- You have a duty to protect the confidentiality of the information you review. Do not discuss the case or even the existence of the case with your friends, your colleagues, or the news media.
- The list of names of physicians serving as expert panelists is subject to disclosure under the Open Records Act. However, the individual cases reviewed by an expert panelist are kept strictly confidential at all times, unless you decide to be an expert witness for a hearing.
- To ensure confidentiality you will be given a number to be used to sign your reports.
- Although your name is confidential, your qualifications for reviewing a case are not. When you list your qualifications, please do not include information that would allow someone to figure out who you are. For example, don't say that you are serving as the president of your state specialty society.
