Modifies provisions relating to peer review committees

HB 2406 clarifies the roles and protections for peer review committees, which are groups of licensed health care professionals responsible for evaluating the quality of medical services. The bill defines "health care professional" to include a wide range of practitioners such as physicians, nurses, dentists, and social workers, and outlines various ways these committees can be formed, including by hospitals, professional societies, or medical staff. A key provision grants immunity from civil lawsuits to committee members and related hospital officials when they act in good faith during their review duties. Additionally, the bill establishes strict confidentiality rules, ensuring that committee records and discussions cannot be used as evidence in court or shared with the public, though these protections do not apply when a committee is taking disciplinary action against a provider's license or privileges.
