Kutner Quoted on Hospitals’ Peer Review Protections

Chris Kutner was interviewed for the Healthcare Risk Management article, “Protect Peer Review Privileges, or Risk Serious Consequences,” which discusses the importance of maintaining privileges.

Chris notes that peer review privilege provides an opportunity for a completely candid evaluation. He adds that it is important to balance the need for an expeditious investigation with the requirements of the peer review statutes. “Statutes affording privilege must be followed to the letter if the hospital will intend to use privilege as a
shield.”
