The bill would amend the Public Health Code to provide for the confidentiality of professional review data and records of an institution of higher education with colleges of osteopathic and human medicine.
The Code provides that the records, data, and knowledge collected for or by individuals or committees assigned a professional review function in a health facility or agency are confidential, are not public records or subject to court subpoena, and may be used only for the purposes provided in Article 17 of the Code (which governs health facilities and agencies). The bill would extend this provision to the records, data, and knowledge collected for or by individuals or committees assigned a professional review function in an institution of higher education in this State that has colleges of osteopathic and human medicine.
The bill is tie-barred to House Bill 5063, which would amend the governmental immunity law to revise the exception to immunity that applies to hospitals and hospital employees.
