§671D-3 - Findings. - Hawaii Statutes

     [§671D-3]  Findings.  The legislature finds the following:

     (1)  There is an overriding need to provide incentive and protection for physicians engaging in effective professional peer review;

     (2)  The occurrence of medical malpractice actions has become a problem in Hawaii which can be addressed in part by promoting more effective peer review; and

     (3)  The threat of private money damage liability under state laws unreasonably discourages physicians from participating in effective professional peer review. [L 1989, c 354, pt of §3 and c 363, pt of §3]
