CHAPTER 9
Corporate Structure and Legal Issues

Ensure Medical Staff Competency

Healthcare organizations have a responsibility to ensure the competency of their
medical staff and to evaluate the quality of medical treatment rendered on their
premises. The California Court of Appeals in Elam v. College Park Hospital reviewed
a question as to “whether a hospital is liable to a patient under the doctrine of corporate
negligence for negligent conduct of independent physicians and surgeons who, as
members of the hospital staff, avail themselves of the hospital facilities, but who are
neither employees nor agents of the hospital.” The Court of Appeals upheld that a
hospital is liable to a patient under the doctrine of corporate negligence for the
negligent conduct of independent physicians and surgeons who are neither employees
nor agents of the hospital.
