HEALTH CARE: Provides relative to peer review of health systems. (8/1/26)

The definition of 'health system' was removed from the main confidentiality section (Subsection G), which previously established the legal basis for sharing peer review records across multiple hospitals owned by the same entity.

A new Subsection H was added to define 'health system' and create a specific rule allowing peer review information to be shared within a health system or among affiliated hospitals, provided the data is used only for credentialing, quality review, or patient safety purposes.

The scope of the bill was altered by splitting the rules for confidentiality and information sharing; the original version combined these concepts under one definition, while the new version separates them into distinct subsections.

The bill header was changed from 'ENROLLED' to 'ORIGINAL', and the legislative session identifier was updated from '2026 Regular Session' to 'SLS 26RS-388', reflecting the document's status as a draft rather than a finalized law.

The document header was updated to reflect the final 'Enrolled' status, and the page count was adjusted from 5 to 4.

Corrected the title of the act to include the introductory paragraph of R.S. 13:3715.3(A) in the list of sections being amended.

Reordered the list of sections in Section 1 to ensure the introductory paragraph is listed first before subsections (2) and (B).

Adjusted the internal numbering and indentation of the statutory text to fix a formatting issue where a definition was incorrectly labeled as '(b)(c)' instead of '(c)'.
