Description: Physicians are not generally employees of hospital, but rather they are granted "privileges" to perform their professional services within the hospital. The task of qualifying physicians for privileges invokes the hospital's credentialing duty, and the task of removing a physician's privileges involves the medical staff's peer review function. This program will educate attorneys, especially those who do not regularly advise physicians and hospitals, about the processes and procedures hospitals must follow in order adequately credential members of their medical staff's, the legal consequences of not doing so, known as a claim for negligent credentialing, the Tennessee Peer Review Law of 1967 and the federal Health Care Quality Improvement Act of 1986 which provide qualified immunity to peer review participants, the doctrine of the peer review privilege and its limitations, and some of the recent developments related to this area of the law. The program will also include drafting tips for medical staff bylaws, and examples of documents related to the due process rights of physicians faced with an adverse credentialing decision or peer review action.
