In ''Moore v. Gunnison Valley Hosp.'', 310 F.3d 1315 (10th Cir. 2002), the Court of Appeals for the [[Tenth Circuit]] held that participants in [[peer review]] at a hospital were not entitled to the same [[absolute quasi-judicial immunity]] as enjoyed by participants in a medical board action against a physician.

The Court observed that "[t]here are no significant procedural safeguards" in [[peer review]] at a hospital. Moreover, there is a lack of "direct oversight by a government agency as well as a right to appeal to that agency." Instead, "there is very minimal and undefined oversight by the state medical board and no explicit right of appeal to that board."
