Bill > H2291

This bill aims to establish the rights and responsibilities of hospital medical staff in Massachusetts. It defines key terms like "governing board" and "medical staff," and outlines the medical staff's right to self-governance, including the ability to set membership criteria, oversee quality assurance, select leadership, assess dues, and retain legal counsel. The bill also requires the medical staff and hospital governing board to meet and resolve any disputes in good faith, and allows the medical staff to seek court intervention if their rights are hindered. Additionally, the bill mandates that personal and financial information disclosed by medical staff members cannot be used for other purposes without their consent.
