[§671D-3]  Findings.  The legislature
finds the following:



(1)  There is an overriding need to provide incentive
and protection for physicians engaging in effective professional peer review;



(2)  The occurrence of medical malpractice actions has
become a problem in Hawaii which can be addressed in part by promoting more
effective peer review; and



(3)  The threat of private money damage liability
under state laws unreasonably discourages physicians from participating in
effective professional peer review. [L 1989, c 354, pt of §3 and c 363, pt of
§3]
