An Act amending the act of July 20, 1974 (P.L.564, No.193), known as the Peer Review Protection Act, further providing for definitions and for confidentiality of review organization's records.

This bill amends Pennsylvania's Peer Review Protection Act to update definitions and strengthen confidentiality rules for health care review organizations. It directly affects professional health care providers, including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and facility administrators, who participate in quality improvement evaluations. The legislation clarifies who counts as a provider and expands the list of specific review committees, such as those for tissue use and insurance claims, that must keep their records private. By refining these legal terms, the bill aims to ensure that sensitive information about patient care and provider performance remains protected during internal evaluations.
