State Peer Review Laws As A Tool To Incentivize Reporting To Medical Boards, Nadia N. Sawicki
Saint Louis University Journal of Health Law & Policy
State medical boards have been stymied in their ability to take disciplinary action against physicians who engage in serious misconduct, in part because hospitals and other health care organizations rarely report such misconduct.

This Article proposes that state legislatures link state medical practice act reporting requirements with state laws establishing an evidentiary privilege for peer review activities.
