Once NC HIEA revokes the Participant’s Digital Credentials, NC HIEA <br />shall provide a notice of the revocation to the remaining Participants. <br />19.03.Suspension by NC HIEA. Upon NC HIEA completing a preliminary investigation and determining <br />that there is a substantial likelihood that a Participant’s acts or omissions create an immediate threat <br />or will cause irreparable harm to another party including, but not limited to, a Participant; a <br />Participating Entity; an Authorized User; the integrity or operation of NC HealthConnex; or an <br />individual whose Message Content is Transacted using the Onboardingand TechnicalSpecifications; <br />the Participants hereby grant to NC HIEA the power to summarily suspend, to the extent necessary <br />to address the threat posed by the Participant, a Participant’s Digital Credentials, pending the <br />submission and approval of a corrective action plan, as provided in this Section. Upon suspension, <br />NC HIEA shall immediately suspend the Participant’s Digital Credentials and within twelve (12) <br />business hours of suspending a Participant’s right to Transact Message Content (i) provide a notice <br />of such suspension to all Participants; and (ii) provide to the suspended Participant a written summary <br />of the reasons for the suspension. The Participant shall use reasonable efforts to respond to the <br />suspension Notice with a detailed plan of correction or an objection to the suspension within three <br />(3) business days or, if such submission is not reasonably feasible within three (3) business days, <br />then at the earliest practicable time. If the Participant submits a plan of correction, NC HIEA shall, <br />within five (5) business days, review and either accept or reject the plan of correction. If the plan of <br />correction is accepted, NC HIEA shall, upon completion of the plan of correction, reinstate the <br />Participant’s Digital Credentials and provide a notice to all Participants of such reinstatement. If the <br />plan of correction is rejected, the Participant’s suspension will continue, during which time NC HIEA <br />and the Participant shall work in good faith to develop a plan of correction that is acceptable to both <br />the Participant and NC HIEA. At any time after NC HIEA rejects a Participant’s plan of correction, <br />either the Participant or NC HIEA may submit a Dispute to the Dispute Resolution Process described <br />in Section 20. If NC HIEA and the Participant cannot reach agreement on a plan of correction <br />through the Dispute Resolution Process, NC HIEA may terminate the Participant in accordance with <br />Section 19.04. <br />19.04.Termination by NC HIEA.
