Poliner decision reversed: August 22 audio conference presented by HCPro

The Poliner case captured the attention of hospitals, medical staffs, and physicians nationwide when a jury awarded Lawrence Poliner, MD, $377 million in damages as a result of a peer review committee’s decision to suspend the his clinical privileges. 

Although a trial court later reduced that amount to approximately $33 million, the case introduced complex questions and concerns about the continued availability of peer review immunity protections under the Health Care Quality Improvement Act of 1986 (HCQIA).
