Bill > H1918

This bill expands the definition of a "medical peer review committee" to include committees of pharmacy societies or associations, or committees established by pharmacy owners or employers, that evaluate the quality of pharmacy services, the competence of pharmacists, and suggest improvements to enhance patient care. It also clarifies that the provisions regarding medical peer review apply to committees formed by individual healthcare providers, physician groups, licensed healthcare facilities, or any combination thereof, regardless of whether the committee's formation is legally mandated or if the entity is solely affiliated with specific types of healthcare institutions. This aims to broaden the scope of medical peer review to encompass more entities involved in healthcare quality assessment and improvement.
