Modifies provisions relating to peer review committees

SB 940 modifies Missouri's peer review committee rules to require hospitals to provide all necessary medical records and quality documentation to the state department, or risk losing their trauma, STEMI, or stroke center designations. It expands the definition of "health care professional" to include those licensed under specific healthcare laws and clarifies that quality improvement activities under these laws count as peer review committee work. The bill strengthens confidentiality protections, making peer review discussions, records, and recommendations privileged and non-discoverable in court, while maintaining immunity for committee members acting in good faith. These changes directly affect hospitals seeking to maintain specialty center designations, healthcare providers participating in peer reviews, and the state department overseeing these processes.
