_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the May 12, 2014 order
of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is GRANTED. The parties shall include
among the issues to be briefed: (1) whether Harrison v Munson Healthcare, Inc., 304
Mich App 1 (2014), erred in its analysis of the scope of the peer review privilege, MCL
333.21515; and (2) whether the Saginaw Circuit Court erred when it ordered the
defendant to produce the first page of the improvement report based on its conclusion that
“objective facts gathered contemporaneously with an event do not fall within the
definition of peer review privilege.”
We further ORDER that the stay entered by this Court on May 14, 2014 shall
remain in effect until completion of this appeal.
I, Larry S. Royster, Clerk of the Michigan Supreme Court, certify that the
foregoing is a true and complete copy of the order entered at the direction of the Court.
