225.997 Physicians as Reviewers:
The MSSNY, in total cognizance of the rights and privileges of licensed practicing physicians, seeks legislation to require that all peer review activities, conducted under the auspices of the PRO, the New York State Department of Health, Office of Professional Medical Conduct, and/or any other authority commissioned to perform physician peer review, be performed by physicians currently engaged in that specialty or not more than five years removed from the practice of the same specialty. In addition, the physician conducting peer review should submit evidence of board certification by a specialty or subspecialty as recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties.
MSSNY is seeking legislation that would include the performance of peer review within the definition of the practice of medicine. (HOD 1990-39; Reaffirmed; HOD 1991-62; Reaffirmed HOD 1996-52; Reaffirmed HOD 2014; Reaffirmed HOD 2024)
