Peer Review Privilege Gets a Win in LTC Case

In Maxwell v. College Hills Opco, LLC, 2025 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 126044 (D. Kan. July 2, 2025), the court denied a motion to compel internal CASPER reports used in a nursing home’s quality assurance process.

Even though the reports were emailed internally, Judge Birzer held they remained protected under Kansas peer review and quality assurance privileges. In camera review confirmed they qualified.
