McBroom v. Graybeal

McBroom v. Graybeal,
No. 99C-02-208-CHT (Del. Super. Ct. March 31, 2000)

Malpractice plaintiff sought physician defendant’s
applications for clinical privileges, a letter concerning reappointment, and a
memorandum concerning monitoring and evaluation/quality assessment and
improvement. The Superior Court of Delaware denied the patient’s motion to
compel production of the documents, reasoning that they are records within the
meaning of the Delaware peer review statute, that the information provided to
the review committee by the doctor is protected, and that there was no showing
that the privilege associated with the letter and memorandum was waived.
