No lawsuits until peer review is complete, Colorado Supreme Court rules
November 12th, 2007 Posted by: Dr. Dobson
Physicians say a Colorado Supreme Court ruling recognizes the importance of protecting ongoing peer review from the threat of lawsuits. But they say the decision likely will make it difficult for doctors to get relief from the courts when they believe abuses are taking place during the proceedings.
A unanimous high court ruled that physicians subject to peer review have to wait until the process runs its course before seeking relief in court over any alleged wrongful treatment.
