Prehospital Healthcare

Summary

The bill adds a new article to South Carolina’s medical code that makes all records and reports from continuous quality improvement programs for emergency medical services clinicians confidential and privileged. It bars their use as evidence in any legal proceeding and establishes penalties for anyone who discloses them without permission. Participants acting in good faith are immune from civil or criminal liability, except when they engage in willful misconduct.
