Abstract:
As hospitals attempt to position themselves as competitive economic units with selected physicians, economic credentialing of hospital medical staff will accelerate. What recourse do physicians on staff have when a hospital enters into an exclusive contract with another group? Do the due process provisions in the medical staff bylaws apply?
