Won a critical decision for the healthcare community before the Colorado Supreme Court.

In a position joined by numerous amici curiae briefs, WTO lawyers prevailed before the Colorado Supreme Court in an appeal that affirms healthcare providers' rights to free and frank discussion following critical incidents. The Quality Management Privileged designation is a cornerstone of the medical community's efforts to continually improve and learn from recent and past experiences.

In this victory, WTO demonstrated to the Court that our client was at all times compliant with and licensed by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) and that, despite the plaintiff's claims to the contrary, our client had in place a CDPHE-approved QMP plan at the time of the incident. The decision additionally reinforces the generally accepted standard that the CDPHE, not a trial court, approves and regulates QMP plans.
