August 30 Virtual Forum WIll Examine Peer Review in MInnesota

August 10, 2023

The MMA will present a virtual discussion on what physicians need to know about peer review in Minnesota at noon on August 30. 

Most physicians are aware of confidential peer review in the hospital setting, but aren’t aware that Minnesota law also protects peer review communications in the clinic setting. Many physician groups discuss adverse events, patient complaints, challenging cases, or concerns about a colleague, but aren’t aware that these communications can be protected under the peer review privilege.  

This seminar will address how COPIC’s peer review toolkit and template policies create an easy way for clinics to protect these communications that are critical for maintaining patient safety and improving outcomes. It will be led by Jean Martin, MD, JD, deputy general counsel in COPIC’s legal department. COPIC is MMA’s preferred medical liability insurance provider.
