Health Care - As enacted, specifies that a good faith disclosure of information related to an activity of a quality improvement committee (QIC) made by a healthcare provider or healthcare organization to a patient or a family member of a patient is not a waiver of the privilege and confidentiality protections provider under current law if made in an open discussion; makes other related changes. - Amends TCA Title 68, Chapter 11.
SB 2413 protects patient privacy by clarifying that healthcare providers or organizations can share information about quality improvement committee (QIC) activities with patients or their families without losing legal confidentiality protections. It allows voluntary, open discussions after adverse healthcare incidents (like patient injuries or deaths) to focus on solutions and settlements, without admitting liability. These communications remain confidential, cannot be used in court, and must include warnings about legal rights. The bill ensures such disclosures are separate from QIC proceedings and shields providers from liability when discussions occur in good faith.
