Quality Improvement Act and how
to implement those provisions? The
Healthcare Quality Improvement Act of 1986 (HCQIA) is a federal law that was
enacted to create a national tracking system of physicians with a history of medical
malpractice payments or adverse actions. This Act is meant to protect the
public from spam physicians by allowing those physicians on peer review
committees to communicate in an open and honest environment and thus removing
incompetent physicians, without the specter of a retaliatory lawsuit by the
reviewed physician. Attend this training program “The Healthcare QualityImprovement Act: How to achieve Immunity in Your Peer Review Process” by William
Mack Copeland, to gain an understanding of how the HCQIA protects your
organization and on those who participate in the peer review process in your
organization. You will also gain an appreciation of the actions that are
required to perfect HCQIA immunity. Failure to take the appropriate actions and
to follow the correct protocol can result in confusion.
