Negligent Privileging
Problem: Negligent Privileging
|
Healthcare organizations are charged with providing the proper environment and adequate resources to support safe patient care. Negligent credentialing refers to a type of liability in which a patient is injured by an incompetent or unqualified healthcare provider and the healthcare organization is directly responsible to the patient because of a failure to properly conduct the credentialing process.

Privity of contract occurs between patient and the hospital that privileged the provider. At some hospitals the process is often perfunctory, frequently political, and infrequently meticulous, merely an exercise in paperwork completion. At others, it is no more than a rubber stamp aimed at keeping big admitters and volume producers on staff. Overall annual medical liability system costs, including defensive medicine, are estimated to be $55.6 billion in 2008 dollars, or 2.4 percent of total health care spending.
