subpoena for patient record information may be	1626
issued only if the supervising member, executive director,	1627
secretary, and an attorney from the office of the attorney general	1628

complaint alleges a violation of this chapter and that the records	1630

investigation or approves the issuance of a subpoena for patient	1633
records shall participate in further adjudication of the case. The	1634

subpoena, reading it to the person, or leaving it at the person's	1645
usual place of residence. When the person being served is a person	1646
whose practice is authorized by this chapter, service of the	1647
subpoena may be made by certified mail, return receipt requested,	1648
and the subpoena shall be deemed served on the date delivery is	1649
made or the date the person refuses to accept delivery.	1650

in obedience to a subpoena shall receive the fees and mileage	1653
provided for witnesses under section 119.094 of the Revised Code.	1654

(B)(1) The board shall conduct all investigations and	1655
proceedings in a manner that protects the confidentiality of	1656
patients and persons who file complaints with the board. The board	1657

information about patients or complainants unless proper consent	1659
is given or, in the case of a patient, the patient privilege has	1660
been waived by the patient. Information received by the board	1661
pursuant to an investigation is confidential and not subject to	1662
discovery in any civil action.	1663

information, with law enforcement agencies, other licensing	1666
boards, and other government agencies that are prosecuting,	1667
adjudicating, or investigating alleged violations of statutes or	1668
administrative rules. An agency or board that receives the	1669
information shall comply with the same requirements regarding	1670
confidentiality as the board must comply with under division	1671
(B)(1) of this section, notwithstanding any conflicting provision	1672
of the Revised Code or procedure of the agency or board that	1673
applies when it is dealing with other information in its	1674
possession.	1675

(3) In a judicial proceeding, any information the board	1676
receives pursuant to an investigation may be admitted into	1677
evidence only in accordance with the Ohio Rules of Evidence, but	1678
the court shall require that appropriate measures be taken to	1679
ensure that confidentiality is maintained with respect to any part	1680
of the information that contains names or other identifying	1681
information about patients or complainants whose confidentiality	1682
was protected by the board when the information was in the board's	1683
possession. Measures to ensure confidentiality that may be taken	1684
