Disclosure under that exception may be obtained where: (1) the statements were made during a quality assurance review meeting; (2) that review meeting concerned the same subject matter as the malpractice action; and (3) the statements were made by a defendant in the action … . “Statements” include written statements, such as letters… , and the PowerPoint slide show at issue here. Drum v Collure, 2018 NY Slip Op 03244, Fourth Dept 5-4-18
