But in the case of disclosing a practitioner’s list of privileges, on what grounds could the practitioner sue the disclosing hospital? |

New Content: Members Only | Construct proper peer review disclosures | Sharing peer review information between healthcare organizations is essential to help medical staffs determine practitioners' competence and make informed privilege-granting decisions. However, medical staffs can find themselves facing legal challenges if the disclosure process is done inappropriately. |
Sample letter to respond to third party requests for medical peer review information | Before sending peer review information, a medical staff should first look at state laws to ensure it has a mechanism in place to make disclosures in a confidential manner. For example, Texas allows committee-to-committee disclosures, so for medical staffs in that state, it’s a best practice to include language in the response letter referencing the section of the Texas statute that allows those disclosures without waiving any privileges. |
