ORDER
PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 7th day of July, 2016, the Petitions for Allowance of Appeal are
GRANTED, limited to the following issues, as stated by petitioners:
1. Whether the Superior Court erred by holding an outside medical provider’s
peer review proceedings regarding its employees who staff a hospital’s
Emergency Department under a contract with that hospital are not entitled
to protection from disclosure under the Pennsylvania Peer Review
Protection Act?
2. Whether the sharing of peer review records by a third-party medical
provider that operates a hospital’s Emergency Department with the
administration of that hospital constitutes a waiver of peer review
protection as to those records?
3. Whether a hospital that contracts with a third-party medical provider to
operate the hospital’s Emergency Department may claim protection under
the Peer Review Protection Act for records of peer review proceedings
conducted by the medical provider regarding its employees who staff the
hospital’s Emergency Department?
These matters are to be listed for argument with the petitions granted at 40, 41 &
42 WAL 2016.
