Modifies provisions relating to the admissibility of evidence resulting from peer review committees for health care professionals
Second Read and Referred S Emerging Issues and Professional Registration Committee
Summary
The bill narrows the privilege that protects peer‑review committee documents, keeping memoranda, findings, deliberations and reports about identifiable patients confidential and inadmissible, but allowing other information to be discovered and used in legal actions. It also lets witnesses testify about what they personally know while prohibiting questions about opinions formed solely from peer‑review hearings. The changes impact health‑care providers, hospitals and peer‑review committees.
