Q: Discoverable data

A: I apologize for any confusion my previous response may have caused. Let me provide a more relevant answer to your question about discoverable data related to hospital provider license IDs and dates of affiliation under California law.

In California, the discoverability of such information would likely fall under the scope of the Civil Discovery Act, which is part of the California Code of Civil Procedure. This act governs the exchange of information between parties in a legal action.

According to the Civil Discovery Act, parties may obtain discovery regarding any matter, not privileged, that is relevant to the subject matter involved in the pending action, as long as the matter appears reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence (CCP § 2017.010).

In the context of a medical malpractice case or a case involving a healthcare provider's affiliation with a hospital, information such as the provider's license ID and dates of affiliation could be considered relevant and therefore discoverable. However, there may be certain limitations or protections in place, such as:

1. Privacy concerns related to patient information (protected under HIPAA)

2. Peer review privilege (Evidence Code § 1157)

3. Attorney-client privilege or work product doctrine (Evidence Code §§ 950-962)

It's important to note that discovery requests must be properly served and can be subject to objections by the opposing party. If there are disputes over the discoverability of certain information, the court may need to intervene and make a determination.

For a more detailed and case-specific analysis, it is always best to consult with a licensed California attorney who specializes in the relevant area of law.
