In today’s healthcare landscape, peer review and credentialing are vital for upholding high standards of patient care and professional accountability. However, individuals involved in or advising on these processes - physicians, administrators, committee members, attorneys and others - must navigate legal frameworks and understand the link with Medical Staff Bylaws. Federal and state statutes provide critical protections for those involved in good faith peer review and credentialing activities. These laws are intended to encourage honest, thorough evaluations by shielding participants from liability and preserving the confidentiality of proceedings. Understanding and maximizing these legal protections is not preferable—it’s a strategic and business necessity.
This seminar will explore the legal standards a physician must meet to pursue damages following an adverse peer review decision. It will also cover examples of cases demonstrating dos and don’ts for a hospital, Medical Staff or committee to be entitled to immunity. Join us to gain the insights and tools needed to navigate this legal terrain, avoid common pitfalls, and ensure your peer review and credentialing efforts are both effective and legally sound.
