What part of the Peer Review process is confidential?
All proceedings of the nursing Peer Review committee are confidential and all communications made to the committee are privileged. All information made confidential is not subject to subpoena or discovery in any civil matter, is not admissible as evidence in any judicial or administrative proceeding, and may not be introduced into evidence in a nursing liability suit arising out of the provision of, or failure to provide, nursing services. SB993 (80th Legis Session (2007)) added 303.0075 that addresses protection of information shared between the peer review committee and a patient safety committee under 301.457(g).
