The bill specifies the mandatory components of a quality management program established by an emergency medical services organization, the purpose of which is to conduct assessments of prehospital care provided by emergency medical service (EMS) providers.
Information collected and maintained pursuant to a quality management program that contains the required components is confidential, and persons who participate in a quality management program cannot be compelled to testify in a civil or administrative proceeding. The confidentiality protections do not apply to factual testimony about which a person has personal knowledge. Persons participating in a quality management program in good faith are not liable for any damages resulting from the proceedings.
