Bill > H1747

This bill amends the medical peer review law in Massachusetts. It specifies that the proceedings, reports, and records of a medical peer review committee are generally confidential, but can be made available to certain parties, such as an injured person or their representative, and can be used in judicial or administrative proceedings involving the medical provider who was the subject of the peer review. The bill also allows individuals who testified before the committee to testify in subsequent proceedings, and permits the use of documents or records that were originally available from other sources, even if they were presented to the committee. However, the bill allows courts to place reasonable restrictions on the use of this information to maintain confidentiality and privacy.
