(a)

Within fifteen days after receipt of a complaint, provide the complainant with a written notice providing contact information for the board and a summary of the regulatory and statutory procedures, timelines, and complainant and respondent rights that apply to the processing and resolution of complaints, including, if the complainant is the patient of the licensee who is the subject of the complaint, a notice of the patient’s right to receive from the licensee a copy of the complainant’s patient records pursuant to sections 25-1-801 and 25-1-802;
