(4) The failure of the health organization to respond, in a manner satisfactory to the commissioner, to a corrective order (provided the health organization has not challenged the corrective order under § 27-4.7-8); or

In the event the commissioner takes these actions, the authorized control level event shall be deemed sufficient grounds for the commissioner to take action under chapters 14.1, 14.2, and 14.3 of this title, and the commissioner has the rights, powers, and duties with respect to the health organization that are set forth in chapters 14.1, 14.2, and 14.3 of this title.
