The Poliner case captured the attention of hospitals, medical staffs, and physicians nationwide when a jury awarded Lawrence Poliner, MD, $377 million in damages as a result of a peer review committee’s decision to suspend the his clinical privileges.
Although a trial court later reduced that amount to approximately $33 million, the case introduced complex questions and concerns about the continued availability of peer review immunity protections under the Health Care Quality Improvement Act of 1986 (HCQIA).
Join HCPro on Friday, August 22 for Poliner Decision Reversed: Strategies for Effective Peer Review Processes Amid Legal Uncertainty. This 90-minute presentation will cover the facts of the Poliner case and its significance for peer review activities, protections offered by HCQIA, and best practices for peer review despite judicial and legislative curve balls.
