AI Summary
This bill aims to update the definition of a "medical peer review committee" in Massachusetts law. It broadens the scope of the types of committees that can be considered medical peer review committees, including committees formed by individual healthcare providers, physician groups, or licensed healthcare facilities to evaluate the quality, compliance, and costs of healthcare services, as well as to assess the fitness of healthcare providers. The bill also clarifies that the legal protections for medical peer review committees apply to these broader types of committees, even if their formation is not required by law or regulation.
