(b) Data, records, reports, and documents collected or compiled by or on behalf of the committee are not admissible in a legal proceeding and are exempt from discovery and disclosure to the same extent that records of and testimony before committees that evaluate the quality of medical or hospital care are exempt under § 16-46-105(a)(1).
