The Peer Review Improvement Act of 1982 authorizes quality improvement organizations (QIOs), formerly known as PROs, to acquire information necessary to fulfill their duties and functions and places limits on disclosure of the information. These requirements are on the QIOs to provide notices to the affected parties when disclosing information about them. These reqirements serve to protect the rights of the affected parties.
