HEALTH: Directs the Louisiana Board of Medical Examiners to study the feasibility and practicality of creating a physician review panel
This resolution directs the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners to conduct a two-year study on creating a physician review panel. The panel would evaluate specific complaints about clinical decisions, such as diagnosis and treatment, before they move to formal disciplinary action. The study will examine various details, including who serves on the panel, how complaints are handled, and the legal weight of the panel's recommendations. The board must consult with medical professionals and submit its final report to the legislature by February 2028.
