This bill amends the definition of a peer review committee in Iowa law by adding a new category that includes a statewide nonprofit organization that qualifies as an organ procurement organization, as defined in section 142C.1. This change aims to clarify the role of such organizations within the context of peer review processes.
The addition of this new paragraph to Section 147.1, subsection 5, enhances the legal framework surrounding peer review committees by explicitly recognizing the involvement of organ procurement organizations. This inclusion is intended to ensure that these organizations are properly integrated into the peer review system, reflecting their importance in the healthcare and organ donation sectors.
