The resolution urges the Louisiana division of administration, the Patient's Compensation Fund, and the Patient's Compensation Fund Oversight Board to conduct a study on the feasibility and potential costs of implementing an electronic filing (e-filing) system for medical review panel requests, as well as an electronic payment (e-payment) system for associated filing fees. Currently, malpractice claims must be submitted through postal mail, in person, or via facsimile, which can be inefficient and time-consuming. The resolution highlights the benefits of transitioning to an e-filing and e-payment system, including improved efficiency, security, and reliability in processing time-sensitive requests and ensuring timely payment of filing fees.

The study is expected to assess the ability to implement these technological improvements under existing legislative authority and to evaluate any associated costs, which could potentially be incorporated as convenience fees into the filing fees. The division of administration is required to submit a written report detailing the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the study to the legislature by December 31, 2025. The resolution also mandates that copies be sent to relevant officials, including the commissioner of administration and the executive director of the Patient's Compensation Fund.
