GA96HB546 96 HB 546 HOSPITAL-MED STAFF PRIVILEGES Amends the Hospital Licensing Act. Provides that in the event that a hospital or the medical staff imposes a summary suspension, the Medical Executive Committee, or other comparable governance committee of the medical staff as specified in the bylaws, must meet as soon as is reasonably possible to review the suspension and to recommend whether it should be affirmed, lifted, expunged, or modified if the suspended physician requests such review, and provides that a summary suspension may not be implemented unless there is actual documentation or other reliable information that an immediate danger exists. Adds provisions concerning peer review used for the purpose of credentialing, privileging, disciplinary action, or other recommendations affecting medical staff membership or exercise of clinical privileges.
